NEOH

Didn't realize the temp gradient across the area... right at 50 here in Chagrin. Just checked and BKL is at 36. I guess with winds out of the NE that makes sense. I bet the lakeshore areas do pretty well with the fast turnover once the storm passes. It will be a slushfest tomorrow.

If there were colder temps behind the storm it would be an ideal set up. Lakeshore areas will probably flip well before inland areas with lake temps hovering around freezing. There is going to be a sharp gradient with the snow... Check out the counties SE Michigan. From 3" to 10"+ In just a few miles.

Maybe its just the time of the year but I don't have that much interest in the storm. My guess is the storm moves right over CLE. Even if it took a more easterly track temps are marginal at best. Should be a decent lake enhancement set-up though as you mentioned.

It did feel great outside today.... Although the winds were ridiculous. Nice to rip the bandaid off with the snowmelt. No need for delay.

Snowpack is melting rapidly. Up to 51/37 Imby. Probably only piles left by morning.

Looks like we will break out into full sun this afternoon. As long at the DP's remain low we may salvage some snow. The strong winds and sun will do their dirty work though.

Yeah, it will be a bummer to lose the snowpack. What's crazy is that the ground isn't even frozen beneath the snow. All eyes on next weeks potential storm.

Definitely a shame that this storm didn't produce more snow. Not often we get a track like that. This snow seems so much more substantial... its a winter wonderland scene out there.

Picked up 4" overnight. Heavy snow for a change.

3-6" does seem reasonable. Hopefully we'll get a decent defo band going on the backside. The precip shield looks good on radar.

CLE's current snowfall map.

Yeah, the further east you go the better... but with the low pushing into WV I'd imagine there may be precip issues. Too bad the precip shield isn't more expansive.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully we'll get an over-performer for a change. A slight shift west would make a huge difference.

Its going to be a close call that's for sure. Any idea what precip looked on the euro last night? Hard to believe we can't get a decent snowfall with that type of storm track. If only that kicker wasn't there.

Sure feels like mid-winter outside. Wish we would have this weather earlier in the winter. Not a lot of talk about the storm this week. Hoping for a decent synoptic storm. Things look messy as usual. SE winds generally don't bode well for big snows around here.

Crazy snow this evening. Probably 2-3" already. Looks like a lake St. Clair band moving over the lake... Don't see that too often.

Nice forecast OH Weather. Looking forward to the squall with the front... with "green blob" snow over the higher terrain following.

Surprised no advisories issued other than ashtabula county. They will definitely do well if the huron band can set-up... but you would think that lake and geauga would get in the action as well. Interesting that BUF has warnings out for all of WNY which typically doesn't do well with NW wind events given the very short fetch.

Enjoy that Huron band tomorrow. Should be a nice firehose.

Could see a nice burst of snow with the arctic front and a wide open lake. Winds come around from 320 -330. Not enough to get a huron connection. W PA should do well. AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION EARLY FRIDAY. SWWINDS WILL BEGIN TO BACK TO THE WEST BY MIDDAY AS THE FRONTADVANCES. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT AS MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES IN. THIS WILL TRIGGER SOME LAKE EFFECT BANDSFAIRLY RAPIDLY AS THE LAPSE RATES CLIMB. THE FIRST BAND WILL LIKELY CLIP LAKESHORE ERIE/ASHTABULA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITHPERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW. COULD SEE A QUICK 3 TO 5 INCHES IF THE BAND MOVES ONSHORE. THE NW FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGIONFRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH SUPPORT FOR ONGOING LAKE EFFECT. LOOK FOR HURON BANDS TO ENHANCE SNOW AMOUNTS. THE BEST ESTIMATESFOR THE EVENT IS AREAS IN ASHTABULA/ERIE/CRAWFORD OF 8-12". OUTSIDE OF THE SNOWBELT SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE LIMITED TO AROUND ANINCH OR LESS AS THE SYSTEM IS MOISTURE STARVED. SNOW RATIOS WILL BE PUSHING 20 TO 1 AT TIMES SO SNOW AMOUNTS COULD QUICKLYACCUMULATE WITH BANDS.

Yeah... the fluff settles quickly. Best snowpack of the year out this way though. Thanks for taking one for the team... enjoy CA.

We've had around 14"-15" for the event. Yes, it is feast or famine around here. DTA and I live very close... We definitely need a WNW to NW wind for significant snows around here. We are on the SW edge of the snowbelt with a decent elevation of 1,200 ft or so.

Congrats on the snow. It was long overdue.

My co-worker was in both Shaker and Beachwood this morning. He said they had about half of the snow that we have in Chagrin. Not very specific but I think accums were definitely lower in that area. Returns seems to picking-up over the lake. We just had a nice whiteout in Chagrin.

Came up with around the same total last night. The snow must have shut off after 11pm or so. By far the best LES event we've had in quite sometime... and a spread the wealth one at that. Would have liked to see the band lock in place for an extended period of time.
