turtlehurricane Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We are really getting hammered, heavy wet snow and drifts from the 30+ mph gusts. This already feels like a legitimate storm and it looks like we have a long way to go, lots of moisture pushing in from the east. GFS has snow lasting until noon Thursday. Airport only has .08" liquid, but I think we have 2-3". Liquid measurements aren't that great when there's so much drifting, 1-2' foot drifts in one spot I saw. Down to 30 F so no melting. I'll post pics shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wow, +SN. 20 minutes ago the roadways were puddles. They're now completely covered. Heaviest snow rates of the season here. A bit concerned about central NY dry slot. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is this right on cue? Snowing very heavily in my area currently and is sticking everywhere How about you Canuck? Temperature down to 0.7C now in my area. Edit: Temperature down to 0.9C at YYZ, show time. Looks like it might be slightly ahead of schedule, maybe an hour or two.

McDude Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There was only an inch in change downtown when i went home around 3 and don't think they added any to that. Topped out around 3 here but we've been melting for a few hours so it's down to a super dense inch or so now.. Yeah, I was noticing a lot of melting as I was shoveling. Sucks only about 20 minutes from you there is 6+ on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Heaviest snow rates of the season here. A bit concerned about central NY dry slot. What do you think? It'll be kind of close, but I think we'll be ok. The primary is filling over IN and the H7/850 lows are going to wobble easterly from here on out.

Snowstorms Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like it might be slightly ahead of schedule, maybe an hour or two. Yeah i think citynews was calling for 10-20mm of rain before the snow in toronto, haha. Lets see how this progresses through the night.Temperature sitting at 0.4C in my area now 0.7C at YYZ and 0.9C at Buttonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just came in from outside. I can't even enjoy watching the snow. My face got completely covered in huge sloppy cotton ball flakes. With this wind, power outages are a real concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernut Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 extremely jealous of everyone tonight. Just pellets and 1-2cm of slush here in downtown Hamilton. Was on the escarpment a couple hours ago and it was already a major snowstorm then. I'm sure now they've got quite a bit. Enjoy the snow folks!

weathernut Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think everyone should change over gradually overnight. Yea, I imagine so. But it's shaping up to be quite a bit lower snow total here downtown. It was great up on the escarpment though around 8pm. Overall, this must be good news that the changeover has happened earlier than predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Some really interesting mesoscale structures over Lake Michigan, they seem to be holding together and probably have very heavy precip rates. One thing making this event special for southern Wisconsin is the strong flow off Lake Michigan (and off the other lakes to the east for that matter, there's one big fetch), the marine boundary layer is enhancing snow growth big time. http://tempest.aos.wisc.edu/radar/wi3compflash.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 What the!!! Radar is a bit deceiving tonight. Switched back to a snow/ice pellet mix here that was spiking radar returns a bit. LOVING the wind though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Been snowing at decent clip since about 6pm. Guessing we are at about 2" - Gonna bust high if things keep up over night and radar trends would seem to indicate that's a good possibility.
