    Yeah, I've been tracking that over the past couple of days. When was the last time we've seen a 462 dm thickness anywhere on a NA map, and a 468 dm thickness in the US?

    I know we often see very intense short-lived cold outbreaks here (late January 2019 is Exhibit A - ugh).  But what will happen in New England is crazy - basically 36 hours of intense cold, then an incredibly quick warm-up to normal+ as if it never happened.

    That's example what happened in our sub during the January 2019 outbreak.  The Sunday following the Thursday in this graphic pushed 50+ degrees...

    We're only halfway done. But so far it's definitely not as bad as 2011-12 here. Plenty of time for improvement or unimprovement lol. 

    The wintriest spells have been mid November, the week of Christmas, and late January. We have had snow on the ground continuously since the morning of Jan 22 with no melt in immediate sight. We are at 19.2" so far....2011-12 was my all time low (since I started in 1995-96) of 25.5".

    Same..

    Remembering 1/5/2014, "The Polar Vortex"

    I was about to graduate when that happened. I will remember for the bad roads and the fact of how it got down to -17 imby at the time. And in September we had upper 90s and temps where I lived and was quite warm and had some record highs then 4 months later to record cold. That winter I was running out of room in my driveway to shovel snow had mounds over 6’ high. And top it off with it being below 0 in March on my bday was something else. Even that summer was cooler than normal if I remember correctly 

    The Summer in between, Summer of 2014, was like a Fall season.  Your memory serves you correctly.  Cold than normal Lakes perhaps..

    Is it just me or do the short term Hi-Res models seem to be picking up on this baroclinic zone sticking around a bit longer with a weak wave hitting parts of the area??  I know suppression is upon us but if it could just stay a little closer some of us could cash in.

    12z guidance hasn't been bad, hope the euro can bring it home

    Just an observation as of late but anyone else notice how the similar the CMC has been to the Euro as of late, at least medium range.  

    Today's 12Z CMC has a more SW to NE orientation with the baroclinicity.  Guess we'll see how the euro compares at 12Z ...

    Temperatures ran 1-3 degrees warmer than expected across almost all of our area and accumulations suffered quite a bit outside of the higher terrain and some areas closer to US 30 where heavy snow arrived earlier. A coworker near the office in Cuyahoga County had 1.6” of snow on 0.33” liquid which is :yikes:

    To OHweather's point:

    Officially 4.6" here in Toledo.  A true paste job.  Fought dry air intrusions through the event but had about an hour of +sn.  

    Warm ground and temps hovering around 33 gave us a SLR of around 6-8:1

    Appears that was a bit higher just to our North and West.

    I just as I posted the SPC mesoscale discussion graphic, and now... the big snowflakes are here. There are aggregate snowflakes or whatever the term is, snowflakes sticking to snowflakes. It's going to be accumulating 1" per hour for a couple of hours at least.

    Thanks for representing the Toledo area.  A bit frustrated with some of the holes in the radar early on but things seem to be filling in nicely now.  Just need the wet-bulbing to kick in and get the temp under 32..

    Pretty rare to see the low slide just to our SE and not get dry slotted.  This only happens about 5% of the time in these parts.  Would of like a little more front end stuff though.
