NEOH

That's right around the total I came up with. Enjoy the snow cover while it lasts. Winter appears to be going into hibernation for awhile. I guess the positive is that the lake will remain open for when the cold returns.

The snow this morning fell in about a half an hour. It dumped as the band move south around 6am. Still snowing nicely in Chagrin. This is a really good wind direction for the area so maybe we can cash in a few more hours before ridging starts to move in.

Looks like the banding CLE mentioned yesterday set-up over the central basin of lake erie. Congrats fish! Which ever model showed the least amount of precip/snow did the best with this one. Maybe we'll pick up another inch or so today. Hopefully the LES performs tomorrow morning. Too bad the ridging moves in from the west so quickly.

No bad trends in today's model runs. Banding will be the key to seeing the higher snowfall totals. Should rip pretty well between 4am - 10am. Thinking 3-5" might be a good call.

Just a dusting last night. Pretty good storm track upcoming for Northeast Ohio... should be south enough to keep the WTOD from pushing this far north. Too bad moisture is so limited on the northern side. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I was surprised when it flipped over around 8:30 this morning. Currently 32/32 IMBY. The wet snow is coating everything.

12z euro is onboard for a few inches from the weekend storm. Short range models are as well. This will be a tricky forecast for CLE.

Pretty rare to get a storm track like that. Now that we get one temps are very marginal. Ugh. Hopefully we can flip to all snow and snag a few inches.

Well that clears things up... :) A digging upper level trough will move quickly east across the western half of the United States. The trough will deepen in response to amplifying ridge along the West Coast by Monday night. The positively tilted trough will rotate a potent positive vorticity maximum through the middle Mississippi Valley region by Monday causing cyclogenesis to occur over Texas. The surface low will then track northeast through the Ohio Valley Monday night. The warm sector will remain to the south of the forecast area and ample moisture will stream north with the system Monday morning from southwest to northeast. A mix of rain/snow will take place across the area Monday into Monday night. 850 mb temperatures are expected to fall from around -6 degrees C to around -10 degrees C by Sunday morning. As the next system approaches Monday morning, mid level temperatures will warm back to just above freezing across the southern half of the forecast area. Will need to monitor temperatures through the column for the possibility for freezing precipitation in the overrunning precipitation threat. As low moves northeast of the area Monday night, cold air advection returns in the mid levels as 850 mb temperatures drop back to around -6 degrees C.

Looks like Lake and Ashtabula counties did pretty well with the brief LES last night. Perhaps we will see a burst of snow later this afternoon as the winds come around... but I'm not confident in the wind turning northwesterly enough for this area. It has been a pretty quiet first 10 days of December. CLE's snowfall deficit is now 3". Next week looks active which is good to see. The euro has a nice storm in the Tuesday time frame.

Just noticed 3-6" is in the forecast. I've been traveling this week so haven't paid much attention. Should be an interesting flight in this evening.

CLE finished November with a -5 temp departure. Given the cold temps you would think there would have been a snowfall surplus but we are running a small deficit. Hopefully things pick back up again.

Welcome back. I haven't been paying much attention to the current storm... didn't realize there was any snow potential. It does look there is a possibility for a couple of inches. You'll just have to take a short road trip from Summit county northeast into Geauga.

The snow is down to patches imby. Certainly has felt like Winter over the past week. CLE's monthly temp departure to date is -9.0... which is really impressive given that area tends to run warm.

11.1" storm total IMBY. Pretty tight snowfall gradient from west to east. Rt. 306 seemed to be the dividing line. Nice to kick off the season with a LES event. The early season events seem to always have a WSW wind direction so it was great to have one with a NW wind for a change.

Measured 10” storm total. Definite snow increase as you head east of 306. Looks amazing out there.snowmis redeveloping on a wnw fetch. Hopefully a few more inches before ridging builds in.

Its been dumping here so I didn't head home. If this band can lock-in this afternoon we'll have no problem hitting OHWeather's forecast.

That sounds like quite a bit more than what I've had at my office (near the high school). We tend to get more out east but I'm heading home shortly and will check. That band is starting to settle in one location which could make for an interesting afternoon if the winds don't shift much.

There have been a couple of those bursts here in Chagrin this morning.. Looks like we got another inch or so since earlier this morning. There has been a lot of movement to the bands so far. The main band over the central basin is migrating east... hopefully that can lock-in for awhile over the east side. Snowing pretty heavily right now.

Measured 4" this morning. Warm ground definitely kept accumulations down on the paved surfaces. Nice band moving into the eastern burbs and geauga. Almost looks like a meso low forming in the central basin.

Currently 38 IMBY. Tough getting temps to drop with the lake temps in the low 50's. At this point it looks like it will be early evening before we flip to snow.

Nice forecast OHWeather. Looks like everything is still on track... although it seems the 06z models have shifted a bit north but that is probably just noise at this point. Precip wise the average among the models seems to be .75" - 1". Hopefully we don't waste too much on liquid. Temp is down to 37 IMBY.

I can't even find the snowfall reports on the CLE NWS site anymore. It was an unusual pattern to how the bands set-up.

Same here. The LES was very localized it seems... focused up towards northern geauga and lake. On to next week.

Temp down to 38 imby. Winds have gone northerly and you can already see a plume of lake enhancement precip heading toward CLE on radar. Edit: Snow starting in Chagrin... a little earlier than I thought it would.
