Tony Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Looking nice down in Cortland. Pretty much just a lot of slush here so thinking it will not amount to much. I think it is still a mixture around here for some odd reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Man, even the 18z GFS is now spitting out about 1.25" of QPF. Dryslot is still lurking to south and if we cut off for any significant amount of time I think my 8-11" amounts are fine. If we don't cutoff, Toronto is probably easily going north of the foot mark. GTA is likely going to do pretty well with this one. No matter the outcome I will be out shooting tomorrow morning. Good luck. Hopefully we get greater than anticipated amounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think my 12.2" is to low for Toronto but Im still going with 10-16" spread for the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 The thermal profiles are so marginal around Chicagoland right now (relatively deep layer flirting around 0-1C) that even slight oscillations in precip rate or what have you are going to play havoc with precip type.

dmc76 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 WJBK was saying 3-5 last night, I knew they'd change their tune, as that was too close to reality. They went back to 3-5". To bad im going to show case that map when were done WXYZ has 5-7" north of 8 Mile. 3-5 south of that. 8-10"+ north of 26 Mile rd. 11"+ along 69.

michsnowfreak Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nice wet snow pics guys! DTX saying freezing rain, sleet, and snow changing to snow with 2-4" overnight and up to an inch tomorrow. Sounds like a very good forecast but also with bust potential either way the way we will be threading the needle. Temps jumped to 38F at DTW today, snow took quite a hit. Current snowcover is 1-2", there are some 3" spots in the shade but also some bare spots in the open sun (yes we had lots of sun today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They went back to 3-5". To bad im going to show case that map when were done WXYZ has 5-7" north of 8 Mile. 3-5 south of that. 8-10"+ north of 26 Mile rd. 11"+ along 69. Don't understand the disparity from say 696 to 69. Precip amounts are similar. Maybe ratios will be better further north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Very interesting to see the slight differences between the GEM and other models. Hence EC feeling that Hamilton-Halton are going to bear the brunt. Personally I think the heaviest snow will be from Hamilton to the northern/eastern GTA as per the steady Euro. EC may find themselves issuing Winter Storm Warnings in the morning for the GTA in my opinion. I don't see any reason to not have a Storm Warning in Toronto already based on all models, besides the GEM. Should be a great storm! Enjoy.Correct me if I'm wrong, but a snowfall warning is actually better than a winter storm warning given it means all snow as opposed to a mix of snow and ice pellets. Thanks for the best wishes everyone. I live in northeast Toronto so hopefully I'll be in the bullseye. Currently I'm downtown, where the snow seems to have temporarily tapered off.

Hopefully we get greater than anticipated amounts Awesome man I will definitely be checking out the video. As someone who spent the last few months pouring over the models waiting for the big one, it breaks my b***s to be leaving the bullseye less than 12 hrs before we get hit. Cheers to you guys. I guess there's always another storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Rained all day here, got 0.68". Temp held around 34-35. Have just switched to wet snow in the last few mins. Won't last very long as the back edge is quickly approaching. Congrats to those who got/get snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Very weird for Chicago to flip before Cycloneville It was raining a half hour ago when I left work. Drove right through the rain/snow line right before I came into Erie. Looks like it could rip for the next half hour to hour, so it's possible we could sneak out a lucky/quick inch of cement.

Chitown Storm Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Wow I can't believe that's what is looks like where you are. I'm maybe 15 miles from you and it's a completely different world. Congrats to you! Snow really picking up now on the east side of Aurora. Huge flakes. After a quick period of -SN back to +SN. Roads are awful.

Baum Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Heavy snow here. It looks like the "usual suspects" call will bust. As complicated a forecast as this storm was I think the 1-3 inch calls for Chicago proper will pan out. I'm thinking ORD registers 1.5 inches. Which is on par with most calls.
