During that last video I took I thought to myself that I could definitely see power going out to some in the city. These aren’t even the main winds we are to get tomorrow and they are cranking right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow____ Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Have officially gone below 0 now. I feel this is the first time we’ve gone below 0 in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow____ Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 1 hour ago, StLweatherjunkie said: Yeah, I'm in Marquette. My guess is it'll end up somewhere in-between. It's just funny that hours before things start discrepancies of 1+ inches of QPF exist between models. Snow ratios are also very tricky because the soundings look good for high SLRs, but winds are gonna rip flakes apart at least along the lakeshores. These two models have potential to be the difference between 4 and 30" of snow and those kinds of gradients are a real possibility somewhere UP here so forecasting lake effect in this kind of situation is a no-win proposition. Definitely quite the difference. Hard to figure out what to do. Lake Effect is so volatile. It’s hard to figure out what’s going to happen. I hope you end up with closer to 30” than 4 more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wnwniner Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Continued snow/winds here in Columbus area. Roads are pretty bad, especially N/S roads. Starting to have issues with truck windows freezing open, salt is really starting to not work much at all, and with that wind expected to pick up, we're in for a long few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlizzardOf1978 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Stopped snowing here, 8° below zero, wind gusts up to 40 mph. Didn't get much snow out of this storm. No comparison to the blizzard of 1978! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indygirl Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) This is not what we were wanting at all, guys. At least I didn’t want this kind of thing. My Lord!! My hub is a grown ass man who was out driving tractors and pulling folks out of ditches during the ‘78 blizzard. He had a hard time getting home from work in his SUV last night. He’s forbidden me to go to work today especially since I’ve been sick. He said it is beyond, extremely dangerous outside. I’ve never….. ever ….heard him say this before. Right now we have -10….-35 wind chill. The wind is howling. Thank God we still have power. Edited December 23, 2022 by Indygirl 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Hiramite Posted December 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2022 First obs report up here. Light snow currently maaayyybbeeeee a half inch so far. Temp 21. Nope, hold on temp 20.... CLE increased snow amounts overnight for much of NE OH. I'll be happy with half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton229 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Maybe .5” here with 15 degree temps. Only thing that’s been as advertised is the wind which is howling, but nothing we haven’t seen in this area before. Big time stretch on the “historic” part of this storm for my area unless there’s some hidden tricks we have yet to see.

StLweatherjunkie Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I'll bet it's ripping snow in southwest Quebec right now ... WOW! Also, so much of the Midwest is cold enough to register as purple/blue hues intended for cloud temps 😍 Edited December 23, 2022 by StLweatherjunkie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Hiramite Posted December 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2022 7 hours ago, cloudy_jake said: My SREF plumes are close to 8 inches now for Hamilton! How accurate are these when a storm is on going? Obviously, like other modeling tools, their accuracy increases closer to "game time". Similarly, sometimes they work out great, sometimes not so great. IMO, as discussed with the model runs for this storm, the Snow-to-Liquid ratio used by the models is the wild card when looking at the model output due to the wind and bitter temps. So, in this case, the plumes numbers appear to be too high. I typically do a predicted vs actual for the locations I have on the SREF Tracker but with these winds, measuring is going to be a challenge in many areas.

Moderators Hiramite Posted December 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2022 @Jeffro I just checked out your video link. Nice quality! We can use the trash/recycling bins as a gauge of the winds maybe. They're still there as of 6:12AM, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wnwniner Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 New (to me) weather phenomenon... Its so cold and windy out, that the bushes next to the office window froze and are now blowing into the window tapping on it. At first I thought it was sleet and got real confused until I looked closer and realized what was going on. Roads remain poor-don't travel unless you must!
