Proof Sheet Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 yes but at least we got about 3-4 inches of snow, at least we did here on the west end. ice pellets now at the airport, and the kitchen sink I think the drop in temp is just starting here in the west end of Ottawa..gone from +2.7 c to +2.0 in the last 20 or 30 minutes...although the RH is still at 98%..cyow is reporting +2.1 c with 93% RH.....I think my peak here was +2.9 c mid morning.

It's the way I'm put together.. ;-) Anyways, we're back to snow, and the temperature is down to 28.. Cheers, Scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub_Zero Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It looks like the cold front is starting to move through....strong winds blowing from the north, and temperatures plummeting. Ahhhhh how I love the weather in Ottawa... Too mild at +3c you say? Just wait an hour and it's back to winter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, especially with what happened in Ottawa with this system, it's rather mind blowing.. I'm amazed with what I consider to be a sub par year for us snow wise, we've received 65'ish inches of snow so far.. What a strange winter this has been, ah?

Cheers, Scratch we've done ok. not great certainly, but at least better than in ottawa. fortunately, the whole area has been able to build a respectable snowcover. you are in city right? how much snowcover is there? i always finds Dorval to be so misrepresentative. i have about 2 feet now, here in the burbs.

I'd say so. It snowed (very wet snow) most if this am before changing over to rain. I just drive from Orleans to Kanata, the 417 is very slippery!!! Be careful out there!

snowstormcanuck Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Flash freeze warning in effect for Ottawa. All the way down to 0F tonight. Then, the torch commences. Up to 51F by Thirsday with rain showers. Serious question OB. Worst winter ever for Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxinar Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Serious question OB. Worst winter ever for Ottawa? Not OB, but I'll try to answer that question with an example that might sum up a decent part of this winter. Below, the map from TWN issued yesterday for the delightful clipper. Nice map!! We got rain...mostly. C'est la vie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Serious question OB. Worst winter ever for Ottawa? well, it won't be this one. We've got a decent snowpack here and had a reasonable cold period in January. 1952-53 was pretty bad, as was 1931-32. Recently, I'd have to say 2001-2002 and maybe 2009-2010. Of course if by worst you mean the coldest, snowiest winter, it would likely be 1933-34 hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 yeah 2009-10 was defintely worse than this year. this year aint no picnic, but not as bad as last yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYWxGuy Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 The weather has come a long way since it was 51°F with wind-driven sprinkles Monday Afternoon. Finger Lake Enhancement has led to about 2" of accumulation this Evening, and still snowing at a good clip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown it's a bit less than what you have.. I would guess anywhere between 16 and 18 inches of snow.. I'm just hoping that the torch and the rain forecasted for later this week doesn't obliterate our snowpack.. Here's hoping, ah?

Logan11 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Definitely I nice turn around here. 5F this morning -> that is about 40 degrees colder than yesterday at this time. Too bad it gets ugly again Thursday/Friday, but early next week holds some overunning snow promise. Downtown it's a bit less than what you have..

Events like the one modeled for next week always seem to trend warmer, and ultimately end up warmer than modeled. Saturday would be a good time to start looking at the models again.
