So far Toledo has received 2.5" of rain this month and 1.3" of snow. Haha what a January

That lake temp in the western basin has dropped off pretty nice into the 40s now. Still can't believe it's close to 60 in the two deep spots of Lake Erie. Just a very long and mild growing season

I disagree. While it was pretty humid in those later months, May-mid July was actually a terrific dry heat. Wasn't until late July that the major humidity kicked in

Yes I had a big one fall at my house and about 10,000 were without power

Now at 5" of snow here in Bowling Green Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Currently getting snow flurries off Lake Erie. So so rare for NW Ohio to get LE but it looks like even an inch will fall over towards Port Clinton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lot of accidents out here in NW Ohio. The fog was so bad in town in BG I could only see one stoplight at a time

You should see it out here bud. To see almost every river except the Blanchard hitting a Major flood stage with top 10 all time crests in June is crazy to see. These fields with poor drainage have essentially turned into lakes with many farmers losing quite a bit of crop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah April was nuts as far as lack of rain but we have received quite a bit this week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Officially hit 91 here south of Toledo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing quite like being sunburnt still and it being 40 out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the 6-10" prediction with maybe a little leeway for higher totals. Either way double digit snowfalls in the wide open region of NW Ohio will equal the area being crippled for a few days

To add to that on my buddy's pond that we play hockey on we went from no ice two weeks ago to now almost a foot thick

Chinook my dad works right by there and his car was reading -10 so I do believe it

As an aspiring emergency manager I like your comments. I'll admit I think meteorologists need to be more up front about tornadoes as well. Every warning says "strong rotation" when clearly it's obvious the difference between a baby couplet and a large mesocyclone in an atmosphere ripe for violent twisters. I also know you're worry for all storm warnings. Right after a nearby community in 2010 was hit by an EF4 it was unreal how many calls and texts and tweets I would get about an approaching basic severe thunderstorm. One buddy of mine went to the basement! It's crazy how gunshy people are of the weather after a major tornado rips through. I mean just this year the skywarn meeting in that county had 250 people attend, that's insane for a very rural county

The damage in Phil Campbell was scary. This picture legit scared me the first time I saw it. The thing is despite all of our warnings what do you do when an EF-4 or 5 is barreling down on you? People were being sucked out of basements even

Probably the best prediction I've ever made right here, a week out. Hopefully we don't get into another one of these patterns but with May coming soon who knows. I'll admit I never thought we'd see another Super Outbreak again. It was just jaw dropping to watch this on the radar and tv. The tornadoes produced by this one were unreal in strength. To see the horizontal vortices on almost every twister, and the shear size and speed that they were all moving and spinning was just incredible

I've thought the same thing about majoring in it. That's why I'm majoring in Journalism and getting a minor in Meteorology

I'd say winds were about 110 mph in that scene. Thing thats kinda cool is the complete 180 of the winds in the video

I believe that's what is being sent in and 1400 troops have been mobilized

Yeah it's really incredible to see the dynamics and instability it takes to make a monster like that in a spread of 1000 miles. That's something that might not be seen again

I'd say this looks like a EF5. I've seen tornado damage from an EF4 twice and I don't believe it was quite as severe as what this was. Still there basically is little difference between the two

Yes you are very correct about these monster tornadoes. Last year I was trying to get home when an EF-4 was barreling around me at midnight and it was the most wild thing ever. Even though the storm consistently moved to the ENE the tornado itself traveled like a curveball and almost took me out if I wouldn't have seen the trees around me change direction wind wise. Tornadoes like these are almost indescribeable in person

For Ohio I will say a very similar dynamic setup to the November 10, 2002 setup. Very similar
