This would be sooo much better if this weekends storm would materialize into something. I feel like we a chasing ghosts if nothing actually happens that is even close to the models.
Holding together here in NW OH and SE MI for some nice high ratio fluff. Still amazing the trend this winter for systems to fade as they reach this longitude....
I've noticed over the years that the Big Storms usually come at the beginning, or end, of an arctic air mass. The Euro is hinting at the end of this current outbreak. Week of 15-19 seems to be our best chance of something special.
Why CLE wouldn't issue any advisory for the Toledo area is beyond me! We've had two inches in two hours and have accidents everywhere. We also have another 2 to go. On top of that we will have a legit flash freeze overnight with 30-40 mph winds and an absolutely treacherous morning commute. It's like having 7/10 indicators for tornadoes and not issuing a watch. Almost borderline negligent. If it's not happening in Cleveland proper or the snowbelt, they won't mention it.
It's nice to have Stebo in our neck of the woods offering his insight and wisdom. He's kind of like a big brother for us Michigan/Indiana/Ohio folk. Thanks, Stebo
Definitely wagons south with this so far today. Seems to be a disconnect with Thermals though. Models seems to be playing catchup with a quickly evolving pattern. Thoughts??
Do you think this will affect all of Ohio?? Thanks for brining this to our attention. Also, in this current set up, why doesn't Toledo get lake affect. Is it our Elevation??
What mesoscale model depicts lake affect/enhancement the best?? Sitting here in Toledo hoping for some lake enhancement with tomorrow's stiff easterly wind. Any help would be appreciated.
