donsutherland1 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 no, but I think they should. Judging from models, we could get 8-10" tomorrow. i have found that the Canadian weather outlets have been lagging in this storm. Local Ottawa news calling for 6". Local Montreal news calling for 8-12" in both Ottawa and Montreal. 8"-10" looks reasonable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 When you guys have reported winds and gusts tonight, do you have anemometers, or are you just estimating the wind speeds? I can use any reports measured with anemometers for LSRs. By the way, hands down the craziest storm I've ever experienced and I was working at WFO NYC last winter during most of the storms there.

snowlord81 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Light freezing rain here now. Perhaps, just perhaps, we're done with the sleet. Ive got about 4 inches of sleet on the ground and have been getting ZR for about 2 hours now. The trees are def. crackling and my powers flickered a few times. My temp is trying to make a last second gasp to get to 32. Im at 31 now. The low should pass by in the next hour or 2 and temps will crash again. Winds died down with the low overhead, but I assume they will be rocking come early morning. Maybe some power issues then. The sleet saved our asses down here.

on_wx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Up to 0.8" since 1030pm. Snow is picking up now. Winds 17kmh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Still ripping with heavy snow and 25+dBZ returns. The insane snow rates from an hour or so ago are gone, but I'm sure this is still near 1"/hr rates. I'm a bit surprised at the relative low amounts being reported to DVN so far. We have to be over a foot or so here, but I don't see anyone in this immediate area even close to that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be over a foot or so here, but I don't see anyone in this immediate area even close to that yet. I seriously think that the wind is going result in lower totals and thus no record snowfall for our area. The duration was a factor too, you really need a 24 hour long snow to get record totals. Though when you think about it snow began around 1 or 2 PM and pretty much went 1"/hr for 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd almost be better off estimating based on returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlord81 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Quoted for truth. The sleet storm was pretty epic, I can say it is the first time I have ever seen accumulated sleet like that. Im still a bit worried when the winds pick up in the next few hours we may have more outages. My power has flickerd the last few hours with a calm wind. And were still picking up a light ZR. Hopefully we can get a few inches of fluff to top this mess off in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have 11" in my back yard...it's pretty well enclosed, and the depth is uniform, not affected by the drift as much as the driveway, and front yard. I have 4' tall snow piles along the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
