Toledo total snowfall winter record 2013-2014

(Feb 24, 2014: No record yet. Here's my comment in a toledotalk.com thread.)

Chilly weather forecast for Toledo this week.

Toledo Express Airport has not recorded any snowfall, since the 4 to 5 inches of snow that we received about a week ago.

The airport still needs 0.4 inches of snow to tie its all-time Toledo winter record for snowfall, since record-keeping began. Our snowfall record is 73.1 inches, set during the 1977-78 winter.

For record-keeping, the National Weather Service tracks total snowfall since July 1. As of yesterday, Feb 23, 2014, our current total is 72.7 inches.

Toledo's average total snowfall by the Feb 23 date is 29.1 inches. Toledo averages 37.6 inches of snowfall between July 1 and July 1.

The meteorological winter is defined by December 1 through February 28/29. I thought that the "winter" snow record was defined by these parameters, but it's not. Good thing, because it's forecast to be mostly dry through Fri, Feb 28.

If we're going to have this much snow, may as well set a record. If we don't get much snow during the final week of February, no big deal. We still have March, April, May, and June to receive a half inch of snow.

The best chance for snow this week is tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight: A chance of snow showers, mainly after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 10. Wind chill values as low as -1. West wind 7 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Tuesday: A chance of snow showers, mainly before 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 23. Wind chill values as low as -2. West wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

When the record finally breaks, celebrate accordingly by drinking a beverage or pushing someone down, depending upon your mood at this point.
