Ryan45 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sorry if there's a misunderstanding. My snowpack is about 5". The 1/4-1/3" is in reference to the ice that's fallen. Nah I understood you Stay safe and welcome home! How long are you here for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Holiday tradition in your house? Good luck, BTW...on retaining power. I try and to catch I and II before Christmas each year. Watched one on the plane back last night, and two tonight. Thanks Tim. I don't have high hopes about the power unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Dayum. After holding steady for 5-6 hours at -0.6c at the sfc, YYZ has dropped to -1.0c at 11pm. TD = -2.1c and the heaviest precip is about to move in. Ice is going to accumulate at a decent clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Dayum. After holding steady for 5-6 hours at -0.6c at the sfc, YYZ has dropped to -1.0c at 11pm. TD = -2.1c and the heaviest precip is about to move in. Ice is going to accumulate at a decent clip. I'm still at -2.2 Celsius. I imagine I'm going to get a lot of ice buildup in the next couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 What are you all thinking for final ice accretion totals? I'm going to say about 1/2 - 3/4" near the lake, 3/4-1" along Hwy 401, 1"+ north of the 401. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Boy it's crazy outside. My thermometer has a reading of -1.5C and its icy everywhere. I lost power for one hour. Been trying to salvage every resource as the power has returned for the moment. Hows everyone else doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Flickered a few hours ago. Otherwise still illuminated. Yeah based on the radar the heaviest is just crossing the border. Could be a crazy night coming in. Hope everyone is safe! The trees are glazed up nicely. The snow cover has a shiny reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Shot 2013-12-21 at 9.43.12 PM.png Thanks for posting this. I was about to ask when the heavy stuff was going to arrive as, while it's an icy mess outside, it's still only light freezing rain falling outside.
