Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 We officially have our first observation of snow: Antigo, WI 32/32 light snow. What I wouldn't give to be located NW of Green Bay tonight to observe steady rain changing to snow in mid-late April. Mesonet Observations showing that whole area is about to go over to snow. More mid 30s showing up as you head south towards New London area. Merrill has just flipped over to snow. Elevation is helping Antigo likely, ~1500 ft. Wausau: 34° Stevens Point: 35° They will be next to see snow - if they aren't already starting to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Regarding the rain, snow, etc talk. For me: Accumulating snow>>>>>>>>>mood flakes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>cold rain Our last cold, miserable, soaking rain was March 30th...last mood flakes were April 10th-11th.

Toronto4 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Oh my! What a run of the 00z GFS. A monster coastal storm developing on Sunday and it goes crazy with it by Monday morning. Heavy snow in western NY/south-central Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Euro FTW? Yep, for sure. This run of the GFS is so wild that it spreads precip (snow or rain/snow mix) westward into southwestern Ontario, close to the Michigan border, and the precip changes from heavy snow to rain in Toronto Monday afternoon.

Toronto4 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 euro reminds a few just how superior it is to the american junk. Totally agree, though I still had some doubts earlier today. It was great to see the GFS trend strongly in the Euro's direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Starting to snow within 30 miles of Green Bay. Probably snowing pretty hard at Stevens Point, they're at 31° now. Yeah, I noticed the 0z GFS was way different. Looks like an interesting week coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 GFS handles the Northern stream differently on this run than any other run. It dives it further South similar to 12z Euro, still long ways away and things can and will change but this one run is a big shift that would need to be monitored. My guess is more RAOB data got infused into the models tonight thus the shift. I would say give it a couple of runs before buying hard into it because the Euro hasn't locked onto a solution yet and this is the first run the GFS has shown anything even remotely close to this. Everything else was way East of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Another nice euro run for the eastern lakes.. SSC has got to be getting a little excited and wxhstn74 is due to pop in with a link to his blog and thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 When I saw the latest NAM/GFS, I immediately thought of SSC. The NAM verbatim would be a blizzard for Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastFromTheEast Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 P When I saw the latest NAM/GFS, I immediately thought of SSC. The NAM verbatim would be a blizzard for Toronto. Anyone who knows SSC get him back to the boards!!! As modeled that is a dream scenario for him any time in winter let alone late April.. What a weird season it could be looking back. Octoblizzard to start off very early and then maybe this to end very late with pretty much nothing but dung in between the two for many all winter..

Geos Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes, SSC needs to make an appearance! This storm could be big! That would be something... an historic early snowstorm and a historic late snowstorm! Picked up 0.43" of rain from the departing storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I know canuck pops in from time to time in the off season. He will be here for sure when the flakes start flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm slowly starting to get a bit excited for the prospect of snow. Anything more then an inch for Toronto proper would be astounding. I follow Joe Bastardi on twitter lol, he loves the hype so I'm very cautious at whatever he says. I'm bad enough in Winter forecasting/ observing models let alone late april. So I'm wondering if someone has enough information to possibly say what type of amounts we could see if it verified? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 SSC is die hard snow . After this past **** box of a winter, I dont blame him for waiting or being cautious. If you read this SSC we are rooting for u and your other YYZ buddies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just need to back it further west by about 300/350 or so miles. This. No new news that I love 70s and sun but a late season blizzard would be the cats ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm sure SSC is wise enough not to get too caught up in a late April snow threat until it's already ongoing...especially coming off of this "Winter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 These posts are hilarious. Guys, it's baseball season. There's an extra wildcard position and that means my Jays actually have a remote shot of making the playoffs. This is what's important now. An even more remote chance that a slushy dusting of snow might coat rooftops Monday night means nothing to me. If anything noteworthy does develop (which it won't, but if) I'll be there with the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing, April is ending up "cooler" than March. How's it going man? When I saw the news this morning, I was like wtf? Decided to check wats good. This is from TWN, Still, some slushy accumulations are possible. Wet snow in excess of 10 cm is possible over higher terrain between Toronto and Montreal.

Did you go down to see the Indiana tornado damage back early in the spring? 6z NAM shows some pretty good snow for eastern OH. Toronto is borderline.
