Torontonian Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Heavy snow with strong winds. Snow coming down like crazy. I'd say at least 10 cm has fallen so far downtown. Just measured 10 cm as well. Seen the term 'ripping' used on forum. That seems to be happening downtown T.O at moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If anyone in this thread doesn't give this winter an A after this storm... Incredible snow still coming down. That band is an absolute thing of beauty. Must have surpassed the 15cm mark by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like the discrete intense band is smoothing out to a broader area of moderate snow the last couple of frames. Not sure if you guys are noticing a distinction on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you guys are noticing a distinction on the ground. Just a tad less intense compared to 30 minutes ago, but still coming down at a decent clip.

snowstormcanuck Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 With the new grey bar/map plotted SWSs I wonder if EC figured it's just as visible as a warning so why bother upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Still have a nice comma head area of snow to move through back across NW OHIO/Lk Erie. 6" is a done deal. Can we make a run to 10" though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 People getting stuck in the lot at work. Time to get out here and enjoy this baby from the comfort of my living room.

on_wx Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Walking to Tims drifts 1 - 2 ft on sidewalks lots of blowing snow. Easily 4-5" but impossible to measure at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just measured 21cm off my snow board! Not sure how contaminated my measurement is by drifting but I've found in the past that my spot is somewhat wind-protected and has matched well with other local reports in past storms.
