OHweather Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Occasional dustings of snow over the last 36 hours here that have struggled to stay on the ground for long during the daylight hours...running "event total" of 0.8" with less than 0.5" (so a T) on the ground at the moment. Racking it up this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some nice bursts of borderline moderate snow last evening that quickly covered anything that wasn't paved, which was nice to see...even if the good snow lasted all of 20-30 minutes where I was! I'm getting a little more optimistic we get a crack at a better pattern for a couple of weeks around the end of Jan/beginning of Feb...but it's quite possible we don't get much of anything until then. Low odds we get a little wet snow with the low pressure going by this Friday if it tracks just right I guess, but I'm not optimistic. So, we'll see if that brief period around the end of this month can deliver. I'm sure we'll get some snow, but it's been scraps so far if you don't live up towards Erie or Buffalo (not that I'd want what Buffalo has had to go through this winter).

nwohweather Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Late next week looks interesting, just a real lack of cold air for a lot of these little systems. Weird to see in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear the optimism toward the end of the month. The lack of lake effect in this area has been crazy. Can’t recall going this far into the season without a good event.

dta1984 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 1.5" here throughout the morning and day yesterday. Definitely seemed like a spring time snow vs a heart of winter snow. What a clunker so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The 12z suite have a general 3-6" across northern ohio with the late week storm. Really low confidence but that would likely be the largest storm of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground will be wet, and with marginal temps there will likely be a lot of melting to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm actually not extremely enamored with this setup...think we'll get a quick 1-3" of synoptic snow Thursday night in north-central and northeast OH. There's probably a lull of sorts early Friday between the synoptic snow and lake enhancement that will ramp up into the morning and continue through most of the day, with that activity ending Friday evening. The lake enhanced snow may be moderate for a time on Friday, especially in the hills and especially with some sort of Lake Huron connection coming into play with winds going NNW to nearly due N. Even during the lake enhancement, I think we're looking at persistent light to moderate snow, as the instability is marginal and the synoptic lift is modest...the hills/upslope will definitely help, but it'll be hard to get 1"+/hour rates out of this. With the snow rather spread out, a struggle to get heavy rates, marginal ratios and warm ground, I don't feel this will be that exciting. That said, it will snow for a while and in the hills upslope/lake enhancement will add a good amount of QPF. I actually could see us needing to up amounts a bit farther west in the hills of the secondary snowbelt...someone in northern Geauga as well as Erie Co PA could squeeze out 8" with the upslope, but it'd be over a 24-30 hour period and I think most will probably be more in the 3-6" type range in the inland primary snowbelt. Guessing we'll need some advisories tonight or early tomorrow for it...kind of hoping we don't try pushing the warning button unless things look more impressive. The "negativity" aside, it will snow and accumulate and should look nice on the trees. More sustained cold may arrive towards the end of January...or at the least, a return of more frequent transient cold shots between the 50 degree days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Seems like the models have be going back and forth with snowfall. 4-6" looks like a good bet across the lakeshore counties with more in spots. Temps are already in the upper 30's with winds out of the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Such a garbage system lol. At this point the highest terrain upslope areas may get 2-4"...maybe 5" near Chardon. The Chautauqua ridge in eastern Erie Co and Chautauqua Co may be able to get a bit more, but this is very unexciting back towards Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Picked up 2.5" last night. Nice scenery with the wet snow covering everything this morning. Looks like this will under perform with snow totals but at least it will look like winter for a couple of days. With the strong NNW'erly winds I'm surprised the snow isn't pushing farther inland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Measured 0.7” before 8am…some light accums since, probably over an inch total. It’s modest, but looks nice on the trees. Very fine flakes occasionally mixing with a bit of freezing drizzle at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest amounts will be in very localized areas. Radar seems to be blossoming a bit over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very scenic out there this morning! About the same here as well. Driving to Chardon this morning, seems like most places close to the same 2-4" eyeballing.

WHEATCENT Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It was a nice early November set up where it was too warm for anything to accumulate within a mile of the lakeshore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpbob21 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 This one underperformed even my low expectations. I was hoping for a DAB and so far I think I've seen 3 flakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The consistent light snow through last evening added another 1.5" here, so ended up a bit over 2" for the storm. It was a snow-filled day even if it wasn't all that exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedskater Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Maybe a ¼ inch near Lakewood Park. But my wife reports that it's over glare ice (and she is an ice skater). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOH Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The Sunday/Monday is becoming more interesting for the lakeshore. 5 days out so likely changes to come but the Euro and CMC are fairly similar with snowfall totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
