What do you get when you combine a vampire and a snowman? FROSTBITE! 42 minutes ago, RobB said: Snow plows throwing that on the apron of the driveway is so frustrating. I've thought of parking my car in front of the drive way many times 🙂 Pro tip from the guy who is in charge of the plow crews.... If you car is parked there, it will get plowed in, then when you get it out and move it, we'll be back to clean up and plow your driveway in. Instead, clear out 15 to 20 feet in front of your driveway in the direction of travel, and then the plow blade will be empty when it comes in front of your driveway.

Almost like shoveling clay. 😄I made the mistake of shoveling only once at 4PM when that lull hit. I was at home all day and had a deadline to meet with a project. So when I went out at 1 to shovel a path to the mailbox I was like “Eh, it’s a little heavy, but it could wait.” I was wrong. But my wife and I just bought a house with a 240 sq. Ft driveway so I quickly knew how much I screwed up! Going to buy a snowblower before next winter ———————————————————— Light snow showers when I woke up at 7:30 this morning. Light dusting on the driveway already. Some sporadic showers since then not really accumulation to it. Maybe .25-.5” since then. It really helps to whiten and blanket all of the snow piles we shoveled yesterday. Edited January 26, 2023 by NWOhioChaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't matter because not everyone else did it. I could see that working if the whole neighborhood did it for sure. Awesome post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was spot on with last storm. Still have a heart-on (teehee) for him since he was the first forecaster to teach me about baroclinic zones. Wonder how they will impact Sundays storms since heaviest banding from yesterdays storm was Ft. Wayne to SEMI. Also getting some really scenic lake effect bands today. Keeps it up then for sure we’ll see an inch on top on present snow. REALLY want to hear from those along the lakeshore from Sandusky along to Mentor. They have to be at least getting 1”/hr rates with those bands. Edited January 26, 2023 by NWOhioChaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then had the pleasure of shoveling the heavy mess the plow left at the bottom of the driveway this morning. Since I got the 2 stage about 4 years ago this was the most that machine has struggled with ANY snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncinthenext3 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 So, sorry if I'm confused.....I'm seeing potential for a Tuesday night into Wed event for the 31-st to 1st time frame. Is this the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pghsnow Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I seem to be nicely in the squall line. This looks like the area the NAM 3k had yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 This is what it's being currently thought of right now. Monday and Tuesday (30th and 31st): Ice Storm Wednesday (February 1st): Sleet Storm Thursday and Friday (2nd and 3rd): Snow Storm Next week is going to be wild, this is the "Triplets of Terror". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now, you're not missing anything. in the long range, the upcoming time frame (this weekend thru next weekend) looked extremely interesting...but now that we are just about there, things look pretty bland/weak sauce. Hopefully, we get some amplification with one of these disturbances. It would be a shame to let the next 7+ days go to waste. Personally, I think models are struggling with the various impulses riding along the boundary early/middle next week. Hopefully, something can pop for our region. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is for today's snow showers/squalls...tomorrow's weak clipper & the Sunday light rain/snow event... If you're looking for something more significant, it appears that Feb. 3-4 might be something to look forward to in our region (if we can't get something to pop during the middle of next week).

easton229 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Pretty good jump south on both the 12k and 3k NAM for Saturday into Sunday. 3K keeps the rain/snow line at the MI border while 12k brings it all the way up to northern Oakland county. Either way, the NAM took a step towards the global models which show the more southern setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every once in awhile something will surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the teleconnections and not the surface energy, the potential is there. No one is wishcasting anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
