Wrf nmm parks the Huron band in far eastern cuyh and western Geauga. Spots of 1-1.25" qpf.

I've got between 2.5-4" measuring off of my deck.  Alot of blowing, drifting.   Have to see what NEOH comes in with.

CLE has expanded the 12-18" storm totals.  Last night, the shading was for northern Geauga county & Erie county PA.  Earlier today, the western edge of the 12-18 just touched the Cuyahoga/Geauga line, but covered the Primary belt east into PA.

Now...

Noticed that too.  They are sticking to their amounts and increasing some areas.  12z Wrfs look good still.

Based on the radar from Milwaukee, the lake effect/enhanced snow in Wisconsin seems to be doing well. Hopefully that bodes well for Northern Ohio tomorrow. 

Ya saw the 9.5" report at the Milwaukee airport in the other thread.  While the radar doesn't look the greatest, it should improve.  

Good analysis ohweather!   Looks like this morning 3k nam has higher qpf along 271 in eastern cuyh from the Huron band.  

Should be a fun few days.  

Updated CLE snow map has a broad area of 12-18".  Very similar to OHweather's map.

Should be a good storm for us.  Still curious how the lake effect and enhancement plays out.  I'm guessing that will be the majority of accumulations?  With the cold temps the past few days, the snow should have no problem accumulating.

Models kept waffling back and forth south of I-80. It looked like a last minute whiff, but my parents in Youngstown picked up a nice 4". 

Good pic!  Late season plasters always make for good pics. 

Speaking of plasters ....GFS continues to tease us lol.  

1" on the deck here.  The GFS sure looks good for next week.   Wish it had more support though.

After quite a bit of waffling the past few days, it seems the 12z guidance is once again south for the snow tonight. I think we'll be lucky to get a half inch at this point. 

Yep, really looking minor.  Looks like we'll be below freezing for several days, hopefully can get a good snow at some point.  Early week still looking good.  Wonder if there's some lake effect too?

Bad combo of wet soil and high winds today. Lot's of tree's down... lost one large tree imby already.

Hope there wasn't any damage.   Definitely alot of trees and trees down.  Just some smaller limbs for me.  Power went off and on a few times.  Kind of puzzling we weren't under a high wind warning.   The duration and frequency of the gusts were pretty incredible.   Probably didn't quite meet the sustained criteria .  Saw that Youngstown had a 70 mpH gust though!

Tomorrow night's snow is looking interesting on a few of the high res models. Perhaps we can score a last minute over performer? Or this could just as easily be a complete whiff for the region. 

Ya the short range nams look like 2-4 easily.  Early next week is interesting too....but too early. 

Both late week and weekend systems havery trended south.  Hopefully being on the northern edge works in our favor.  

Next weekend is starting to look interesting.   Still too early though.  Liking the active march so far.  

Looks like 7" storm total here measuring off of my deck.  Probably not even half of that on my driveway.

7" here and still snowing very hard!!

Wow cograts!  Depending what develops behind this band, I wonder if we see 10-12" totals somewhere?   These overachievers are the best.  

Extremely heavy snow driving through chagrin falls this morning.   

4.5" here and heavy snow.

Didn't get a chance to measure,  but I'd guess .5" fell overnight.

Yep. CLE is running close to a 100" snowfall deficit the past 5 years or so. 

Yikes, I didn't realize it was that substantial. 

Another pretty good thunderstorm this morning.   Lost power overnight as well.  Saw there was even a tornado warning out, but haven't heard of any confirmations.

Seems that the moment you moved to Ohio, LES has been way down and warmth way up.

Depends where you're talking about.   Some areas of the snowbelt have done well, others not so much the past 2 years.  

Ended up with 2" overnight.   Quite the change from 70s and storms to accumulating snow.  

72 out right now.  The length and intensity of the warm spells this winter have been incredible.   

Looking more and more likely I'll finish this year with less snow than last year. Who would have guessed that ?  Only the northern portion of the snowbelt has been anywhere close to average. 

This weekend was very reminiscent of a late March or early April weekend.  Motorcycles,  convertibles,  bicycles, runners all out.  If only there had been a little rain to wash the salt off the roads.
