Added about 4.8" here from the storm over the weekend here in Reminderville, and measured a 16-17" snow pack in various undrifted spots last night. The top 6" was still rather fluffy while the bottom 10" was very dense. No way we loose much of that with the brief warm up coming. There was noticeably more snow pack in Chagrin yesterday afternoon too.

Looks like a mix to rain scenario tomorrow. It's possible there's a little lake effect Wednesday night into Thursday if some open water can appear on the lake with a light WNW flow and decently cold 850mb temps. But other than that looks like my week here will be relatively boring weather-wise.

Ya the rain and warmer temps are looking more tame than they once were.

Still could get fringed with a few inches from the southern system on Thurs. Though...I'd rather a big dog or nothing at this point.

Rather unimpressive event here. 3.5" total. Only had a few bursts of heavier snow, otherwise mostly showery. Depth is now 19".

CLE issued a watch for 6-10". Seems bullish but we'll see. BUF's onboard so confidence must be high,

Ya I thought that was a little over zealous as well. Should be a lower ratio snow to add to the current glacier. I'd be curious what the water content in our snowpack is. Has to be above 2".

Going to be another cold night. Was -3 on the way home earlier.

I'm rooting for a warm and rainy cutter next week... the snow has to melt at some point. We could do without flooding, but I think that is inevitable given the snow pack. The snow is so dense and deep it is difficult to walk around in it. I must be getting old but I'm done with winter.

I tend to agree. After Sunday we will probably be approaching 110" for the year. Definitely has been a great year. I was more referring to soaking rains causing rapid snow melt and flooding. Would rather it be a slower process.

Pretty good consensus on another 4-6 snowfall on Sunday. Next week looks active. Would really prefer no soaking rain though..

How low did you record Neoh? I saw -20 on the phone this morning (I really need to get a good gauge lol).

Wow that's awesome! Yaa break that ice up lol!

Picked up 2.25" yesterday evening and overnight. Nice surprise considering cle only had a half inch in the forecast.

Ya it does. Have had light snow most of the afternoon, but rates are definitely picking up now.

Ended up with 4.25". My last measurement came later, so there was probably some compaction. Definitely a lower ratio snow on top. Average depth is around 16.5". It's been an impressive strech,and doesn't look to let up anytime soon.

Looks like the dry slot finally filled in. Steady light snow for the last hour or so.

A little over 2" so far. Hopefully the radar fills in more. Still more to come out west.

My weather station read -22 this morning. We'll see what today's model runs bring... but I'm guessing that we'll see a solid 4-6" snowfall.

Ya I think we are in a good spot for this storm. We should stay all snow, and a bump or two north shouldn't hurt too much.

I saw -23 here on wunderground when I got up this morning.

I see ohweather is in the bullseye of the new nam lol. Good luck!

Narrow lake band going with decent flake size for being 1 degree.

Trends for the weekend storm have been positive for us. Positive is a relative term though. Even if the storm ends up being weak and southeast, it's much better than torching into the 40s with an inch of rain as a strong low passes to our north and west.

By keeping this storm to our southeast we also keep temperatures down enough to keep the coldest February on record in play.

We should be able to break today's record low at 11:59pm and tomorrow's looks like a lock. That would be 5 record lows this week.

Picked up around 2" last night. Nice surprise.

I came in at 2.5", but that would include whatever fell during the day yesterday too.

You don't even need to read the storm threads to figure out trends. If the the main thread has little or no new posts after the latest models, it means there was a nice hit for Ohio. If the thread has lots of new posts after a model run, it means it has trended NW.

Nice snowfall this afternoon. Enough to freshen things up.

Seasonal snowfall is at 90.1". Looks like we are almost identical. Haven't been out to measure depth but I'd assume we are close. Yep, some light snows this week with bigger potential over the weekend. I'm almost ready to waive the white flag and say let's get a big one, then move on to a warm/dry March.

Weekend still looking good, but not sure how I feel about being in the bullseye (gfs) this far out.

Edit; the key is if Trent is optimistic! He was optimistic for last weekend and it turned out great! Lol.

I'd trade record low temps for snowfall amounts any day. This cold is ridiculous.

Totally agree! Not sure that we had a stretch last winter of below 0 temps as what we will have this week...could be wrong though.

Looks like a few chances for light snow the rest of the week, and then another hopefully more substantial system over the weekend.

Neoh, when you get a chance, what's your snowfall so far? Seems like I just crossed 90" recently. Took a few depth measurements yesterday of about 14". Turned out to be a good winter after the horrid December. Imagine if December had at least been normal ..

I saw a couple personal weather stations in interior NE Ohio dip below -30. Quite a few spots in the -20s.

The -12 at CLE was the 5th coldest February temperature on record and only one day has been colder than that later in the season.

I'm curious how much open water and cracks will appear on Lake Erie with some shifting winds. The Modis image yesterday showed most gaps filled in.

Ya the Newbury station on wunderground read -24 at 7am. Seems a little cool compared to the others nearby.

Ohweather...good luck with the snow today! Looks like a monster on radar.

Might be a few chances for light snow here this week.

Extremely hard to measure. Best guess is an additional 3.5" since last measurement. Total so far 6.75".

Is it normal for the wind chill warning to be for snow amounts too? They have 4-8" in the warning.

They sky just opened up! Heavy snow with huge flakes.

3.25" as of 930am. Arctic front is getting close. Should be a fun show!
