A-L-E-K Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Interesting. I guess I'll defer to you on this. You throw my pics in with Josh's and Geo's and I can't tell which belong to which city's 'burbs. Geos is in the exurbs/country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 man, nice meso-band tickling Ottawa Blizzard's hood. He's cleaning up. Death band just to the NE of Toronto. Rip city. So OB is in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We need larger flake size (higher temp.) for better accumulation in my location downtown T.O. Still probably a few more inches to fall. Like SSC's accuracy and enthusiasm. Living in Toronto is tough for weather nut. 50 miles in any direction would bring more severe weather in winter events and summer T-storms.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Death band just to the NE of Toronto. Rip city. So OB is in that area? Yup. Far NE side of Toronto. The 25 dbz stuff over my house is +SN per observations so it's gotta be coming down 2-3"/hr where he's at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 man, nice meso-band tickling Ottawa Blizzard's hood. He's cleaning up. Here's another one. Wtf. Either you guys are improperly measuring or I'm in a screwhole. Are any of you guys clearing your measuring surface more than once per 6 hours? Actually, i measured about 7.5" on my driveway and 11" in my backyard, both away from drifts. I suppose I probably had some snow left over from the lake effect last week, so the driveway is probably more accurate. I'd say I've got about 8" now. I think we'll get at otal of 10-12". man, nice meso-band tickling Ottawa Blizzard's hood. He's cleaning up. Yeah, I'm getting smoked right now.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pictures will be coming later today. Guy is here to fix the furnace at the moment (house temperature is 60F at the moment!). He tells me that none of the roads in Scarborough have been plowed, not even the main roads like McCowan and Brimley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm getting smoked right now. low albedo coefficient means driveway is not proper for measuring either as amounts will likely be deflated. Truth for you is probably somewhere in between those two numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 looks like a snowstorm alright...Toronto's suburbs look a lot like Chicago's..probably more so than any other city I can think of. Idk Detroit's is very very similar as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 TWN disagrees. Do you have a source? I have friends living near the Pearson area, like 5 mins away. So i rely on their numbers more than Pearson. They said 17cm and snowing nicely still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just measured 8". Had 2" in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 So, it's about right. 8" so far from this storm. I had about 3" on the ground beforehand as a result of last week's lake effect, so my garden snowstick is measuring 11" accurately as my snowdepth.

weathernut Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I really didn't think 30cm was attainable for Hamilton, but now it seems like we're heading there. 22cm (9 inches) down so far. Great storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
