NEOH

CLE issued a watch for 6-10". Seems bullish but we'll see. BUF's onboard so confidence must be high,

I hope so as well. I think the snow will be able to absorb quite a bit of rain. But it the temp and dewpoint spike it could get ugly.

I'm rooting for a warm and rainy cutter next week... the snow has to melt at some point. We could do without flooding, but I think that is inevitable given the snow pack. The snow is so dense and deep it is difficult to walk around in it. I must be getting old but I'm done with winter.

Picked up 1.4" yesterday. Looks like the CLE snowhole continues. Made it down to -12 last night. Incredible stretch of cold weather. After this coming Sunday's snowfall I'm ready to pull the plug on this winter.

It got down to -13 before rising. It was -6 at about 6am. Anything above 10 feels warm these days.

-9 already Imby. How low can we go. Nice pics of the ice... Amazing to see virtually no ice on Lake Ontario. That lake is almost impossible to freeze... Considering superior and Huron are almost frozen over.

Same here. It was snowing heavily last night. It was pure fluff.

About the same here. Thought round 2 would be good but the snow moved out quickly. Definitley not fluff... These sandy type snows seem more substantial. Snow depth ranges from 16-20" of dense snow.

We've had a pretty good run here. You guys just a little northwest tend to hold on to snow cover much better. This has been has been a great stretch of winter by Ohio standards. My son asked when the snow would melt... wasn't sure how to answer that question other than enjoy it while it lasts.

I had 2.8" with the first batch... Probably another inch since the snow started again. Radar looks great, and there's a nice band over the lake. Wonder if we don't see 5-6" out of this.That band running SW to NE over the lake always seems to form. Not sure why that is.

Coming down nicely here. Radar looks good at the moment... hopefully it fills in to the west.

It is very rural in that area so I'm sure it radiates well. Looks like it is located just east of the geauga ridge in the valley so I wouldn't too surprised at the reading... even if it is a degree or two off that's still impressive.

That is what has put this winter in rare territory... snow on top of snow etc. SREF mean is almost up to 6" for CLE. Quite a few members above that as well.

It will be interesting to see how this storm plays out. Can't put much faith in any model solution. NAM cobb output is .38", while the GFS is .38" as well. Should be good for a 4-5" snowfall. A small nudge NW wouldn't be a bad thing.

My weather station read -22 this morning. We'll see what today's model runs bring... but I'm guessing that we'll see a solid 4-6" snowfall.

Some very light snow falling now but these clouds won't last long tonight. We'll see if I can beat my weekly low of -18.

Picked up around 2" last night. Nice surprise.

Looks like CLE thinks the low will ride over the top of us. Probably not a bad call but still a long ways to go with this storm. All snow along the lakeshore is bold... but with the airmass in place and frozen lake seems plausible. FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...THE SURFACE NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS TO DEVELOP OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AS THE SEEMINGLY EVER-PERSISTENT WEST COAST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TEMPORARILY BUCKLES AND LETS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SINK INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST US. A TIGHTENING BAROCLINIC ZONE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BETWEEN THE GULF MOISTURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST US AND RETREATING ARCTIC AIR OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION/NORTHEAST US. SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION...INITIALLY AS SNOW...LOOKS INCREASINGLY LIKELY SATURDAY WITH A SATURATED AIRMASS IN A WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN AHEAD OF THE MAIN LOW...WITH THE LOW ITSELF MOVING OVERHEAD SATURDAY NIGHT. LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... BY SUNDAY MORNING...THE LOW SHOULD BE OVER SW NY AND SLOWLY DEEPENING WITH TIME. THE PATTERN AND PLACEMENT OF THE LOW SUPPORTS SNOW ALONG THE LAKESHORE...WITH A MIX OR POSSIBLE CHANGEOVER TO RAIN WELL INLAND...BEFORE COLD AIR WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW BRINGS A CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW AGAIN LATER SUNDAY.

Ok. Its a deal. But it better torch the last 3 weeks of March.

Not always the situation. The staff at the CLE NWS don't even measure the snow. They use an FAA observer who isn't affiliated with the NWS. Doesn't that make sense?! CLE NWS is no more than a couple hundred yards from the runway at CLE. Certainly not an ideal spot for measure snow. But even in light wind situations they still are not accurate. It would seem to me that regardless of winds, CLE has an issue with snowfall reporting.

I wouldn't get too caught up in any one model run at this point. I'll give it until Friday before taking anything seriously.

How dare you . People will be cooling drinks on Memorial day with the lake ice. Heck, I'm almost ready to sacrifice the snow for some warmth. Must be getting old. Nice steady light snow falling. Flake size has improved as well.

I just can't see this storm cutting north of this area... Could be very wrong of course. The frozen lake will definitely help. At this point I wouldn't count on any lake enhacement given the ice cover. Not often we get a perfect track but we've done better than usual this winter in terms of synoptic snows. Even if the low tracks to YNG we'd get a nice thump.

Seasonal snowfall is at 90.1". Looks like we are almost identical. Haven't been out to measure depth but I'd assume we are close. Yep, some light snows this week with bigger potential over the weekend. I'm almost ready to waive the white flag and say let's get a big one, then move on to a warm/dry March.

I'd trade record low temps for snowfall amounts any day. This cold is ridiculous.
