Dec 5-6 Round Two? NAM brings "sling-shot" Upper Low into SW and the fun has just begun!

[Ajdos]

not sure what to think, moisture is waning.. so we will see..

::sigh:: looks like the moisture is losing to the "dry air" that has worked its way in

[Organizing Low]

winds have shifted NNW in ottawa the past couple hours and temps are slowly falling back now, still well above freezing though in the low 40s.

looks like cold air lurks up the ottawa valley, pembroke now with a dewpoint of 28.

changeover time is modeled to be around midnight. noticed that the models 'hang' the precip back more and more, so could be a 'light' accumulation possible.

here in MTL, we've got a long wait to get to freezing sometime tomorrow, maybe some slush in the city.

34 degrees at my house and falling. What a nice surprise this could turn out to be

Hey TJ take a look at the HRRR... 4-6" lol

Hoping for a couple of slushy inches later this evening. If it happened it'd help ease the blow of potentially have to endure another EC snowstorm before we've even seen one.

I'm on the northern fringe of the city, so I'm hoping for an inch or two as well.

The east coast has been hammered by snow the past two years. The weather really has turned topsy turvy since February 2009. Places you wouldn't expect to see get a lot of snow (mid-atlantic, all 50 US states, France, UK) while places that are supposed to get it, and in many respects rely on it for tourism, see a snow drought.

[Snowstorms]

I'm thinkin 2-5cm currently along the lakeshore and 4-10cm across the Northern regions.

It should relieve a bit of the pain from another East coast snowstorm possible

Pretty bold. I'd probably half those considering how the models are typically too quick in rain>snow scenarios. But unlike yesterday, I'm now thinking we at least get something.

Ha I saw that and it's actually quite believable. Heavy sleet falling at my house right now and since the sun went down that temp has been just plummeting. Looking at how fast the air is freezing in the area I'd say we're at all snow in the next 45-90 minutes. Problem is there is no salt on the roads and if someone did put salt down it was washed off by the rain

[nwohweather]

Current rain/snow line stretches from Defiance to Bowling Green and then curves around to Eastern Ottawa County into metro Toledo. This stuff is very heavy too, yellow returns coming back on the radar

The only rain to snow scenario that I can remember really delivering is the storm early last march in Ottawa. Heavy rain changed to snow and gave us 6"!

[Chicago WX]

FWA flipped to snow at 6PM. They could do well.

Meanwhile, chances of seeing any snow here are nil. Still in the low 40's with just a little more rain to go before it moves east.

[AppsRunner]

Already a solid 1/2 or 2/3" of snow in the last 45 minutes or so... really not sure why local mets and NWS are going for "little to no accumulation" here... lol

[snowstormcanuck]

Down to 37. Still -RA

[Stebo]

I wouldn't be surprised if some areas of DTX's CWA end up with 2-3" especially along the East side. The radar is filling in nicely to the Southwest of the city and we look to at least have a good 6-10 hours of snowfall. Just need temps to drop a touch so it can stick more. That being said though I already have a coating on the lawn/cars here in Eastpointe.

Areas like Hillsdale shouldn't have a problem with that... they've had snow since 3PM. I already have .75-1" here in the last 2 hours.

[michsnowfreak]

Snowing SO beautifully outside! And everything is getting white now, so no more "wasted" qpf lol. About the only problem now is hoping dews stay below 30 once the storm passes, as temps look to stay steady all night.

[on_wx]

Just went though London ON on the train...heavy accumulating snow

[snowstormcanuck]

Down to 35 at 8pm. Went outside and still all rain.

[an uncanny otter]

The rain finally switched over to snow here at about 7 pm, and its had no trouble accumulating. We're at about half an inch on everything but the roads and it's showing no signs of stopping. Couldn't have asked for better weather on my birthday

[hm8]

Mod SN now, beginning to stick nicely.

[on_wx]

Down to 35 at 8pm. Went outside and still all rain.

Just checked the metars out of ykf...last 3 readings -SN and 1.5mm/hr. Wonder whag it'll be like when I get there

[IWXwx]

It has been snowing nicely since 6 PM here SW of FWA. It is just now covering the grass though. Nice, big flakes looks very cool with a backdrop of Christmas lights.

[Chicago WX]

Weenie radar, but anyways...

Sigh.

Oh, so close...

[Ajdos]

Huge flakes, heavy snow here in Sterling Heights, close to 1"..Snow is starting to stick on the pavement 2..

TEMP IS at 31.9

Down to 35 at 8pm. Went outside and still all rain.

Wet snow now falling in my sector of the big Smoke. Temperature down to 33F.

Yep, 90% snow here now. Let's see how this plays out.

[Ajdos]

Streets/Roads have become snow covered, that slushy snow, not good to drive on. 1.5" of snow so far.
