snowstormcanuck Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Flake size is starting to increase. Still low end +SN (1"/hr stuff). Think I'm going to go take a walk in the snow and grab a few pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Last band produced a quick 1.1/5, on top of my 5-6" (estimate) on the ground...total should be around 7.5" (warning criteria, not advisory) maybe a little more....hard to measure since it is wind blown snow, however I've measured a few spots up to 11" (drifts)..

Snowstorms Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Here's another one. Wtf. Either you guys are improperly measuring or I'm in a screwhole. Are any of you guys clearing your measuring surface more than once per 6 hours? I measure 3 times a hour in 5-7 different places, idk about the other guys. I actually have a area built just for measuring snowfall. Its always accurate because they're aint any drifting possible in that area. I believe Pearson is up to 15cm now. It was about 6cm 2-3 hours ago, not including yesterdays 3cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dear god... Meltdowns occuring in the NE and NYC subforum because they may get less than 2 feet. lol. In all honesty, I expect some insane snow totals from out there. Finished with 5" on the dot last night. quite the overperformer here. Busted low with my call for mby, 4.5", and Geos 7". Seems I had the right idea that this would be a suprise storm for N IL, and that the LOT forecaster who pulled the trigger 24 hours early with a SWS was thinking along similar lines. Alek, what did you finish with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Here's another one. Wtf. Either you guys are improperly measuring or I'm in a screwhole. Are any of you guys clearing your measuring surface more than once per 6 hours? Another storm spotter in KW reported 20cm around the same time I also reported that amount. Not too sure about Toronto, but some of the regions best known storm chasers have been reporting over 20-23cm in London and Fergus. So, I don't doubt my measurements at least.

Are any of you guys clearing your measuring surface more than once per 6 hours? Ya measured about 6.5 inches total here near Queens Park. Flake size is smallish. Not living up to hype thus far.

It was about 6cm 2-3 hours ago, not including yesterdays 3cm. That's fine. Measure as often as you'd like. Just make sure not to clear where you measure more than once/6 hours. Anyway, another inch here last hour. Over 7" for the storm thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, another inch here last hour. Over 7" for the storm thus far. yeah, i make sure my measurements are accurate as possible. Thats great, I'm assuming Pearson is around the same amount. Should continue snowing for another couple of hours. Enjoy it Canuck, we deserved it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 ??? We're going to finish in the 8-12" range which is what was forecasted by almost everybody I can think of. LOL. Complaints in 10"+ events. Love it! Back end is moving through here. That should a good indication how much longer you have. Probably another 6 hrs. So Widespread 10"+ is likely.

Geos Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 10.2" was the grand total. All the snow is frozen onto the trees this morning. Going to be tough to shovel that snow that the snow plow piled up! Congrats Toronto peeps! May it be a long and snowy day for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
