Chicago WX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 cmon round 2 and tomorrow for laf! stoopid toronto is doing me no bet favors tho. Better stuff will probably go just north of here. But we'll tack on another 0.5" probably. Euro looks good for MKE...what 0.40"? That should fluff up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There is a 25 car pile-up with multiple injuries near the Forest(Sarnia/Lambton County ON) exit on the 402 according to CBC tweets. The OPP are asking drivers to stay off the roads now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 not much more. Somewhere in 1-1.5" range Light to moderate snow falling in downtwon Toronto. About an inch down already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should fluff up nicely. I bet we make a run at 3" (if we start at the 1.5" measurement in West Laf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy eh how a minimal alberta clipper is causing this much havoc across the province. Guess for some areas this is their first legitimate snow event...sort of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 not much more. Somewhere in 1-1.5" range Really wish and was hoping this one friday could have cut NE instead of just heading out to sea.. figures no effin blocking all winter yet another storm finds a way to screw with you. Better stuff will probably go just north of here. But we'll tack on another 0.5" probably. Euro looks good for MKE...what 0.40"? That should fluff up nicely. looking like we could get 6" if euro is right and with it being a calmer event mke wont come in on the low side like when its windy in most storms we get. La Crosse and MKE could be tied up at around 16" come saturday... bet number one is all but over like the packer game early in the 4th qtr last sunday.

KokomoWX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I bet we make a run at 3" (if we start at the 1.5" measurement in West Laf). I'm going for 3" too. I just measured 2" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Light to moderate snow falling in downtwon Toronto. About an inch down already. Nice.

La Crosse and MKE could be tied up at around 16" come saturday... bet number one is all but over like the packer game early in the 4th qtr last sunday. Well at worst we tie. Long ways to for #2.

It's ok. I'm at peace with it. We're in a long term rut over here and ain't nothing going to shake us loose from it any time soon. Once the snow stops today I'm going to take a nice break from this all. No point standing in a desert waiting for grass to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Snow squall warning for EVERYONE! lolz! I just saw that. They're using that warning like Quebec does: to indicate brief but very heavy snow and/or gusty winds, rather than LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using that warning like Quebec does: to indicate brief but very heavy snow and/or gusty winds, rather than LES.

BowMeHunter Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's ok. I'm at peace with it. We're in a long term rut over here and ain't nothing going to shake us loose from it any time soon. Once the snow stops today I'm going to take a nice break from this all. No point standing in a desert waiting for grass to grow. I wait 7+ months for all the winter talk and excitement to heat up on the board like a child waiting up or who can't fall fall asleep on christmas eve in anticipation of what santa brings this yr and sadly most have woken xmas morning to fruit cake or coal.. A break is not a bad thing (easy for me to say) for you and for those of us who love to read yours and others post who are lacking this winter its a big disapointment.. Good thing is you will come back refreshed and there is still plenty of time left to weenie out to a good finish to winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
