How there isn’t a thread for this storm is beyond me. Some serious snow on the models within 84 hours

While we're reminiscing let me say that this is still probably my favorite snow event ever. Masters weekend and it absolutely dumped snow, walking around at midnight to pouring snow was an unbelievable sight April 8-9 2016 Snowstorm

February 2015 was absolutely brutal. I remember as a college student struggling along in sub-zero weather to morning classes bundled up like the Michelin man. College of Business was not the shortest walk from my house back then. It was the snowiest February in Toledo history at 25" and second coldest at an average of 12 degrees.

Looks like around 3" in Ann Arbor. Pretty slushy but definitely a nice shot of snow there

Thank you! Chicago has about 20 90° days a year, how many places in the world can get both 95° temps in July and a yard of snow in the winter? Be thankful you get seasons at all

Worst stretch of weather I’ve ever seen. 5 straight days of fog

Bad idea in my opinion. It’s more simple to know there’s a Winter Weather Advisory than issuing headlines

Largest dense fog advisory in US history?

Might be time to change the avatar from the Heat Miser. Strong clippers and frozen ponds, Winter has actually arrived!

I almost think these two waves are being underplayed for the Toledo area. I think 2-4" with the energy rotating around the ULL tomorrow is a solid bet along the turnpike followed by 3-5" with such high snow ratios and a relatively strong clipper. May be best to put an advisory in place as 4-8" of fine powder over the course of 48 hours is going to be relatively impactful, especially from a blowing & drifting perspective

Glad to see I had good instincts haha! 3 was good timing, it definitely was wild to see the weird cold air solution shown by the models actually play out in real life.

Accumulations definitely at 3” here and climbing. Such a slushy snow

Where are you? I'm by the river in P-Burg/Waterville

Very heavy here as well. A bit more wind driven as well. That's brutal. Meanwhile off to the east it's pouring snow

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
