This looks significant around Tiffin

tornado warning 2 counties south of Fort Wayne. Most indicators say 2"-3" hail

Tornado Watch up for most of Ohio and Indiana. I don't hate the dynamics at play for sure

That atmosphere is really recovering here today

If there were more legitimate instability right now, that line in Indiana would really be making some hay

Pretty awesome radar signature out in Kansas 

Looks like they have. This looks like some serious rotation near Alta Vista, KS:

To be fair, there were some seriously snowy Winters in the 70s and 80s that skew this a bit. Heck the 1970's were so chilly there was some debate of global warming vs global cooling, even though the WMO was team global warming (which ended up being true)

I wonder if we will green up further with the rain last night, I am noticing lawns are starting to green which is very early, probably almost a month early at this point.

Hard to not declare Winter finished with at this point

Small tornado today around Findlay, OH

Sheesh, mid 70's on March 4th is a heck of a way to kick off Spring. 

I remember reading and researching climate change/global warming as a kid.  The one thing that has stuck with me was the talk of drastic/wild temperature swings much like we are seeing.  Is it really even a debate anymore?? I think the wild extremists that talked of oceans rising 10ft and ridiculous temps muddled the waters and created a bunch of skeptics and conspiracy theorists.  Which are now grown adults with  very loud Social Media speakers..
Probably the wrong thread but Winter's is over for the foreseeable future.  

Lapse rates are no joke with this system. Some of the hail could be the largest we’ve seen in quite some time around here

Finally, getting ready for the season that’s actually fun, severe weather

This winter sucks. 

2019-20 we had a neutral and it was also warm. 

Can't agree here. It'd be nice to see more legitimate snow chances, but it's been very sunny which is certainly a welcome change to the brutal harshness winter can have. Warm & cloudy would be absolutely brutal, I'm glad we've avoided that

35 dbz on radar. This was a steve snow. Blinding heavy snow followed promptly by melting. It's nearly all gone now.

Heavy snow here as well. The flakes look like someone ripped feathers out of a pillow they're so thick. I didn't expect the grass to be covered today, nice little surprise

Just a complete graupel attack here right now

You people need to lighten up a bit. Sure snowstorms are fun, but this sunshine has been very nice over the past few weeks and in December

Brutal back to back misses for Toledo per the models. Also, anyone notice that system in the Atlantic towards hour 170? Looks a bit like a warm core system to me

Well there is always March right  

00z GFS is more bullish.

Unlike the 00z Euro and 06z NAM that are more South and a bit conservative

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

If you truly don't recall GHDII, Feb 1-2, 2015, SMH lol. It was a fantastic storm and the 16.7" of snow at DTW made it the largest storm since 1974. It's my favorite storm.

 

It's easy to get lost in the shadow of the 2013-14 winter, but the 2015 storm was incredible.

 

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.
