harrisale Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 WOW! Just experienced thundersnow for the first time! Incredible. Figured the winds would be solid so I decided to head out to a good place to watch. Was raining at the time. All of the sudden I see a few flakes in the headlights. Then instantly it changed to a massive wall of snow/graupel mix! Car thermometer showed a 4 degree C drop in about 30 seconds. Wow! Then parked, headed out and saw lightning and thunder. All the while with some pretty awesome winds, gusting to 60-70 km/h at least. What a night! Here's a radar image of the thundersnow line.

Beauty I heard the thunder a little after 3am but I assumed it was just TSRA and didn't even get out of bed. Then this morning I noticed there was a touch of snow on the ground and I made the connection. I'm a little shocked that this is your first time experiencing thundersnow. I know Toronto =/= Oakville, but here are the TSSN events I can recall. January 2, 1999 December 12, 2000 February 8, 2001 December 14, 2001 March 1, 2007 December 16, 2007 February 6, 2008 February 6, 2011 There are probably a couple of episodes between 2001 and 2007 as well that I'm not remembering. But assuming you've lived in Oakville the last 10-15 years, you've probably heard TSSN before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Wow 55mph at DTW. Temp hovered in the mid-40s through last evening actually completely melted my last snow pile in a shaded area of the backyard. Now my neighbor across the street is the only one Ive seen who has a snowpile left from shoveling Decembers snows. Everything else is 100% grass, just the old plow piles in parking lots. Hopefully I will not be able to say that in 24 hours. Oh and yes, on what will be a brutal day with single digit wind chills...DTW will be able to log a high of 45F set just after 1am. HATE those days! 12am- 42F 01am- 44F 02am- 43F 03am- 39F 04am- 29F 05am- 25F 06am- 23F 07am- 21F 08am- 20F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Last night's midnight high evens out last weekend where it spent nearly all day in the mid 60s, but a 9 pm cold front dropped temps into the 30s, shaving 20 degrees off the low that would have been set if the front slid through a few hours later. It evens out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It evens out in the end. I remember your suggestion a while back that there should be some sort of better way to calculate the "mean" temp than just high and low averaged. Thats true. To be fair though, for here it seems we ALWAYS have these midnight type of highs, way more than the situation you had last week in the 60s.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Incredible winds in Toronto this morning. Had a few squalls move through as well. I think Tuesdays high will be colder than EC currently expects, particularly with a NE winds forecast to develop Monday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
