michsnowfreak Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 DTW picked up another 0.5" with this late morning/early afternoon snow squalls, though I only managed just a dusting of 0.1". So the Jan 31/Feb 1 event total was 3.4" at DTW and 3.1" imby...very good for pure LES. The depth has settled to a crunchy 2" of powder, there are plow piles....and a clipper is on the way. Only had to have 2 days with bare ground this go around following a torch, unlike the 9 days we saw with the torch the 2nd week of January.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Northern suburbs of buffalo/niagara getting hammered Per the PNS, looks like a general 5-10" with the first round for northern Erie County. Should get round 2 later as the winds veer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 6z/12z NAM and WRF hinting at some easterly enhancement later tonight and tomorrow for Toronto. Not a huge deal but it could add up to a couple of inches. GFS/RGEM on the other hand keep winds SSW and everything offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Looks really intense on radar. Pics would be awesome. Received 5.5-6 inches in 3 hours last night here but the real show was north of here. A foot of snow by my parents house so far. Here is a few pictures my dad took. Here is latest spotter reports as well. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=buf&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF&format=ci&version=1 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/841/febles.jpg/'> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/210/febles1.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope first image is the NAM but for some reason it is showing up as the GFS. If you look in the bottom left corner it illustrates that better. Sorry for the confusion.

weathernut Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Welcome! Were you the one nicknamed "the hammer" on the accuweather forums? Yes I was. I sent over a dozen emails and never heard back from anyone. I really don't know what happened....no worries, I'm glad to be here now! Been a pretty uneventful winter, but nice to see some of the snowbelts getting hammered with LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey folks, I'm new here. From Hamilton. I got booted off accuweather but I'm not sure why, and with no reply to my many emails asking for help from the mods. Apparently their administration and organization is as top notch as their forecasts. Lol...slam. Was really happy to find this board. I'm a big weather fan and like many of you, love snow storms! Which means this isn't a great place to live. haha So far I'm impressed with Americanwx. Looks really good and well organized. Cheers Hey, Sorry to hear about that. Bigmt tried to keep us updated with your situation. Happy to see you here though, i have been posting here a bit more lately and am impressed with americanwx so far. Welcome!

snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Has there ever been a snow band from Lake Ontario which extended to Kitchener/Waterloo? There has been but I don't think much in the way of accums. Usually east wind stuff is too weak to survive to trip over the Escarpment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUC looks really interesting especially for the oshawa/whitby. cref_t7sfc_f24.png Yeah, the identification on that map is weird. Well, it's all going to come down to whether we can spawn a little low pressure reflection just to our south. It'll probably come down to nowcasting.

OntarioWX Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 We are actually getting some light/mod lake-effect snow in Hamilton right now all the way from Lake Erie. I bet that doesn't happen too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new updates on this possible Lake Ontario snowband tonight?? 18z NAM still has it, but it's rather weak looking. The rest of the models keep the winds SW and don't really get much close to the west end of L Ontario. Keep an eye on radar but it's not looking too likely IMHO.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Obviously not to the same magnitude as what's transpiring to the NE of Lk Erie now, but RAP continues to have a lake convergence band tomorrow impacting the Toronto area.

Thunder Road Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Now we're getting in on some LES here in Valpo too. Neat little piece breaking off from the main band. Looks like it'll probably pass right on through to Lake County though, so I'm not expecting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernut Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 quick question as I'm new here. Is there a thread where folks show the model runs and charts? Or do they not get used much? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
