michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I did very well considering what I was expecting here. Had a fall today of 1.9" of fluffy snow (water 0.10")...lol this was more lake-effect-like than our actual lake effect this week . The snow is already settling some as its very dry....and I also seem to be one of the higher totals, at least for the southern CWA. It was those big flakes that took over the pixie dust that really helped the cause. Im sure Ann Arbor was the winner though, as radar would suggest. im now off to Frankenmuth for the international SnowFest, should be awesome.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Was driving easterly into Etobicoke from work and flakes were getting fatter. Since the synoptic is done I knew something was up with the LES band. But per radar, it's still my south and east. No echoes here at all but stuff must be falling beneath the radar sweep.

You got a mesolow heading towards the northeast side of Toronto. Looks like a decent band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You got a mesolow heading towards the northeast side of Toronto. Looks like a decent band! City itself for the most part has been getting screwed but that little "arm" from the mesolow might at least drop a quick consolation inch or two, at least in the east end. 0.6" here at 5pm.

Ajdos Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It has been snowing here in Sterling Heights most of the day, lightly, however closing in on only 1". The heavier busts of snow stayed just west of I75....The heavier snow just dies once it crosses I75 lol. :./... oh well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been like this all day. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=86436'>toronto anti snow forcefield.jpg Just drove through the snow band. It's intense!! Took me 2 hours to get from Yonge Street to Port Union. Intense snow rates from Markham Road east. Massive pile up just east of the city at Newcastle apparantly. 401 closed at that point. Traffic backed up all the way from Newcastle back to west end Toronto. I hope my neighbourhood is getting some of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band extends well to the north. Impressive for an event with such light winds. Actually, areas along Highway 7 in Durham have gotten more snow from this squall than I have.

frostfern Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Nice big flakes falling here. About 2 inches in the past 2 hours or so and at least another hour to go. This fluff accumulation might beat the standing 24 hour total of 3.1" back in December. SW flow lake enhancement spreads the wealth a bit more generously than the typical NW flow. It's nice with lake effect the fluff factor actually tends to increase with temperature. Larger flakes pile up a lot faster, though it's mostly air.
