NEOH

Snow has picked up in Chagrin. Looks like a dust storm with the snow being so fine. Inversion must be really low as well... sun keeps peaking through. Old/dirty snow has been covered though.

1.2" overnight. We'll see what today brings. I'm almost willing to bet ice spans shore to shore in the Central basin at this point. Outside of the crack that forms east of the western basin there just isn't any signficant open water.

Nice disco and forecast OHWeather. It will be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully we can establish a huron connection over the weekend. Winds definitely come around northerly enough to bring a band in the CLE area. Next week's storm is very interesting. Surprised CLE actually mentioned it in their disco. Not sold on a huge NW shift with the cold high bullying the storm to the east. Granted we were on the northern edge of guidance with the last storm, and wound up on the southern edge of the heaviest snows so anything can happen. At least we'll have a large synoptic storm to track the next few days.

OHWeather. There is definitely potential which each time frame for at least a couple inches to cover the glacier. Since moisture seems adequate, seems like the deciding factor will be ice cover. The trough passages would be our best bet for maximized covergence... but short lived. Maybe we will get peak at the ice later today as clouds are starting to clear out.

Light glaze of ice coating everything this morning. Anywhere from 8" - 11" on the ground. The glaze compacted the snow. This stuff won't be going anywhere for awhile. It took until 10:30 last night for temps to drop IMBY... while it looked like the immediate lakeshore cooled off around 7pm.

44/36 IMBY. Snow is melting but not rapidly. Winds just turned NNE'erly a few minutes ago. Have to wonder if the colder air will start seeping into the lakeshore. I see Erie is at 29.

Ah, spring in southern Ohio. Down to 36/30 here. Melting isn't crazy but rain tomorrow will hurt. Hopefully we can squeeze a les event with the open water. Not holding my breath though..

40/30 Imby. Not a disaster but not good. When do temps fall below freezing again.... Tomorrow afternoon?

Well, this weekend is looking rather balmy and wet. We should be able to maintain a decent snowpack though. Shoveled a path in the yard for our dog and noticed the ground was wet underneath the snow... Not frozen at all. Considering how cold it has been just goes to show how well snow insulates.

CLE still mentioning all snow to the north over the weekend... But still leave the door open for mixing. Not sure why they are so bullish. Was reading in the NE forum that the short waves haven't been sampled. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Seems like it would take a big shift South the remain all snow. The one caveat is that the lake is ice covered. Tomorrow's model runs should bring clarity.

4.8" from round two, and daily total of 7.8". Depth ranges from 19" - 21" in the yard. What a week. Trends for this weekend are not looking that great. CLE's mentions the NE flow locking in the cold around the lakeshore but unless we see a shift south in the models I'm not sold on that.

Yeah, should be one last heavy burst... If it can maintain we should close in on 5" for the second round, and 8" on the the day. Unreal.

CLE was very specific about when and why the advisory was issued in the afd update.. I'm guessing someone read them the riot act about forecasting.

Mod to heavy snow falling in Chagrin. This stuff will pile up quickly.

Last nights snow was very easy to measure. It definitely wasn't fluff but ratio's had to be higher than 11:1. We just have to get used to adding 6-12" to CLE's annual total to account for poor measuring. I think the biggest problem is that CLE is located just a couple hundred yards from the runway at CLE.

Picked up 3.0" last night. Much more than I expected. We'll see what the snow later tonight brings.

Looks like an inch or two tonight and again tomorrow night. Nice refresher. Weekend storm is still in question but lots of potential. The snow in my yard is settling and I noticed the ground is soft beneath the snow. Not sure if that is do to the deep snowpack or what... strange considering we had a solid freeze before the snow cover.

The band finally pushed west. It's dumping in Chagrin. Huge flake size. Wish we could get one of these huron connected bands to stay put for a few hours. We've easily eclipsed the 12" mark. Probably closing in on 14"+ with the fluff snow from this morning.

Yeah, I'd like to know where that spotter is located. 5" is completely inaccurate. Granted I'm on the far eastern edge of south russell but the totals should have been similar.

Definitely one of the better storms we've had in quite some time. As DTA mentioned, the heavy snow consistency will have some staying power... much more so than 15" of powder. I have solid 17" - 19" snowpack. The mix last night compacted it a few inches down. Still snowing in Chagrin. The band out west looks healthly and should drop another inch or two as it swings east.

It will be interesting to see what CLE reports. I noticed they listed a snow depth of 1" in the climate report. Clearly they aren't paying attention.

There was a 1/2 of crust in the snow when I did the driveway this morning. Looked at the radar and it definitely mixed from midnight to 2am. My total is right around 11". I would have expected more last night but ratio's were very low. Powdery lake enhanced snow coming down now. Don't think it will add up to much. Still a great storm.

We must have had some rain here overnight. There's an odd pock marked appearance to the snow.Temp spiked to 32.4 around midnight.

Temp still 31 here. Shoudn't be too long before it starts to drop. There will be a lull but I'm pretty sure it will pick back up again as the snow comes in from the NW, along with lake enhancement developing. I'd imagine the shifting winds on the lake have pushed the ice around enough to open up.

I bet we do. Winds out of the NNE seem to always produce the "green blob". And your area seems to jackpot from it as it transitions east out this way. My call of 10-12" was a complete BS guess. Might actually work out though, or perhaps a little low.
