What happened

The episode as NWS CLE wrote it up.

A strong area of deepening low pressure moved up the Ohio Valley on January 5th. This low moved across northwestern Pennsylvania early on the 6th and then continued rapidly northeast. Snow associated with this low developed over northwestern Ohio around daybreak on the 5th. Periods of moderate to heavy snow were then reported throughout the day. Snowfall rates exceeded an inch per hour at times. The snow briefly ended during the early morning hours of the 6th but resumed again after daybreak. The snow ended for good around midday on the 6th. Northwest winds gusted to as much as 30 mph on the 5th with westerly winds in excess of 40 mph on the 6th. Near blizzard conditions were reported for many hours and travel was nearly impossible at times. Dozens of accidents were reported. Snowfall totals of 6 inches or more were reported as far south as Hancock County and as far east as eastern Ottawa and Sandusky Counties. The heaviest snow fell across western Lucas County. At Toledo Express Airport a total of 13.0 inches fell on the 5th and 6th with 9.4 inches on 5th. Other storm totals included 9.3 inches at Sylvania in Lucas County and 9.0 inches at Findlay in Hancock County. Temperatures plummeted on the 6th with temperatures falling below zero by mid morning. The combination of frigid temperatures and strong winds made clean up of the snow nearly impossible. Schools in Northwest Ohio were closed on both the 6th and 7th.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 5, 6:17 AM EST, 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
617 AM EST SUN JAN 5 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL STRENGTHEN AND
MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
WILL DROP SOUTHEAST OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA MONDAY AND COVER MUCH OF
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN STATES BY TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR 630 UPDATE.

CURRENTLY LOW PRESSURE CENTER IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS WITH THE ARCTIC
BOUNDARY INTO CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN.  LIGHT SNOW IS JUST NOW
REACHING INTO NW OH.   FORECAST QUESTION OF THE DAY WHAT WILL BE THE
TRACK AND TIMING OF THE LOW.   USED THE GFS SOLUTION SINCE GFS AND
ECMWF VERY CLOSE.  BOTH MODELS HAVE THE LOW REACHING CENTRAL OHIO
TOWARD 00Z.  THAT WILL ALLOW A WARM SURGE ACROSS NE OH/NW PA THIS
AFTERNOON SO THAT ANY PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON WILL PROBABLY
START AS A PERIOD OF RAIN.  WITH DEW POINTS IN THE TEENS AND 20S
EVAPORATIONAL COOLING WILL HELP TRANSITION PRECIP TO SNOW BY LATE
AFTERNOON.  HEAVIEST SNOWS WILL BE FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS WHEN THE LOW TRACKS ACROSS NE OH AND NW PA.  LOW
FORECAST TO REACH EASTERN LAKE ERIE TOWARD MIDNIGHT LOCAL.

EXPECT 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS NW OH TODAY...WHILE IN THE EAST
1 TO LOCALLY 3 INCHES...DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHANGE
OVER TO ALL SNOW.

FYI...WINTER STORM HEADLINES WILL IMPLY/CONTAIN ANY WIND CHILL
WARNING CRITERIA SO BOTH HEADLINES WILL NOT EXIST AT THE SAME TIME
AND PLACE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST.  ARCTIC FRONT MOVES
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT PLUNGING THE AREA INTO THE DEEP FREEZE.  EXPECT
FALLING TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY MONDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL
PLUNGE TO -10 TO -20 DEGREES MONDAY NIGHT...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES
OF -35 TO -40F.  THE LAST WIND CHILL WARNING ISSUED BY THIS OFFICE
WAS 16 JANUARY 2009.

SYNOPTIC SNOW WILL END MOST LOCATIONS BY MONDAY...HOWEVER LAKE
EFFECT ACROSS THE SNOWBELT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL WILL SLOWLY MODERATE THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGHS ARE ON
TRACK TO BREAK 40 DEGREES IN A FEW SPOTS AS EARLY AS FRIDAY...BUT
THE GUIDANCE COULD BE A BIT ON THE HIGH SIDE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
SNOW THAT WILL BE ON THE GROUND. SO THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE OF
BREAKING 40 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIP REMAINS
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE GFS...WHICH BRINGS
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTER UP THE SPINE OF AN INVERTED TROUGH
TOWARDS OHIO. THE ECMWF DOES NOT JUMP ON THIS FEATURE AND INSTEAD
INDICATES A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE DAKOTAS AND
SPREAD PRECIP ACROSS OHIO FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS PROGGED TO BE AROUND FREEZING...RAIN COULD SWITCH
OVER TO SNOW OR A WINTRY MIX AFTER SUNSET.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BIG TIME CHANGES COMING IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS THAT WILL HAVE MAJOR
AVIATION IMPACTS. TEMPERATURES DROP OFF INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
FAIRLY QUICKLY WEST OF THE FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL
OVER THE AREA TOMORROW MORNING AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST
ALONG THE FRONT. EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW STILL IN QUESTION BUT
MODELS ARE COMING CLOSER TO A CONSENSUS AND THEY ARE TRENDING
TOWARD A WARMER EASTERN HALF OF THE TRACK.

WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL TAKE PLACE AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE WESTERN
PORTIONS WILL GET INTO THE COLD AIR IN THE MORNING. I ANTICIPATE
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH WARM AIR ALOFT TO CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION
OVER TO RAIN. SURFACE TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED ABOVE FREEZING AT
THIS TIME IN THE EAST AND I DONT EXPECT THEM TO DROP DURING THE DAY.

THE SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...EXPECTING
MODERATE SNOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS TOLEDO AND FINDLAY SUNDAY. WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AS WELL ACROSS THAT AREA AND THEN MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

NOTE...BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD...LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST
OF THE AREA AROUND 1 AM MONDAY. THIS IS WHEN THE SHARPLY COLDER
AIR AND MUCH STRONGER WINDS WILL ARRIVE. SNOW HEAVY AT TIMES WILL
BE LIKELY WITH DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS. GROUND CREWS IN THE OUTDOORS
WILL NEED TO KEEP ALL EXPOSED FLESH COVERED AS FROST BITE CAN
OCCUR IN MINUTES. ANY SNOW THAT FALLS WILL BE BLOWING AROUND
CONSIDERABLY IN THE GUSTY WINDS.

OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL NON VFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACROSS NE OHIO
AND NW PA FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MORE NON VFR POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
AS LOW PRESSURE CLEARS NORTHERN OHIO AND TRACKS TOWARDS THE
NORTHEAST THE WIND WILL WRAP AROUND FROM THE SOUTHWEST...BECOMING
GUSTY BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING. BY MID-MORNING THE WIND WILL BE GALE
FORCE OVER THE LAKE. COMBINED WITH FRIGID COLD
TEMPERATURES...FREEZING SPRAY WILL ACCUMULATE ON OBJECTS ON OR NEAR
THE LAKE. UPGRADES TO THE GALE AND FREEZING SPRAY WATCHES WILL BE
CONSIDERED IN THE SHORT TERM. BY WEDNESDAY THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
RELAXES AND HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
