dilly84 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 wow, just looked at the radar, wth happened. theres nothing left but shredded chicken in OH. I may see 10 minutes of snow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 that was a disaster here. 12" forecasted and ended up being a sleet storm. Can't use that one as reason not to feel sorry for us. Might have to refer to Hoosier, he got an epic blizzard from that We have had 3 really memorable storms in the past 50 years 1978, 2003, and 2008.. Now Im talking winter storms, and ones that most people remember. You could say 1996 etc, but Im talking ones a lot of people remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i still remember watching the mos runs come in after the first wave hit. We were supposed to be missed to the southeast with the second wave and then all of a sudden the blues started shifting north dramatically....that was I think the ETA was the only one that did not waver much and kept us in the game the whole time. Most wrote it off to a warm bias. And yeah i remember Cleveland had to do a bit of catching up as i recall the warning had been dropped after part 1 and then was not put back up till after 6 or so had already fallen with part 2.

Might have to refer to Hoosier, he got an epic blizzard from that That was another epic fail here. Right up there with the Dec 2004 HOVS. However atleast with the HOVS i got a few hours of decent heavy snow and some LES on the backside. Both were huge heart breakers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Im talking winter storms, and ones that most people remember. You could say 1996 etc, but Im talking ones a lot of people remember. 1978 was only bad here because of the wind. Snowfall was not that significant in this area. 4.4" officially at CMH. It was far western and northwestern parts of the state that got most of it, as well as Indiana and Michigan. Even that epic storm was largely a miss for central Ohio, as funny as that is to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontonian Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 KW Airport reporting +SN at 446pm. Very light groupel like stuff here downtown.

AppsRunner Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 wow local mets calling for 6-8 totals now....one met saying "he called this" yesterday...wtf In a word, No. I barely follow the local news here but did last night, heard 1-3" as an average. WTOL mentioned 4" possible last night...13abc said 1-3" this morning. I was thinking 3-5 last night... but that was too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we still have to wait and see if we are in screw zone again. Hmm..decent sized flakes here. Enough snow on the ground you can make a footprint in. Should start to fill in down there shortly, although attm it looks like the heaviest band is actually setting up a bit to our north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but 70 mph winds coupled with 4" of fresh snow is superstorm like, especially considering there was already 6 or 7" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London snowsquall Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Snowing to beat the band here. Probably the heaviest since December - at least 3 or 4 inches -maybe more - since it started late morning is my guess. The snowpiles here are simply huge.

I'm too afraid to look at radar because I don't want this to end. When you say "lighter amounts" do you mean like 1"? GTA missing out on this altogether?

SpartyOn Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Some nice pictures that display the intensity of the snowfall here in SEMI (royal oak) Taken about 2 hours.. As of now 5.4 inches and counting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to refer to Hoosier, he got an epic blizzard from that The VD storm of 2007 was a great storm here, once again, it just failed hitting epic. We had 8.5" of snow, 2 ft drifts, and temps in the low teens throughout the storm.***** BTW, it is just awesome out there. The powder snow is flocking on the trees and blanketing the deep carpet of snow already on the ground. Looks like some spots in SE MI will have between 5-6", Ill probably end up between 4-5". Avg snow depth is 15" right now, deepest since Jan 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Went out for a drive in it. Flakes are fairly small but dense. Almost of moderate intensity but not great at accumulating. I'd say we're still under an inch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
