Rippage

Man am I a genius or what?

NWS Cleveland needs to get WWA's up ASAP. The snow is far more entrenched along the lines of what the GFS showed than what they predicted. Tough call, but I think 3-4" is capable. It's definitely extremely wet, heavy snow

I think 2-4" for NW Ohio looks pretty reasonable... At 119 PM EST, radar indicated wet snow moving north into the Toledo metro area. HAZARDS INCLUDE... Visibility dropping to less than three quarters of a mile... Up to 2 inches of quick snow accumulation through 5 PM... Locations impacted include... Toledo, Swanton, Perrysburg, Oregon, Sylvania, Rossford, Waterville, Northwood, Whitehouse, Genoa, Holland, Maumee, Ottawa Hills, Walbridge, Millbury, Haskins, Grand Rapids, Tontogany, Clay Center, and Berkey. Heavy, wet snow at the moment with visibilities below a quarter of a mile. I think that 2" amount will be exceeded in spots, especially west of Toledo

Absolutely ripping snow at my house SW of Toledo. Radar returns of rain are inaccurate

Yes

Lightning just caught on the weather channel live! That was awesome

Ice fog levels of cold

This keeps trending towards something more substantial for Toledo

I’m gonna go with 2-4” for everywhere west of I-75 with 1-2” east of it here in Toledo. I can’t imagine how bad conditions will be in the heart of this storm, absolutely paralyzing to get those winds with this level of snow

Should’ve changed into January gale or white hurricane like the old newspaper articles

Unreal runs on the GFS... Almost 24 hours out and it's showing 0" essentially on the Euro & 4-6" on the GFS for Toledo. This is insane

What in the world...

Pretty good agreement on the models here today. Can't say it any different, that's a historic blizzard for this weekend.

Tomorrow evening is when the picture becomes much clearer. Sampling occurs, the current system moves out and the NAM comes into play. Patience folks

Barometer at home officially at 28.90. Can’t say I’ve seen it this low much in my life

So often you see the heaviest snows trend more towards the IN border counties west of I-75. We will see here but with mixing it wouldn’t shock me to see Toledo proper shafted a bit

Hell of a storm for Toledo on deck, one of the best I've ever seen if it pans out on the GFS.

A little out of area, but a PDS Severe T-Storm Warning is in effect for Charleston, SC due to 70-80 MPH winds. A string of warnings in effect from Richmond, VA to Tampa, FL. Just a truly dynamic storm system on display here in the CONUS today

Huh? I’m south of Toledo and it’s ripping snow! On a side note, there is a hell of a hook on a supercell just NE of PCB. At the moment SRH values in AL/FL are between 400-800. Going to be a hell of a weather day in the US today

Sub 970 is just wild inside of 100 hours. When is the last time in winter this has even occurred?

What has the total snowfall been up there this season? I’m up there sometimes for work (in the quarrying industry) and it’s usually a damn tundra this time of year

When was the last major one? Usually, not always these tend to go west

To me it's starting to look like a classic Panhandle Hook, especially with that track. I can't think off the top of my head very many times we've cashed in on these systems, Chicago can though

Bingo. It’s one thing that really jumps off the page to me with the guidance thru hour 144, these are some rather impressive SLP’s from a pure barometric standpoint. What I’m curious about is why are we seeing such strength? Typically we see 995ish storms with 6-10” in its strongest swath, not very deep cyclones
