Misery doesn't even begin to describe this April.  

Trying to find something good to say.  The only thing I can think of is that when it does hit 50 or above it almost feels like its 75, (as long as the sun is out).

I hope to God this isn't a foreshadowing of the summer.  Nothing worse than fireworks with a chilly breeze and a hoodie.

Screw zone in the middle notwithstanding, last night's Euro was even more impressive, especially with how widespread and far south it has snow.  This would be a decent looking map for the middle of winter but it's just silly heading into April.  Probably not actually going to see such widespread snow... or let's just say it would be getting into rare territory.

 

The 240 hr 12z euro snowfall map is the snowiest 10 day period the euro has shown for Ohio all winter long....and it's not even winter anymore.   Unreal.  

I don't understand the current advisories up for the region. Advisories and warnings were dropped for the east, but remain in place for Cuyahoga which has seen 0-2" of snow the past 24 hours.

It's still amazing to me that Cleveland is pushing 10.5 months without a plowable snowfall. I'm sure there were quite a few who plow driveways on the side that thought for sure they'd get their first jobs of the season last night. But here we are at day 309 without any real snow.

yep.  Insult to injury even down here.  I know a lot of hungry site maintenance contractors down here who were thinking they'd at least have their first salting event this morning and the rug was pulled out on them.

It's an amazing futility stretch we are in....and I'm even more surprised what you guys in Cleveland have been dealing with.

Yeah, I really doubt CLE's 1"-less streak ends today at this point. It's bound to end soon with a cold pattern coming up and an unfrozen lake, but this event really didn't do well.

Down here far from the lakes it was also a total failure, nothing like many of the models were showing.   Not that we were supposed to get clocked, but enough to whiten the ground or at least dust the car tops seemed almost a sure thing.   Could this be a result of this air mass not really being that cold, (relatively speaking)?   I see it's upper 20's through most of the state.  Usually when you see the best squalls and snowshowers reaching all the way down this way, it's with a significant arctic frontal passage with temps falling into the teens.

DT essentially cancelled winter fwiw. Sees a pattern change to warmer and nothing to change that in the long range thru early/mid Feb.

gonna be interesting to see what happens.  JB this morning is all about extreme cold coming in after a short moderation.  Seem to imply that if snow gets laid down, places like Chicago-NY will see the coldest temps of the winter during this period and this cold locks in thru Feb.

Did DT bail too early OR is JB just being JB?....   stay tuned!  

interesting write up. I'm surprised to learn the models had actually backed away. I was always under the impression that it was a nowcast bust. I've read a lot of posts over the years where people said they went to bed expecting x,y.z and woke up to nada.
