Brewers Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Was looking at that little LES band up by Manitowoc just now... Sailing past 8" here. Yeah i noticed that too, winds at the surface are N now but winds at 925 and 850mb are still NE winds are pretty light though so not sure if it will amount to much.

magoos0728 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Power out in Pleasant Prairie now. Large limbs down all down my street. Dead silence interrupted by violent cracks--then a bang. Never seen snow this heavy fall so quickly. If this is what's headed for the EC...bad. Hopefully it's drier out east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Probably light snow for a lot of that time...? Be interesting to see if the EURO call for the LES to push down to west side of the lake will come true. 10" seems within reach now. --- I like your new avatar Toronto Blizzard. Lighter reflectivities are being compensated for by increased ratio from lower temps, probably 1/2" per hour rates all the way to the backside.

IWXwx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks for posting all of the great photos and reports. Enjoying seeing some around here getting hit. Good luck to the Toronto crew. Hope to see the end results here tomorrow, but I'm afraid the board will be crashed due to the EC storm. If so, enjoy the snow and see you in a couple of days.

csnavywx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Bufkits for Toronto are weenie-tastic. Max omega intersects with the DGZ and stays there for 15+ hours. They also get a moist neutral or weakly unstable layer to sneak in during the height of the storm, again right across the DGZ. If you're looking for efficient snow production, that's exactly the profile you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wouldn't get my hopes up... That's a lot of snow in a short amount of time if you think about it. I hope you do better over there than I do down here!! That's for sure. The difference between his area and yours is that you ended up in a screwzone of sorts in regards to moisture/qpf. things pick up once you get east of lansing and even moreso after 23.

Hopefully it's drier out east There's a little over a 1000 customers in the warned counties in IL that are in the dark. Just went outside and knock some snow off my white pines. Few small branches have broken here. https://www.comed.com/_layouts/comedsp/OutageMap.aspx Around 8.5" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for efficient snow production, that's exactly the profile you want. BUFKIT is an awesome tool, but it can be a bit generous with the ratios. According to BUFKIT, my climo SLR is 22:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 IU? No. But eff those bastards tonight. Huge win for the Illini. That's 3 big signature wins over Top 25 teams (Butler, Gonzaga and Indiana). Could help them make the big dance in March. Back on topic, there is a break in the snow here in Toronto. But it looks like there's another batch of snow over southwestern Ontario that's poised to move in the next 2 or 3 hours. So far, I'd say between 1-1.25 inches of snow has fallen so far.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Round 1 yielded 1.3" imby. "Bonus snow" as Anthony Farnell called it. Wouldn't be surprised if that's it until after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
