Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 It's quite cold out there ahead of this system, being close to -14 Celsius at my place currently with a northeast wind blowing. Hoping for 4-6" tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernut Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 NAM would seem to agree with placing the heaviest snow towards Burlington. I still have the EURO in the back of my head which is more aggressive with the winds veering so I give it a bit of weight. I live in a great spot for this wind alignment. Overlooking Hamilton Harbour near the RBG on York/Plains. Right at the end of the harbour. A long fetch ENE wind drives right into the harbour/Burlington area.

Gilbertfly Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Pretty nice dendrites here, shouldn't be long til it starts to accumulate. phenomenal lead band for MBY...best rates of the season for me street now covered as well....thought the residual salt would have held up longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathernut Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Agree with you for the most part. I think ground zero for the lake enhancement will likely end up in the Burlington area, although we are just nitpicking when we get to that fine of a scale. Anywhere from Hamilton to Mississauga looks pretty good for at least 6", and as you said 10" or more is possible. Noticed that EC's forecast for Hamilton is 25-30cm when you include Friday Night, Saturday, and Saturday Night. Same goes for Southern Halton(Burlington/Oakville) sub-region as well. I work tomorrow, but will hopefully be able to do some shooting before and after work(maybe on break as well ). EDIT: 0z 4km NAM valid 12am Sunday. that's gorgeous.

Hoosier Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Near term radar trends look encouraging for Chicago. Should get into some of that heavier banding over the next couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 ratios are more impressive than I was expecting....easily brushed away snow....bouncing between SN and SN+ PWAT's hitting .5 through Chicago at 3Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lock but I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up to drive to the office in the early am to the wwa expanded to include Dupage, Kendall and possibly Kane.

Thunder Road Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 1.2" on the sidewalk at 0445z. We have the snow board set up, but it's across campus, so I'm planning on taking a 09z ob so that when the aviation team goes in in the morning they can measure and it'll be ~6 hours after.

cyclone77 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 0.2" so far. Has been very light, and battling dry air. Even had some light freezing drizzle at the onset earlier. A buddy from work has around 3" so far about 40 miles south of here. A big kick in the nuts kind of system for this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue60007 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Temp has risen to 31 here. Hopefully that is the extent of the rise tonight. Thinking we need to get that warm 925mb wedge on to our east, then we should be safe. It's creeping awfully close again. That said, returns on the next wave should pick things up again shortly.
