snowstormcanuck Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 I am a little surprised by temps. Models had us progged below freezing right now. Don't expect that to have a huge negative impact as upstream it appears as though once precip picked up temps fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The occasional burst of moderate snow grains is having no problem accumulating on cars and grassy/elavated surfaces. Once rates bump up, im not too worried about stickage.

Temperatures should continue cooling through the next few hours as the precip intensifies. It's coming down at a good clip. Piling up quick. Looks like we can make a run for 100 days at YYZ.

Piling up quick. Looks like we can make a run for 100 days at YYZ. Only had 3cm yesterday morning at YYZ and temps AOA 10c during the day. Snow today started too late to give us access to that loophole T4 mentioned. I think we may have just missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's 3cm left in shady areas and bare ground elsewhere, an average will be employed. Could be 1cm or a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This looks to be a big one Toronto. FYI ... It looks like IMBY I should pass the 3/12 3Z SREF Mean IMBY of 8" and possibly approach the 3/11 21Z SREF mean of 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
