Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Measured between 10-12" on my driveway, being sure to be away from drifts. It's 12" at the top of the driveway, before in slants down to the road, so i'm thinking that's the more accurate one. Amazing storm! Been shoveling for the past hour, but can't keep up with the snow.

WestCoaster Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Doesn't look like this will move out for a while. GTA will certainly surpass a foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My neighbour who's a teacher pulled into her driveway around 1 o'clock so I guess they let the kids out early. Hope so it'd be ridiculous to send the kids out into this weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioWX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 At McMaster University. There's around 27cm on the ground here. Can't even describe how amazing it looks outside. Best winter storm I've seen since March 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Congrats to all the southern Canada posters. I got nothing but some modest rain out of this system, which I really didn't mind, but I'm enjoying following it as it dumps on a lot of others to the east. It sounds like the Toronto area was long past due for a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 We picked up 12 to 15 inches in this area. With that on top of the snow we already had on the ground....it is quite the winter wonderland! Just about 9" here. Pretty uniform and not quite as varying as where you live.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 lol at EC for reporting only 8" at Pearson and Buttonville. I measured a foot on an even surface about an hour ago. And it was fresh snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Looks like the Renforth line is clear now cp24 was following it for a while those trucks were having trouble getting up the ramp. Also, tweets indicating there is a multi-vehicle accident on the 402 at Mandaumin Line east of Sarnia -- multiple fire departments responding.

And it was fresh snow. They may, may, not be including yesterday's accumulation in the tallies. But nothing surprises me with Pearson. Buttonville is usually better. snow starting to pick up again. My deck is slowly becoming completely submerged in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nice report written up by GRR. Blackrock was definitely the winner in the western Lakes. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/images/grr/presentations/Storm_Summary_February_7th_and_8th_2013_2013-02-08_17-26-08.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been mentioning on the local news how there haven't been many plows out yet, not even on the main highways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
