Toronto4 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Light to moderate snow continues to fall in downtown Toronto. Just over 3" has fallen so far with more to come. A nice surprise and somewhat makes up for Friday's disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Looks like between 2-2.5" 2.5 As for at my house, I'd say around an inch maybe 1.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice surprise and somewhat makes up for Friday's disappointment. 3.3" here as of midnight. 0.3" from this morning, and 3" from this evening. Borderline +SN right now. Torontonian said he had 3" as of a couple of hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontonian said he had 3" as of a couple of hours ago. I was using the eye-ball method, so I'm probably underestimating the snowfall measurement. Environment Canada has updated the forecast for Toronto and it has increased the snowfall amounts to 2-4" (5-10 cm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environment Canada has updated the forecast for Toronto and it has increased the snowfall amounts to 2-4" (5-10 cm). Yeah, I noticed that. Probably still too low. Most of us will at least finish with 4". Funny thing about the snow is that visibility was lower a couple of hours ago when it was that granier snow, but accumulation rates were meager. This snow we're getting now, aside from the last 15 minutes, which is high end moderate by my estimation, has been light with higher visibilities, but the huge flake size has made for excellent accumulation efficiency.

I think there is some lake enhancement going on. The winds were from the ESE for the last few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain Torontonian's amounts. Looking at KC radar though, it looks like the heavy returns are pretty widespread. But I wouldn't count out some embedded streamers.

Moneyman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 EURO has gone NW quite a bit as well. MKE gets .3-.4 QPF maybe? of all snow. Racine is in the .5-.75 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same idea as the GFS, maybe a touch south of that. Bottom line, this should be a decent event. Maybe a WWA, maybe a WSW, depending on moisture. And, of course, last minute track tweaks may change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 EURO has gone NW quite a bit as well. MKE gets .3-.4 QPF maybe? of all snow. FZRA to snow. QPF: 0.39" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Moneyman, what do you think the nightshift will do? Perhaps a WWA, with the possibility of a last minute upgrade to a warning, should 6+ amounts continue to look more likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 FZRA to snow. QPF: 0.39" Not as cold as the GFS, if that's the case. Given the GFS cold bias, that probably makes sense. Who knows though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a WWA, with the possibility of a last minute upgrade to a warning, should 6+ amounts continue to look more likely? Bow and I was just discussing this. The best thing for them to do is wait for the 12z models and see what they show and then decide on a warning or WAA etc. A 30 mile shift in either way is going to make a huge difference. Plus this is the only run that has been showing this. Maybe issue a SWS and highlight the possibility of a winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hmmm Euro gives us some snow this run, didn't see what it gave us last run. Since we wont be getting any elevated hailers I will take SN lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Just a thought: could this be the snowcover factor at work? I know areas to the south of the Great Lakes have some snow on the ground as well, but we just got about 4 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 4.5" through 02.20. Snow's lightened up a fair bit now and radar returns are starting to diminish. Complete redemption for Friday's bust however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe issue a SWS and highlight the possibility of a winter storm. nothing happens. nothing really to see here in my drunk opinion like i said to you. sure, hit some miracle chance in sws but I don't live in detroit where the snow is going to snow. up to 59" with today's snow even though money man stole me the jackpot. nice little pack out there built again even though I missed the bigs last weekend. Glad I didn't change my avatar.. Maybe it still has some power in it even after the 20" blizzard and packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneyman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 6z NAM crushes Milwaukee. At HR 27 it has .5 QPF of all snow from E. IA into S. WI. Farther north then 0z by a little bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
