snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 No change in the last hour. Just a very wet snow that's a step away from being plain rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is awesome. Snowing quite heavily in Hamilton. Everything is covered including roads and sidewalks. I'm gonna say probably about 2cm or so on the ground right now and accumulating fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Oh man this is the greatest packing snow in the history of the universe. About 2.5" of absolute cakeage.

OntarioWX Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is awesome. Snowing quite heavily in Hamilton. Everything is covered including roads and sidewalks. I'm gonna say probably about 2cm or so on the ground right now and accumulating fast. Really? Nice. Don't even know if we have half of that here. Snow is having a really tough time staying on the ground, especially when it's lighter. The difference between the escarpment and down here is going to be significant.

michsnowfreak Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 like most of the snow events this winter, this storm is definitely overperforming from a moisture perspective. Qpf looks to have been underdone as we are over 1 inch of water with an entire night of precip to come. It appears sleet is still mixing in with the snow, as the heavier returns and relatively good visibility showed (I then went to a window and heard some pinging). Definitely over an inch of snow/sleet on the ground, didnt measure though. Snowbanks and areas of the grass that had old patches of snow will be like indestructible rocks in a few days (though I imagine the plain grassy areas may suck up the snow tomorrow, who knows).

cyclone77 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like the Cedar Rapids crew is making up for lost time with that earlier dry wedge. They will avoid this dry slot and stay in the snow all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Measured a consistent 3.5" on the walkway up to the house. Not a bad storm, but like most of them this winter, just a steady moderate or high end moderate at its best. It does seem difficult to get true heavy snow in Milwaukee these past two winters. We're probably the king of steady moderate snow with cutters, though. With that being said, a decent lake band of moderate snow is coming in from my hood northward.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Finally the snow is becoming a little more formidable here in west Toronto. Visibility is starting to come down but still doesn't appear to be anything on the ground. Pearson chimed in with 1.1c at the bottom of the hour. Almost to the promise land.

Geos Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Next wave from the lake is here, visibilities taking a tumbling again. More snow east of Chicago moving westwards. Great pictures everyone! Good to hear some of the heavier totals got further south for this event in IL compared to the 2/7 storm. Congrats to those in MI and Ontario too.
