Seems like the trees turned and fell in a week. About 75% of the leaves are down in my yard. Going to be a long clean up with all of the rain we’ve had. Next week is starting to look interesting on the models.

Ya it was a fast process this year.   Most of my leaves have fallen....still a few trees left.   I'm hoping to get out Sunday and do some cleanup.   

Definitely some interesting looks for next weekend and the following week. Seems to be right on schedule with our first snowfall if it does happen.  

For some reason I thought Cle had already implemented the replacement of lake effect warnings and advisories with winter storm products.   Maybe I'm thinking of another office.  Looks like snow squall warnings this year too.   https://www.weather.gov/cle/news_Winter_Weather_Products_2018

The wet pattern continues for the end of the week.  

Reading back over last year's posts, our first snow was mid Nov., then pretty quiet until early Dec.    Hopefully this year has a better Nov.

Anyone else had enough of the rain yet?! Hopefully we can get a set-up like this when it is colder. Nice lake effect rain band hitting the east side. 

I am!  Leaves are falling in a hurry now. Hope the wet pattern keeps up through winter. 

Yep, same here.   Definitely quite the switch to fall this week.

Surprised the water temp departure isn't higher like some of the other lakes. No complaints about the warm weather... let's hold as much warmth as possible in the water until November. 

I've noticed a lot more color showing over the past few days. The leaf wilting seems to have stopped so hopefully we'll have good fall color. The one thing I have noticed this year is all of the squirrels. When we moved here 6 years ago we rarely saw any squirrels... thanks to the hawks. Now they seem to be everywhere this year - black, gray and brown. 

Colors are popping and leaves falling.   Definitely not as vibrant,  but still early.   Great observation,  we were just talking about all of the squirrels this year.  They are everywhere it seems.  Also noticed more black ones than I've seen in the past.  

Crazy temps,  reminiscent of an August day.  Tomorrow looks the same,  and then the bottom falls out.  I'm done with this heat. 

Looks like the lake is running a bit above normal at 69 degrees.  Hopefully the warm weather the next week or so will keep the temps up.

2.75" of rain since Monday. The ground was pretty dry so we needed some rain, but not that much. Leaves are falling but very little color.

I've noticed the colors are definitely lacking this year.  Not sure if it's just too early still or because of the dry and hot weather recently?

Wonder if that was the waterspout reported off of Willowick around noon that day...always a fun METAR.

Anyways, it just dawned on me with the lake effect showers and waterspouts this week that as we approach September, lake effect season is just about upon us (of course, it'll be rain for the next several weeks if there is any).  With moving to Jersey and starting the job in July this summer has flown by for me.  Luckily most of the East Coast doesn't really get wintry threats quite as early as the Great Lakes can.

Same here, cant believe we're approaching fall and les season already.   It's been a nice summer, not too hot (until this week lol).   I changed jobs and now working in Chardon, so I'll get to see more of the northern events that miss home.

CLE is currently at 6.58" for July.... currently #6 wettest. Could make a run at #5 if we get more rain tonight/tomorrow. 

Incredible!  Seems the west side got more rain the past week or so, while we missed out.    Certainly has been a wet summer.

Just tallied up my spread sheets...a total of 93.5” here this winter here.  Certainly not bad, a little above average.  Would give this winter a B here, but can see how grades range from A to D across northern OH and NW PA dependent on your exact location.  After last winter’s crap fest and spending the previous 4 in SE OH, it was nice.  

And, this will be my last winter in NE OH, for a while at least.  Will be moving to New Jersey for a meteorology job in July.  It will be a reduction in annual snow, but it is in an area that can see big snows from those Nor’Easters and is in the somewhat snowier NW corner of the state which averages an ok amount.  Plus, they have clients in the OV/GL (including Cleveland) so I’m sure I’ll check in and live vicariously at times.  

109" here for the winter.  A nice change compared to the past few below avg winters.  Seemed to be a pretty consistent light to mod snow year from early Dec up until the second week of Feb.  Then of course a booming march, which was the highest snowfall total month at 39.75".  My 5 year average from measuring  (estimated ) in Newbury is at 101.2".

Congrats on the job!!  Though you'll miss the lake effect,  I'm sure experiencing a few noreasters will be awesome.  It's been great to have you in our subforum to share your forecasting and knowledge.  Make sure to stop back by!  

Right at 2" on the deck.  Probably half of that in the yard.  There were some impressive squalls earlier, especially in the northern areas  

Decent lake effect band this morning.  I've got .25-.5", but a definite increase in flake size and accumulation in Solon.  Probably an inch here.  West side appears to be doing well.

Nice. I'm out of town so missed this one. Let me know what your final measurement is. 

I'm going with 5".  I know more fell after I left, but it has since melted from my deck.  

Just shy of 5" here.  Definitely a bit of a surprise.  Now over 100" for the season. 

The storm for tomorrow night seems to be creeping northward.   Might be good for a few inches at least.

Thanks so much. Really excited, little kid on Christmas level.

Congrats!   Looks like a great spot.  Looking forward to future lake effect reports!  

Had an extremely compacted 1.75" on the deck that fell during the day.  Event total 7.75". 

2.5" yesterday evening and overnight. Running total at 6".  Pretty impressive March so far compared to the last several years. 

Had 2" fall throughout the day.  Pleasantly surprised.  The elevation definitely helped .  Running total at 3.5".

1.5" on the deck this morning. March has now become my snowiest month.  Crazy year. 

Had a strong band come through and drop 1" in 30 mins.  Including that, I had 2.25" that fell throughout the day as well.  Event total at 19".

Around 7am I measured an additional 12" since 6pm yesterday. What a nice surprise. 

 

This winter is trying to revive itself back to normal at least.  

We may tack on 2-3" more....just keeps snowing. 

Just cleared another 9" off of my deck that fell between 10pm last night and now.  Running storm total at 16.75".  Incredible. 

Everything looks good to me. Just cleared 4.5" off of the deck since the afternoon snow began. Event running total at  7.75"
