A-L-E-K Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 .10" storm total. Busted .70" high nearly 72 hours out...not bad. Was way high on QPF though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Doctor Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well even though this storm ended up as a piece of poop I still had a lot of fun tracking it, and it was a good storm to really kick off the model madness season. Hopefully we will have another big storm in the coming weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This system was a let down somewhat, but I can't complain about the winter so far at all! Probably 2.5" now. Pretty pics Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Really hope power is restored by tomorrow night. Euro predicting a night time low of -16c at pearson followed by a low of -21c tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Geos mini-pivot special brewing? Maybe. Just about over now, unless something else develops. Looks like the best snow was in line with the 12z GFS from yesterday. Freeport-Rockford to Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thought I'd take a walk to see what it looks like out there, and I only made it 1 block before turning back. Had 4 branches fall around me, and there is the constant cracks of others in the area. Found one large tree split in half partially on a house.

WestCoaster Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 1/2" of ice accretion in mid town. No winds at all. Where are these winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thought the snow was ending, but it's ramping back up! 250,000 customers w/o power in the GTA. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/12/22/toronto_weather_250000_customers_without_power_as_gta_freezes_in_ice_storm.html Roughly 250,000 customers are in the dark across the city and it could take up to three days for power to be fully restored, according to Toronto Hydro. Crews are working to restore power after more than 90 large-scale outages after heavy freezing rain knocked out power lines and downed trees. Torontonians are warned to plan for outages lasting up to 72 hours. Any Ontario posters that are reading this - take care! Looks ugly over there.

YHM Supercell Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sitting at 0C here, doesn't seem like any ice is accreting anymore, maybe a very slow melt. Doesn't matter though. Damage is already done. Lost power for a while earlier this morning. Lots of trees down. Was speaking to a fire fighter who was dealing with downed power lines a block away and he said it was the worst ice storm he has seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds are forecast and time is the real damage. Trees can only handle it for so long. We haven't even peaked from the damage yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spwild47 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Light SN here...definitely tapering off Eyeballing I would say abt 1.5" last night, 11-1, then another 2.5" this morning 6am to now..4" total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees can only handle it for so long. We haven't even peaked from the damage yet. We've had strong winds all night, likely leading to the amount of damage I have seen thus far. And I do agree, it is not over. Still constant cracking of trees in my neighbourgood. Was about 5 ft away from being hit by a falling tree.

Snowstorms Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Wow it looks beautiful outside. You dont see scenes like this. 2 trees in the park near my house toppled over last night. After losing power yesterday for about 1.5 hours, I miraculously did not lose power last night. Im thankful I still have power. Im hearing about numerous flight cancelations at YYZ. Wow! Sucks for the holiday travelers. Hows everyone else doing? Stay safe and happy holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoar_Frost Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 About 1.5" here -- just about what I expected going to bed last night. A bit of accretion on the trees, and that led to a couple of loose branches being knocked to the ground. I heard sleet, as well, around 0400. We'll see if that vort max progged for this evening can't give a lot of areas another 1/2"-1" of snow. Also, I'm getting a little more interested in that northwest-flow shortwave trough on Tuesday night into Wednesday -- all the ingredients, except moisture, will likely be in place, and I think 1"-2", perhaps up to 3", might be a good early guess for that.

After losing power yesterday for about 1.5 hours, I miraculously did not lose power last night. Im thankful I still have power. Here in Christie :Pits area of Toronto didn't lose power at all, not a flicker. Spoke to friends on the Danforth and even in Oshawa and they all lost power. Could be a couple of days. A very rare event here in T.O. December 21-22, 2013 will be a date remembered here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Just captured this picture. Looks like wind pick up this afternoon. @ 925mb though. Doesn't take much wind to start knocking more limbs down. Just mood flakes here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Incredible out there. Going out to take pics, north of my location, likely Georgetown and Halton Hills area.

on_wx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Transformers are blowing. The lights just went really dim followed by a "bwooooomp" buzz sound. Popped back out front, and more branches are down in the road. A senior gentlemen passing by offered me a ride, which was kind to see. The winds seem to be picking up which is causing more trees to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
