NEOH

Around 1.5” here. Already melting. Just a coating in areas without elevation. Oof. 

Moderate snow falling. Surprised to see forecast totals increase to 4-8". Dry slot if awfully close already.

Sorry for the complaints, but I think there are users here at the NWS in Cleveland that could look into this. These are just two of the more egregious examples. Obviously, don't have time to sift through all of the observations for every year. But the 12.1" was certainly eye-popping and warranted a review of the record books. No clue why all of the snowfall observations from that winter are missing there. Years ago, brought this to attention of the people in charge of the "Threaded Extremes"  but nothing is ever done to correct the data.

Well, WW2 was in full swing during that time frame so maybe snowfall reporting/measuring was less of a priority.

Still has the opportunity to be our biggest snow this year I believe.   I have low expectations, but anything over 4" would be solid for the year. 

Beautiful day out there today with full sun... even with temps in the 30's it feels nice. Would almost rather miss at this point. But it will be a scenic wet snowfall.

Going away would imply that it was ever here!

I actually think this could be a warning-level snowfall for the primary snowbelt (and probably Cleveland metro too) if we see the southern low track advertised by the GFS and Euro, with at least a good few inches of synoptic snow Friday followed by wrap-around and some lake enhancement Friday night. However, the NAM/RGEM/CMC are a little farther north with the low track and bring a dry slot and some rain up to the lake even in northeast OH for a few hours Friday afternoon and would maybe more of a sloppy system with probably more of a casual advisory snow. The blocked pattern over eastern Canada and the north Atlantic at least leaves the door open for the southern track, but the bologna is sliced pretty thinly. Curious to see what today's 12z runs show. Suspect the NAM/RGEM are too amped but could see some sort of a compromise solution in which the GFS/Euro tick somewhat warmer. 

Ha. Good point. This "winter" is in rare territory for snowfall futility. Here's the snowfall map for 2011/2012. Not even close to 60" here at this point. We'll see what happens from here on out... hopefully Friday trends in a good direction.

Euro just bumped south. Friday is getting interesting. 

Can't winter just go away peacefully . Pretty good consensus but marginal temps are a bit concerning.

figures the GFS/Canadian Show a decent snowfall but NAM/Euro don't this winter lmao

NAM is close as well. GFS and CMC are a solid hit but the RN/SN line is close. Need a few bumps south for any confidence at this point.

37" Imby.   Definitely the worst I've experienced out here.  If only we could transition to a warm enjoyable spring...but of course it'll be 30s and crap for at least March.  

Glad you are keeping track of the snowfall ...  I gave up awhile ago. A warm Spring would be nice but its not looking good at this point.

This winter has got to be a record setter for the Snowbelt as far as lack of snowfall goes.  Chardon, so far this season, has had just under 40".  Ugh!

I hope the saying "What a difference a year makes" applies to next winter.

Definitely a record setter. Probably around 30" or so inches around here. Couldn't imagine being a snow lover and living in an area that only averages 30-40" per season. Yeah, hopefully the coin flips next year. 

CLE finished Feb + 7.4 for the month with 1.2" of snow. Snowfall departure is now 31.6".  Oof.

Nice little glaze on the trees here. This feels worse than the winter of 2011-12 locally. I’ll be happy with any additional snow we get but at this point am enjoying the relatively mild temperatures that are locked in…it’s the hand we were dealt this season. 

I was surprised by the amount of ice out this way. Everything is still glazed over.  Hoping the mild weather continues at this point. Despite the ice today, it has looked and felt like Spring. 

Icy out there this morning. Fairly heavy coating of ice on the trees. Hopefully the temp bumps up soon. Sitting at 31 degrees currently.

What an absolute dumpster fire of a winter.  Lr doesn't look promising at all.  Just about ready to move on to Spring. 

This Winter is about as bad it gets. We've had some clunkers recently but this is a different level. CLE is -25" for the season as of today... the departure is much higher in the snowbelt. The recent mild temps and sun have me in spring mode at this point. Sure, we'll likely see some snow later this month but I've moved on.

I managed to complain my way to 3.7” of wrap around/LES from pre-dawn Thursday through this morning. A little over an inch new overnight last night. 

Just a slow burn of a snowfall. Snowed fairly hard yesterday evening. Picked up around 5" IMBY.

Got about 1" here.  Pretty unimpressive.

Figured your area would do better than that. Big dry slot moving up North though.

Starting to pick up a bit now.  Looks like the current forecast of 2-3" is on track.  

Interested in the rest of the week with the lake effect.  Looks like several chance that will add up. 

Snowing heavily now. 2-3" looks like a good bet before the changeover. We should make up what we lose today on the backside. 

Snow started around 6am. Snowing light to moderately at times. Heavier stuff to the south still to come through. 

Looks like 3-4" possible on the front end tomorrow, then a couple inches more on the backside. The good news is that rain doesn't look significant, and temps only warm into the mid-30's.

headed to northern ohio for work. What's best shot at ground zero for this event? Toledo, Avon, or N, Canton? Leaning Toledo.

At this point Toledo looks like the best place. Should be a good thump on the front end in all locations but Toledo looks to remain all snow.

Liking were I'm at in Perrysburg for the mid-week storm. Feel comfortable saying we get 5-8" here. Seems like good consensus on timing in the guidance. Amounts a bit more variable but seems good enough for WSWs to eventually go out.

You should be ok out west. Looks quite sloppy in this area. Snow to rain then back to snow. Hoping for a bump east in the models today but there's pretty good consensus with the track at this point. Models haven't exactly been performing well so who knows but the WTOD is rarely denied.

Right around 6" IMBY. Its a very scenic and wet snowfall. Definitely better than expected. 

Nice spread the wealth event for Ohio. Great to see things over performing.

Current temp at 30.  WWA for 2-4" seems to be a good call.  Radar looks great to the SW , seems to be over performing in that area.  

Dumping snow here. Went from nothing to heavy snow. Radar looks good along the 71 corridor on north.

12Z NAM coming in a little snowier for Northern OH with the Sunday system.  

That was good to see. Rgem looks good as well. At least there will be snow flying much of the day.

Yeah not looking good for us.  The Euro was giving me some hope but I see the 12z finally caved NW.  Hopefully you guys in the snow belt can cash in on some lake effect.

Far too early to call it. Take a look at the ensemble’s… they all have the low in far eastern OH/western PA. Worst case with that solution would be a front end thump then a short changeover. Still a long ways out.
