on_wx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Doesn't look like that big a deal. Seems to be mostly about parking. lol. More hysteria from gov't officials. Kitchener officials didn't use the term "emergency" they're calling it a "snow event", $80 fine if you park on the streets after 1159pm. Windsor though... Just saw now Waterloo has declared an 'Overnight parking ban'. They skipped any form of sensationalism and went right to boring terms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick7032 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Tough call overall--flake size will hurt ratios--but I think a solid 7-10" maybe 11-12" with more than enough blowing/drifting. I meant with regard to convective timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npcougar Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 After this storm, I hope you guys give an A grade for the winter. These type of snowfall and storms don't happen very often. Enjoy it. B winter for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 these winds are absolutely insane already, we have to have drifts in the yard around 16", told my family we probably wont see a plow down our street till late morning tomorrow.

baroclinic_instability Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I meant with regard to convective timing? Oh yeah I agree--NAM has uses in those situations. Seems the radar hole is filling in with continued ascent and I would expect it to break out into various forms of elevated/slanted convection in N IL by 03-4Z with the tanking mid level heights..

Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Leading edge of the snow already over central Lk Erie. NAM/GFS way too slow. RUC's got the idea. are they too slow with the backedge too? or is this typical WAA breaking out snows ahead of the main shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just wanted to drop in and wish all my midwest people all the best with this storm! I'm hopng it'll be a great one for you guys!

Howie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Temp up to 25.2*-- up a couple of degrees in the last hour-- suspect additional precip (currently in the "finger dry slot") will be freezing rain vs. the sleet which has piled up all day. Hoping the dry slot continues its progress toward the Indy metro area...that would be outstanding for those wanting to mitigate the potential for power outages as the winds are really starting to howl.

JoMo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 After this storm, I hope you guys give an A grade for the winter. These type of snowfall and storms don't happen very often. Enjoy it. After how crappy the start was, this was well worth it! It was 73 degrees on Saturday..... and today...18" of snow measured at 2:37 but it still snowed for a few hours after that and we may have received 19-20". The most we've ever had is 22.5" and that was 100 or so years ago. (according to Joplinmet) The storm had thundersnow (just heard 2 claps of thunder) a lot of snow, and it ended with big flake size. I wasn't too thrilled at the 'blizzard' portion though as it just blew the snow all around and I like being able to go outside and experience the calmness and quiet that occurs during the storm. I fed some birds some bird food because I was afraid they'd die since the ground is covered with almost 2 feet of snow. They just chilled here all day at the feeder.
