I have to investigate round 1 total..my wife relayed the info to me and said 3.5..my son apparently took the measurement and said 2.5..my wife stands by "I was told 3.5" my son's in denial.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 just got back from a Jebwalk defintely a nice surprise today tough to say exactly how much because of the blowing but id estimate 8-10 so far still snowing nice sized dendrites now. drift in spots anywhere from 2.5 feet on my front path, to as much as 4.5 feet in one spot i saw.....that surprised me. will wait for official measurements but snowpack is looking delightful this evening. Amazing snow band just went through. Big fluffy flakes, acumulating well on the roads and sidewalks. Just an amazing storm when you consider what the models had us getting a few days ago. I'd say our snowpack is approaching 2 feet if it hasn't surpassed it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlk23 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I bet it is 2 feet or a bit more in the unblown areas. I'll check it out later. So how much have Ottawa and Montreal received as of now? Bit of a bust I'm afraid - according to EC at 3 p.m. we had 9 cm. in Ottawa. In my driveway it was probably closer to 12 (i.e. less than 6 inches). http://www.ottawasun.com/news/ottawa/2011/02/02/17131306.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know how EC takes their measurements. If we only received 11cm, then I don't know how we managed the 50cm in March 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlk23 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I guess we'll find out more tomorrow ottawablizzard. I think the drifting made it awfully difficult to get a true sense of how much has come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I guess we'll find out more tomorrow ottawablizzard. I think the drifting made it awfully difficult to get a true sense of how much has come down. Even without the drifting, i had to shovel twice today. I don't know, call me paranoid, but I sometimes think these agencies downplay the totals just so they can say, "see, we don't get snow like we used to".

Organizing Low Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 thier obs at Ottawa Airport were very unusual today....i almost felt as if there sensor was off. i wonder if thats an automated snowfall count (is there such a thing?) my parents who are very reliable said there is about 7-8 inches/20cm in south ottawa a bit ago, and they are near the airport. i see EC didnt report ottawa's total it in their speacial weather statement at 3pm.....so we will have to wait till tomorrow to see what they say. ive seen them adjust, again they are usually excellent with snowfall. perhaps my original 4-8 will verify after all. ....but i hope they get right! and yeah, drifting can certainly cause issues Carlk. welcome to the board btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I gather a cold shot is coming next week. Does Ottawa have a shot of one more 0F day? I realize those are rarer in February, but they can happen. Hopefully we get a few more storms too. It looks like a SE ridge is developing. Perhaps this is what Bastardi means when he mentions a warm up after Valentines? Bad for the MA, but good for us further north?

Se ridge is fine for us there is the potential for a cold shot next week defintely, but its not in stone. in terms of extreme temps, i believe that february is the coldest temps ever recorded in our region......mid february can defintely be brutal coldwise..... i mentioned in the main thread, we will have our storm chances if the PV wants to cooperate.

West Point, NY Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Oh we're talking about snow depth? Yeah......I walked through the backyard with the ladder to get some snow off the roof edge and the depth averaged just below my knees. And yes, you got a bit over an inch more than me for the combined last 2 days...........But your inch more here and there is starting to add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 this was issued at 559pm so it implies > 6 inches falling and up to 12 in spots, and includes CYOW Ottawa South - Richmond - Metcalfe 5:59 PM EST Wednesday 02 February 2011 Winter storm warning for Ottawa South - Richmond - Metcalfe continued Snow and local blowing snow into this evening. The major storm which was affected the lower Great Lakes is tracking northeast into New England this evening. Most of the snow has tapered off to occasional flurries or light snow over all but far Eastern Ontario. Widespread total snowfall amounts of 15 to 20 centimetres with local 30 are likely by the time the snow ends this evening. This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. This winter storm is having a major impact on travel with residual blowing and drifting snow. Motorists should be prepared to change plans accordingly to avoid unnecessary travel. i guess we will have to wait for official records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
