snowstormcanuck Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Trench I had to dig to navigate through the backyard. Depth right by the house was closer to 16" due to snow blowing off the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We must be spoiled down here lol,they plow every 30 mins here. Buffalo, like Ottawa and Montreal, likely budgets more for snow removal than Toronto given you average almost twice as much snow as us per season.

Seen some vids out of montreal and i have to say they use some of the top of the line snow removal equipment buf airport uses to clear the runways on their streets,pretty cool!

Geos Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Sounds like a solid 11-15" in the city of Toronto...? My 13.5" call was pretty good. When or has YYZ issued the final tally yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ontario storm looks pretty comparable to the GHD Blizzard which was 13-15" by me. Difficult to measure the exact amount due to the drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZ through 7pm had 10.2". That should be close to the final as not much else has fallen since. Not sure if that includes the inch that fell yesterday, so the total may in fact be 11.2".

snowstormcanuck Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think at one point dmc called for a general 10-15" across the GTA, which turned out to be the best range. Props to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Official report is 16" in Waterloo! Unbelievable im in shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 12.2" as of 7pm. Could add a few more tenths but that should do it. Setting aside the 15"+ in 1999, these 12-13" type deals are basically what constitutes "whoppers" for YYZ. Just my 4th foot plus storm since 1997. Drifts up to 20". Looks amazing out there. I guess that makes my call of 12.9" pretty decent . Congrats guys. I'll be kicking myself for missing this one for a while. Especially considering that one 40cm report in Waterloo!

weathernut Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hamilton's Weather twitter account just posted the snow reports from YHM. Total is 32cm. Not sure why EC keeps saying 14cm. Only a few inch range difference in the Hamilton area. 32-40cm is the highest and lowest totals being reported in this area. I was hoping for 25cm. This is a great surprise.

YHM Supercell Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 32-35cm depending on where you measure here. Great storm...gonna take a few more pics in a bit. weathernut 32cm was my report Had to keep it reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 YYZ through 7pm had 10.2". That should be close to the final as not much else has fallen since. Not sure if that includes the inch that fell yesterday, so the total may in fact be 11.2". I suspect they got 27cm plus the 2cm yesterday should give a grand total of about 29-30cm or so. I measured right now, 31.9cm, and including yesterday, then 37.7cm amazing storm no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey OL. This storm reminded me of the December 16,2007 storm I experienced in Ottawa. Heavy, unrelenting snow all day - and similar snow amounts given I measured about 13" at my place today.

OntarioWX Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Anything else we get this winter is probably going to seem lame in comparison now. Not that I'd want winter to end, but I would be content if spring came next week. We're still well below our seasonal average but I'm not going to dare complain. Most forecasts I saw on this board and elsewhere were spot-on. The models did a really good job of pinpointing where the axis of heaviest snow would end up and were even pretty accurate in consistently showing 1"+ qpf for the GTA. There's already been a ton of awesome pictures posted so I'll just put up a couple more. Keep in mind that at 2am last night we still had bare ground and these pics were taken 12 hours later.

hm8 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 DTX snowmap looks good, and I just realized its the first theyve made since Jan 29th. They tend to leave out the maps when Detroit/Ann Arbor-south gets the most. Not saying all the lake enhanced stuff this week needed a map, but at LEAST Monday when The bottom 4 counties got 3-4". Ive seen them make for events as small as 1-2". The I-94 corridor got 8-12" (perhaps even a bit more in ARB..hm?) of snowfall from Jan 31-Feb 4 and not a single map. Great pics Toronto folks. Cant say Im not jealous because Im MAJOR jealous, but not a single area of this subforum has gone longer without an 8"+ storm than you, so you deserve it. 15.4" recorded at UofM since Jan 31st...although one of them was a 3.3" with .1" liquid that I'm a bit skeptical of.

I actually had a very similar amount of water content sometimes. It was very very fluffy. SSC I must have missed it..what was YBY final total? Its a shame its just another "run-of-the-mill" 10" at YYZ lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Congrats to Toronto and all Ont. that got some whopper snow amounts. Here in Mid Michigan areas got 6-11". I got 7 1/2" at my home. Not a huge amount but most this winter, no question. Now I hear rain for the end of the weekend into Monday. Crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
