I was on NWSChat when that happened. IWX said that it wasn't lining up with velocity/reflectivity scans and speculated that it might have been a microburst.
I spent a lot of time outside today.

Nope, only GRR with a WWA. I don't know what IWX is waiting on. Maybe waiting to coordinate with LOT? There definitely should be a Watch out for heavy snow in the NW CWA and maybe a WWA for a mixed bag in the SE.
Even though the zr signal is there, I would think that the high off of the Atlantic coast on both the Euro and GFS would need to be positioned more to the northwest in Ontario to keep the feed of cold air coming. There might be some significant ice, but without a prolonged cold air feed, it will probably be short-lived. (I've always wanted to make a map )
Or stay under the record until mid-March, then get a wrist-slashing 10" of cement that melts the next day, making the seasonal snowfall not look that bad years down the road, when it fact it sucked badly.
I reported to IWX the conditions as it rolled through here, thinking that they would issue a Snow Squall Warning, but only got a response of, "Thanks. That arctic front means business." Then they continued to issue SPS's downstream.
1.2" with the clipper this morning, then another 0.6" of +SN with the trailing arctic front this afternoon. Along with 1 1/2" already on the ground, it's gonna be white until at least Friday.
2.8" I'll take it and run with the way the past several winters have gone around here. Could get some freezing drizzle tomorrow to give the snow a glaze.
I also laughed about that when I read it this morning, but we have less than inch down and roads are trashed. As usual, lots of wrecks and slide-offs, so it ended up being a good call, whether wanted to or not.
Cool map, but you didn't include Iowa or Minnesota, from which we have a lot of posters. Also, I modified it so that anyone inside the red line can post complaints, but I don't want to hear any bitching from those outside the line.
