Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Happy new year OB...you need to get back here ASAP....another 7cms today Yeah, you guys are having a winter up there and not just in terms of snowfall. Take a look at your temperature forecasts this week compared to mine. The canal may be ready for skating soon. I'll be visiting Ottawa one of the winterlude weekends, so hopefully the winter weather continues, although we are expecting a one week torch next week. At least there is a snowpack down here and it looks like winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Down to 7 degrees here right now, clearly my coldest night of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Down to 7 degrees here right now, clearly my coldest night of the year. 10 degrees here, should drop even further with calm winds and the snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice Pics Subzero and LEK! My snow is all blown to hell so not so pretty when it ranges from 5 inches to 30 inches blown in the fields. But a pretty consistet 15-18 inches in the woods where I was snow shoeing today. The GFS is unexciting, but keeps enough nw flow to save us from any real mild wx, then a brief thaw as a low cuts followed a big reload of the trough into the east hours 240 onward.

SR Airglow Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Happy new year everyone! Just got back from Whiteface and it was fantastic, almost everything is open which for christmas week is pretty rare. they got 30" over the break including 24" from the big storm and another 6" from the 30th event.

heavy_wx Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Bottomed out at -13f this am. The low here was 3F. It will be interesting to see if we get below 0F tonight as those mid/high level clouds erode away and we get ridging at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying MXZ Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Finally made it below 0 at -0.1° at 5:30. Had a nice suprise of 2.7" of total fluff snow yesterday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Down to -6F here, right at the morning low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just a bit colder here. The low here was a frigid -19F. Still -15F and some light flurries or maybe they are ice crystals wafting down. The sky is about half clear, but some patchy clouds have encroached in the west now. Finally made it below 0 at -0.1° at 5:30. Had a nice suprise of 2.7" of total fluff snow yesterday afternoon.

winter_rules Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Quite the difference! I wonder if we had some clouds or wind to keep our temp up? Head a little farther west to the Trout Creek/Masonville area and I'm pretty sure it was 9* with light snow and cloudy skies at 5:45 this am. I didn't turn a light on but that's what my squinting told me....now I'm questioning if it could have been -9f* but it didn't feel quite that cold. ~80 miles apart with a 28* difference! Impressive.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I hope you guys waived goodbye to winter for the next 8 to 10 days. "We'll always have late December" We've already had double the winter that was last year and its only 2 weeks into winter. As long as the lake is not frozen I have hope for a large LES event if we can get some decent conditions! Already had an epic synoptic snowstorm, if we can get a good LES snowstorm it would be a perfect winter! Have done enough boarding and snow mobiling the last 2 weeks that I can take a break for a few weeks. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I saw an obs from a guy somewhere in Duanesburg of -15F so yeah being on your hill was milder. That person must be lower down in Duanesburg. Wow. It's an amazing what a small difference in elevation can do. I only fell to -4 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looks winter-like through Monday to me. Here in ENY we may not be too mild even on Tuesday. So I plan on enjoying winter with my daily 2 mile snowshoe, etc. until it actually gets milder. Looks like the thaw will be pretty damaging to our snow then, but hopefully get replenishment fairly quickly with a gradient pattern setting up. I hope you guys waived goodbye to winter for the next 8 to 10 days. "We'll always have late December" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
