Toledo Weather - Wed, Feb 5, 2014 h2. Measurements: In West Toledo, it was not snowing at 6:30 p.m. yesterday, Tue, Feb 4, 2014. I noticed light snow falling at 7:27 p.m. By then, a dusting of snow had accumulated. I'm guessing that the snow began in West Toledo around 7:00 p.m. Light snow continued throughout the evening. The intense snowfall probably began around 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. on Wed, Feb 5. Snow fell at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour for at least three hours. I measured nearly 3 inches that fell over a 90-minute period, between 7:10 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. +Incremental snowfall Measurements+ * 11:45 p.m. Tue, Feb 4 : 1.0 inches * 7:10 a.m. Wed, Feb 5 : 3.25 inches * 8:40 a.m. : 2.75 to 3.0 inches (rounded down in case some blowing) * 11:25 a.m. : 1.5 inches * 1:36 p.m. : 0.5 inches ** Grand Total : 9.0 inches Snow ended by 1:30 p.m. h2. Morning info I got up at 7:09 a.m, looked out the window at top of the steps, and saw a junco near our neighbor's garage door. In our backyard, at least a dozen juncos tried in vain to find food. I knew the juncos would be in major panic mode because of the nighttime snowfall, and when that happens, they arrive earlier than normal, but I did not expect them to already be in the yard prior to 7:10 a.m. I needed to be outside at least 15 minutes earlier. I dressed quickly and bolted outside. I first measured the snowfall. At 7:10 a.m., I measured 3.25 inches of new snow that fell since just before Midnight. That gave a total of 4.25 inches of snow from this system, since the snow began around 7:00 p.m. last evening. The snow intensity at 7:10 a.m. was at least heavy. It really poured. I shoveled snow as fast as I could, clearing paths and feeding areas for the ground birds. I scattered millet, whole kernel corn for the squirrels, and a little cracked corn. Yesterday afternoon, I topped off the two small thistle socks and the snowman cage, which contains sunflower oilers. I was back inside at 7:24 a.m. At 7:30 a.m., I counted at least 50 SCJU in our backyard at all the shoveled feeding areas. Also present were a few juncos and at least two cardinals. Report at 7:37 a.m.: * at least 40 SCJU * 10 to 12 AMGO * snow intensity is at least mod-hvy Tough to see the thistle socks because of the low light because of the snow intensity, I think. 7:41 a.m.: Fox Squirrel now in the backyard. hr. !http://toledotalk.com/weather/images/mcd0075.gif! md 0075 concerning heavy snow for far ne ind...sern lower mi and far nw oh mesoscale discussion 0075 nws storm prediction center norman ok 0439 am cst wed feb 05 2014 areas affected...far ne ind...sern lower mi and far nw oh concerning...heavy snow valid 051039z - 051445z summary...heavy snowfall will likely continue across nrn ind...developing newd across sern lower mi over the next few hours. snowfall rates should approach 1 inch per hour in the more intense bands. discussion...latest water vapor imagery shows an upper-level low over the upper ms valley with a powerful 100 to 120 kt mid-level jet streak extending newd from the mid ms valley into the upper oh valley. lift is being enhanced in the left exit region of the mid-level jet over nrn ind and srn lower mi where a swath of precipitation is ongoing. in addition...low-level easterly flow is maximized across nrn ind and srn lower mi on the north side of a low in the oh valley. this speed max is likely enhancing isentropic lift and will aid the development of heavy snow. as the swath of snowfall moves newd this morning...snowfall rates will likely approach 1 inch per hour in srn lower mi enewd to near detroit over the next 2 to 4 hours. ..broyles.. 02/05/2014 ...please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... attn...wfo...cle...dtx...iwx...grr... lat...lon 41898318 41138480 41328539 42028563 42768510 43228289 42718254 42298269 41898318 hr. urgent - winter weather message national weather service cleveland oh 321 am est wed feb 5 2014 ohz003-006>009-017>019-027>030-036-037-047-051630- /o.con.kcle.ws.w.0003.000000t0000z-140205t2200z/ lucas-wood-ottawa-sandusky-erie oh-hancock-seneca-huron-wyandot- crawford-richland-ashland-marion-morrow-knox- including the cities of...toledo...bowling green...port clinton... fremont...sandusky...findlay...tiffin...norwalk... upper sandusky...carey...bucyrus...mansfield...ashland...marion... mount gilead...mount vernon 321 am est wed feb 5 2014 ...winter storm warning remains in effect until 5 pm est this afternoon... * accumulations...additional 1 to 3 inches. * timing...areas of moderate snow through noon tapering to flurries by late afternoon. * winds...north 10 to 20 mph with gust to 25 mph. * temperatures...will range from the low to mid 20s. * visibilities...occasionally dropping to a quarter of a mile. * impacts...snow covered roads will make driving slow and hazardous. some blowing and drifting of snow could make travel difficult...especially on east to west oriented roads. precautionary/preparedness actions... you should use extreme caution if travel is unavoidable. stay tuned to noaa weather radio or your favorite weather source for further details or updates from the national weather service. hr.

virginia will move northeast off the new england coast by this evening. high pressure over the northern plains will build up the ohio valley thursday and friday then lift north into canada saturday to allow a low to move across the southeast sunday. high pressure from the northern plains again spreads over the ohio valley monday into tuesday. && near term /until 6 pm wednesday evening/... dry slot has attempted to punch into the area. however...forcing from upper system moving into the area and jet max is providing good lift. this is causing bands of snow/mixed precip to develop over and just sw of the cwa and as the bands move nne the precip fills in to become widespread. this area of upward energy will work ene across the lake erie area through noon. expect to see locally heavy bursts of snow that can drop an inch or so of accumulation in an hour. due to the patchy nature of the heavier bands overall accumulation into early afternoon can vary from only an inch to locally 4 inches of new snowfall. thus keeping the winter storm warning going seems warranted. the areas further to the south that get the lesser amounts of snow accumulation will be the area that sees the most sleet and fzra. as colder air is drawn se into the area the rest of the morning...where the sleet and fzra has been occurring over the se half of the area...the precip should change back to all snow. ne winds turning north at about 15 to 20 mph with gusts of 25 mph may also add some blowing and drifting to the snow. && short term /6 pm wednesday evening through saturday night/... drier air around 850 mb gets pulled se over much of the area tonight and should help to lessen the snow potential to sct snow showers over mainly the snowbelt area. will stay with ongoing forecast of an inch or less of additional accumulation. as the leading part of the next batch of arctic air is pulled down into the area...lows tonight should drop into the single digits for most places. weak upper energy slowly works across the lakes to near leri by early fri. at the same time...high pressure at the surface will be building into oh from the west. could see some nuisance lake effect shsn linger thu into thu night in the snowbelt...especially for erie co pa but think any accumulation will be light. the latest models runs don't appear to have the high getting far enough out of the area for good moisture to return until daytime sat so will back down pops later fri night then ramp up the pops sat into sat night for the next system. it looks like the next system will end up being more of an east coast problem so think the snowfall here will be relatively light...influenced mainly by the dynamics of the upper trough versus the dynamics of the surface low. with the arctic air in place...temps will stay well below normal thru fri night with some moderation to be a little closer to normal for sat. the coldest temps look to occur thu night with readings around zero for most of the area...with the west more likely to have lows a little below zero versus the east. wind chill readings thu night will likely drop into a 10 to 20 below zero range for much of the area so a wind chill advisory will eventually be needed. && long term /sunday through tuesday/... long term begins sunday with both the gfs and ecmwf showing a short wave trof across the lower great lakes region with a surface low moving through the upper ohio valley. sided with the higher ops of the gfsmos guidance with 40 to 50 pops west to east across the area vs the lower hpc guidance. monday the short wave and most of the moisture is gone. at the surface high pressure will be building across the western lakes...upper midwest and ohio valley. will hold onto a low chance pop for the snowbelt for anything off the lake but for the rest of the area will go dry. tuesday high pressure will continue across the area. models point to moisture either south or southwest of the area however given the high will continue dry and allow for a little sun as well. wednesday models show an upper trof developing across the nations mid section with high pressure east of the region. feeling wednesday may be a transition day toward increasing clouds and pops but for now will go with slight chance pops and a mix of clouds and sun. && aviation /06z wednesday through sunday/... the snow will taper off wednesday morning from southwest to northeast as the surface lows begins to shift east. it will be difficult to time the back edge of the snow as it gets over taken by the dry slot wednesday morning as there will likely be some convective redevelopment until the deeper moisture and upward motion is totally east. still think there will be enough warm air aloft that some sleet or even freezing rain/freezing drizzle possible at kcak and kyng wednesday morning. the east northeast wind will come around to the north and northwest and some blowing snow will continue until late. ifr visibilities will likely linger

morning and then coming to and end by mid afternoon. ceiling and visibility will become vfr toward sunset under moderate northwest wind which will persist through sunrise thursday, although ceiling below 5000 feet is likely by mid thursday morning. for dtw... a burst of snow between 12z and 15z will produce an additional 1-2 inches of accumulation before diminishing for total accumulation of 3 to 5 inches from last evening through noon today. gusty north winds will also contribute to some blowing and drifting. //dtw threshold threats... * high confidence in ceiling below 5000 feet today. * high confidence in snow as precipitation type. * high confidence in 1/2sm visibility during peak of snowfall. && prev discussion...issued 351 am est wed feb 5 2014 short term... today and tonight the winter weather advisory will remain in effect through the morning considering the highest snowfall rates of the system so far will be ongoing during the morning commute. overall, not too much change in total accumulation outside of some shuffling among time periods and about an extra inch added through saginaw, tuscola, and sanilac counties before the snow diminishes around noon. after somewhat of a slow start and some dry slot disruption, the deformation zone of the system will take over for the rest of the event. satellite imagery and radar composite indicate a healthy amount of texture to the clouds and snow pattern along the interior edge of the mid level deformation zone. this is indicative of elevated instability that shows up better in the 00z model data and forecast soundings compared to earlier runs. that area of enhanced lift is also producing results in observed liquid equivalent precip in iowa, missouri, and illinois where 00z-06z totals of 0.1-0.2 were common with a peak near 0.3. these results are handled best by the gfs which calls for about an additional 0.25-0.30 over our advisory area as the deformation zone moves directly over se michigan, although the other models are in the neighborhood. microphysical properties might be a touch better in the new forecast sounding depictions but snow ratio remains a limiting factor for accumulation with sounding derived numbers at 8-10:1 through the morning. the difference is that the deformation zone forcing and lift is turning out to be on the stronger side of expectations and the dgz is deeper than in earlier forecast runs, so accumulation is leaned toward a slightly higher 10-12:1 ratio. the result will be a 3-5 inch total across the advisory area, and 2-4 to the north through the tri cities and thumb, with the main burst occurring during the peak of the morning commute. there will also be just enough gust component to the northerly wind to notice some added blowing and drifting. light snow may linger into the early afternoon but the pattern will diminish considerably compared to the morning hours. this will be primarily due to subsidence/short wave ridging on the heels of the mid level wave as the system rapidly translates to the atlantic coast by mid afternoon. dry conditions at that point will extend through tonight with a modest decrease in clouds during the evening. expect a mix of stratocu and high clouds of varying coverage will prevent a temperature free fall in weak low level cold advection overnight but lows of zero to 5 above look easily reachable with fresh snow cover all areas. long term... the entrance region of the consolidated upper level jet stream and broad area of confluence aloft will work into the eastern united states thursday and friday. through continuity arguments...this forcing aloft will pull a sprawling surface anticyclone through basically the eastern one half of the u.s. and even into the atlantic. the great lakes will remain in closer reach to cyclonic flow over canada which will place the region on the northern edge of the jet. therefore westerly gradient flow will be a player through the end of the week...which has some ramifications. the importance of the westerly flow will be felt already on thursday and thursday night as colder air will wrap around the southern rim of lake michigan. this will cause the coldest temperatures of the cwa to take place from washtenaw/wayne southward...something that can be common in these scenarios. highs thursday are really expected to struggle...only reaching the teens. will need to watch the forecasted winds for thursday night...and determine whether or not current values are a little high. current wind chills thursday night are forecasted to fall into the -15 to -20 degree range...wind chill advisories could be needed. the other weather of note for thursday is the model depictions for some widespread very light qpf across lower michigan. models are suggesting the northern edge of the jet will also streamline/organize a maximum of cyclonic vorticity that would impact the state during the afternoon. overall...thermodynamic profile supports nothing of deep moisture but does show steep boundary layer lapse rates driven diurnally. supersaturation wrt ice will lead to snowflakes. attm...given a convective layer of only 2 kft...strong capping inversion and lack of deep moisture cannot call for anything but a chance of flurries. this not to say localized convergence banding won't make it interesting in a few locations. the base of the inversion is expected to lower some 1000 ft by friday which will really cut into the potential to generate flurries friday afternoon. continued to go with no weather mention. off of the cold morning temperatures...highs will again struggle to reach the teens for many areas...potentially some single digits values south and west of detroit. the deterministic solutions are showing some uncertainty this weekend with regards to the amplitude of the longwave trough that will roll through the midwest saturday night. the pattern as a whole is rather messy with plenty of noise. one thing that will drive the pattern this weekend will be some phasing of a northern canada trough straight down into faster jet flow over the plains states. models do agree that height falls and trough amplification will take place over the great lakes saturday night. this amplifying system along with some better large scale moisture will be the next potential for widespread precipitation. marine... winds will turn to the north early today as a surface low tracks across the ohio valley and towards the east coast. gusts will be highest over the southern portion of lake huron...reaching up around 30 knots. winds will become fairly light again tonight as the low pulls away from the area. increased west to southwest winds are then expected thursday through friday as low pressure drops down through northern ontario and hudson bay...and a strong dome of high pressure builds over the central plains and ohio valley. much colder air will also filter into the region during this timeframe...but extensive ice cover will help limit winds between 20 and 30 knots over lake huron...with lower values over lake st clair and western lake erie. && dtx watches/warnings/advisories... mi...winter

Roads are rough - traffic seems strangely light though for only level 2! Suspect many are sleeping in unaware of this downgrade. q.. That's probably because most of the snow has fallen after 5:30 a.m. when the snow emergency was downgraded. According to Toledo Express Airport "data,":http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KTOL/2014/2/5/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA it seems that the heavier snow began falling after 6:00 a.m. The snow intensity at 7:00 a.m. was at least heavy. I'm guessing that 1.0 to 1.5 inches of snow fell between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. I do know that as of 9:00 a.m., 3.0 inches of snow fell during the previous two hours. With a total snowfall of at least 7.0 inches, it's probable that 4 to 5 inches of that snow fell between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. At least in West Toledo. A snowfall rate of over one inch per hour is probably going to overwhelm the snow removal crews. Since 8:30 a.m., the snow intensity has been light, so the accumulation rate has dropped significantly. That should help the road crews catch up. According to radar, it appears that the snow in northern Indiana and western Ohio will move into Toledo, so it may snow for the rest of the morning, but I doubt that we average 1.5 inches per hour. The snow intensity will probably remain light. Maybe we get 1 to 2 inches more total snow by the time it ends later today. hr. http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/165696/Winter_Weather_Forecast__Model_Discussion bq. _"Here's a tip of the old fedora and a hoist of the morning bourbon glass to McCaskey, without whom this -misery- +snowstorm+ would not be possible."_ Late last night, I was little worried about snowstorm McCaskey, looking like a major weakling.

This marks the +fourth+ snowstorm this winter that dumped at least 8 to 10 inches of snow on Toledo. Normally, we don't even average one such storm per winter. Definitely a winter for the history books, and it's only February 5th. The extended forecast shows below freezing temps through next Wednesday, February 12. We've had snow cover since late in the evening of December 31. And now the youngsters today can tell exaggerated stories many years from now about how they survived the winter of 2013-2014 that dumped 500 inches of snow and brought 20 foot drifts, minus-40 degree air temperatures, and a snow cover that lasted until May.
