Snowstorms Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Snow should continue falling till Mid night atleast. About 4cm down in my area.....grass is completely covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Steady wet snow here in northern Scarborough. Side roads are snow covered. Pine trees look amazing covered in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Several areas with snowfall rates of 1-2cm over the GTA according the King City radar. Sounds like some of you are having more snow in a couple hours than I have had all afternoon and evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like some of you are having more snow in a couple hours than I have had all afternoon and evening. It was coming down really hard about an hour ago. Now it's a high end -SN. I'd say we have about 3-4cm (~1.5") on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 About 1.25 is about what's on he ground, plus another .25" from the morning adds up to 1.5". Could have been worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a couple periods of large heavy flakes but for the most part real fine dust falling. In the last hour it's really picked up again. I just measured 2" on the deck, 1.2" on the patio table, and 1.5" on the sidewalk. Guess we've had over 2"... which is 5.1cm. Excellent. Really needed this big time. Well, my unofficial totals. Hopefully there will be a weather summary or info release from the U of W tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say we have about 3-4cm (~1.5") on the ground. well its turned back to drizzle/very light snow. though it was able to coat the trees and put a thin layer on the grass. cement mostly a very wet slush. It appears the stuff back towards london/K-W is winding down as well. Cant complain, however, if it doesnt get cold soon, not very much will survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an uncanny otter Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Snow is tapering off here, should be over within the next couple of hours. Ended up with a slushy 0.5". Definitely a disappointing storm here - we got screwed over by both the dry slot and being *just* too warm. Managed to pick up nearly an inch of rain. I will hand it to EC and TWN, they nailed the snowfall totals for my area at least. Even when the models were showing at least 5 cm here, they kept insisting that it would be too warm for mostly snow to fall, and they were right. Seasonal total now stands at 5.2".

SpartyOn Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 lol This pattern has been awesome what am I thinking to suggest a pattern change... It appears a change is around the corner. If tonights Euro follows the 12z we all need to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 It's gonna end up being about 2" here. On the low end of my call. Thermals behaved the way I thought they would but the deformation zone didn't end up being as impressive as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 we've actually switch to light rain here after about 2.5 inches, and will have to wait it appears for a couple hours for the storm to pass by to switch back to snow, but as mentioned the backside does not look very impressive right now, may struggle to reach the lower end 4 inches of my call at YOW unless defo gets its act together.

London snowsquall Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The lawn is snow-covered again, so at least it looks vaguely wintry outside. The Christmas decorations look so much better in the snow. Probably an inch or two at most for accumulation so far, but we'll see if LES can add anything to that total overnight. Looks like it may be trying according to EC radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone had their lights on by 8pm on my street. Last night only a couple houses were lit up. It's wonderful out there. The sound of shoveling, the crunch on compact snow under your feet...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sort of worked out for the best that it wasn't colder. Otherwise, this storm would have been hyped massively and would have ended up a tremendous bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoFabulous Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 GOod rates were key with this thing. Although totals aren't in yet I'm assuming places from IND-Muncie northward got a general 2-4". They were under some good bands for a while. I'd say that's about right. Generally seeing 2" in the Indy area, 3" at the house on the west side of Muncie, but there were a couple heavier bands on the east side of the city. The airport on the north side is reporting 0.45 liquid for the day. Roads stayed mostly clear, but they're wet and gonna be nasty slick tomorrow.

michsnowfreak Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Storm total of 0.35" precip, and 0.7" snowfall, though snow on the grass right now is a little less. Probably 90% of the precip was snow, but with temps of 33-34 the snow just did not stick much. Its a shame as it was snowing so beautifully all day, like a snowglobe with the big flakes and calm wind...had a slushy coating early, it "washed" away with lighter snowfall rates, and then the snow finally started slushily re-sticking around 3pm. Interesting that I was in Dearborn tonight and theres no snow on the grass, and I know as close as Farmington theres a good inch on the ground. All in all, a disappointment but not really a surprise. More snow fell to the west and east of me. This was our 7th measurable snowfall since Nov 30th. If I were to grade December on pattern performance, Id actually give it a B+, simply because we have squeezed out way more snow than we "should" have in this atrocious pattern. From a sensible weather perspective however, Dec gets a D-. Im just so glad that per euro and gem the light at the end of the tunnel is nearing.

Im going to have to give it a A- considering how awful this winter has been in the GL/MW Region. 10.4" of snow so far this season. Last year at this time 12.2".

All of the thinner areas of snow, slopes and around trees, is pretty much gone now. I'm on the west side of Anderson. Seeing the same thing over there?

Seeing the same thing over there? We've got a little more hanging on. The evergreens in the back still have a decent amount of snow, but not so much that they're leaning on the power lines. There are clear patches of grass, but the lawns are still mostly snow. All of the roofs still have their snow as well. All in all, if this were the 25th, I'd still consider it to be a white Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 he's in Toronto. 1.6" here according to my ruler. I beat you by a whole 0.4". I measured 0.2" at 7 AM, 1.4" at 1 PM, and another 0.4" at 7 PM, for a grand total of 2.0". Looks like I was in the "screw zone" as most reports around here were higher (2.5" - 3.0") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to have to give it a A- considering how awful this winter has been in the GL/MW Region. 10.4" of snow so far this season. Last year at this time 12.2". Well, almost hit my "solid 2 inches" goal yesterday. Measured 1.9" just as the heavier stuff was coming to an end around 1 pm. Light rates and warm temps all afternoon meant more melting than adding. Looks like about 50% of what fell is still on the ground this morning. As noted by MiSnFreak, some of us have had great success despite being in a crappy pattern this past month. Just nice to see white ground/trees/streets and the snow coming down yesterday to make it feel like real winter. Especially at the holiday season!
