Looking forward to more snow chances coming up. It's been a boring start to winter.
Getting some light flurries now. Just came back from Chardon and there was a dusting- .5" there.
I measured 3" just before the snow was winding down. Driving up 306, most seemed to be near that amount until you get near route 6. There was probably 5-6 there. Then it tapered off when I got into mentor with 2-3" here, but still snowing.
Nice surprise, a few quick measurements came up with 2". Finally looking like winter! Radar looks decent, almost has a NW flow orientation to the bands.
Good disco Ohweather. I'm rooting for more of a northerly wind component lol. I'll be in mentor tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to see a little of the action.
Good description of the event Trent! Even the areas outside of downtown were at a standstill (though nothing like downtown) . My 10 mile commute on 271 took an hour.
I remember the rates and time period being really crazy. The 10" or so fell in the span of 4-5 hours.
Looks like today is the anniversary of the surprise rush hour lake effect gridlock squall downtown. That early December was probably the best stretch of lake effect I've seen since I've lived up here. Several feet of snow piled up that week.

Ya I'm curious about the 3" chardon report as well. Though I should clarify, the 1" I measured was on the deck. The grass was definitely less.
Ohweather.....what webcam do you use for chardon? The one I used to use on wunderground doesn't appear to be active anymore.
Lake looking good. I just need 1" to be ahead of last December, so I'll keep the bar low lol. Although we did have a rocking Nov last year which made it easier to take.
Happy thanksgiving all! Yep, very nice day outside today. Something we haven't had the past few thanksgivings. Still upper 50s out now. Keep that lake warm for the next cold blast.
