Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 RUC for the win! its normally too far west but with a storm this intense, it nailed it for hi-res short term modeling, the RGEM actually did outstanding wrt to the low passing N and W and the dryslot also.....i remember 48 hrs ago it had the low near the SW tip of lake erie and couldnt believe it when the euro came on board yesterday. the NAM was a terrible dissapointment......this type of feedback cyclogenesis the NAM should excel at.....but it was awful awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEaster27 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 RUC for the win! RUC nailed all the big snows in NYC this year from the big blizzard to the 20 inch storm last week when most models showed only 4-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Who knows, maybe it'll be like February 13th, 1993 and it'll just keep snowing. Interestingly, i lived in Toronto for that storm and we got only 12 cm (5") while Ottawa got 37cm. February 1993 Ottawa: http://www.climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=XX&StationID=4337&Year=1993&Month=2&Day=1 (note how the month started with a simlar snow depth to this month!) February 1993 Toronto: http://www.climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=XX&StationID=5097&Year=1993&Month=2&Day=1 lol I guess it was a little less than 12cm!

Huffwx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just took me a jebwalk-- Better detailed report. Must have flipped to all snow shortly after I went to sleep. Looks like between 2.5 and 3 inches fell at that time. It did go to all sleet and freezing rain after and there is about a .3 inch crust on top of sleet and snow. Call storm total 9 inches--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 thanks for the learning moment how much have you gotten in total? i think this widespread 1-2.5 foot amounts being tossed around by other mets and NWS offices was a big byproduct of the FEMA hype. 4" for part 2....2" yesterday morning.

the minister Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Huge disappointment, I must say, in Spencer, NY. Andy seemed to me to be hinting at lower QPF's than the models were showing for a couple of days...I appreciate his honesty and now I'm just banking on Saturday or next Tuesday! Plus, we did get about 3 inches last night, so it wasn't a complete disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 snow has picked up considerably here in west montreal, even moreso than before this band should mean business for the next little while as it crosses the city WSW to ENE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 there were some thunder reports earlier with the bands crossing around fort erie yeah i think the amount of convection with this storm from the midwest to the dryslot instability areas....was pretty darn impressive, really stood out for me. ottawa is getting absolutely raked but the dryslot is fast approaching.....it needs to collpase back southeast soon.

Huffwx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 is that the 2 day total? Yes, 6.5 yesterday-- between 2.5 and 3 round 2. This is graded a C on the chase scale. I've had much worst busts and much better outcomes. The three hours of heavy snow always make it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 About 6"of snow and sleet here. Stuff is so dense its unbeleievable. Snowing now 22 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What are the chances that it does? the fact that another megaband is well north of ottawa and montreal (much further than where the models had it) isn a good sign. i think you'll get into a lull then hopefully some snow can swing back S ....but it wont be anything like this band so get out there and enjoy it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
