Hoosier Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 NAM with a nice superadibatic layer near the surface here tomorrow...it may be a tad too bullish on warming though unless we somehow get some breaks in the clouds. Wraparound seems to have gotten less impressive for here on the 00z runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Super intense snowband moving through. Massive flakes, can barely see across the street. Very intense!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Snow has changed to plain rain by the lakeshore in downtown Toronto. Plain rain at Queens Park area downtown area as well. Maybe was 1/2 inch on ground between 10-11 pm now even less. Those 45 dbz on radar must had been from ice pellets. Wonder if my call of 3 inch of slush couple of days ago will even verify.....

Geos Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Band on the border of WI sneaking across further, snow increasing here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ha scratch what I just said. Just switched over to +SN again about 3 minutes ago. Models are whack with this storm. Just too many variables changing too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 For Racine? I saw the NAM had 0.5" here. 11.5" now through 11:15pm. That band on the border is so close. Wow. Still over 24 more hrs of snow on the way. You may exceed 16". Hoping the inch or so tomorrow will bump us over the 5" mark for the storm total. Marginal temps during the daytime may impact accumulation though. Today the higher rates offset the marginal temps. Tomorrow's snow will be lighter than today's.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Snow is currently more intense than anything I saw on February 8. It's an all out blizzard out there. Winds ripping, big fat dendrites falling and being blown around. Just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks to this storm, Detroit has a new precip record for 2/26. Appears to be 1.19" of liquid beating the old record for the date of 0.75" in 1936 (!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Alright 6 (or so) hours since the event began. First measurement off the snowboard: 2.75" or 7cm (6:15pm - 12:45am) About an hour or so of rainy mix may have taken that number down a little bit due to melting. Cleared, and will measure again in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Apparently the entire campus Wifi system has been knocked out along with every umich.edu website... Presumably storm related Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Gonna pat myself on the back as well. My original pessimistic all of 1-3" for the QCA wasn't really that horrible compared to the 3-4" that fell at DVN/MLI respectively. I did up the call to 3-5" after last night's abrupt change towards a wetter solution. Conservatism always works the best when forecasting snowfall totals in genreal IMO. Seems to be especially true when forecasting for the QC lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 NAM with a nice superadibatic layer near the surface here tomorrow...it may be a tad too bullish on warming though unless we somehow get some breaks in the clouds. Wraparound seems to have gotten less impressive for here on the 00z runs. Euro, a couple of runs ago, was pushing 40 for us tomorrow. Might not be unreasonable. At least we can give up the snow dream, as it looks like not much is gonna happen here. Light snow, mixed with rain, amounting to nothing. Final. Over and out.

mimillman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like my call of 2-5 down here worked out ok. I'm excited to see if the lake can produce tomorrow, a la NAM, but well see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's snow will be lighter than today's. I'm going to be tired of shoveling snow tomorrow! 12" now or a hair over. I see it is snowing back into Iowa a ways yet.

harrisale Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Now seeing some of the heaviest snow of the night again. Can't decide if I love or hate this storm haha. Even heavier now since I took this video about 10 mins ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just measured 4-5". Fun to watch the mesoscale vortex come in off Lake Michigan, the local weather is being controlled by the 'spiral' bands of the thing. Looks like some really good steady snows on the east side of the vortex, everyone in southern Wisconsin should cash in on that. Band on the southwest side of the vortex has been pummeling Madison.

harrisale Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hamilton hitting the dryslot pretty soon. Backside snows looks promising. So my current theory is that the TROWAL was so warm with this system that it actually prevented precip from falling as snow at times, and thus the rains so far north around here.

WestCoaster Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Finally heavy wet snow with super gusty winds return to downtown. 2 hours of rain killed our 1"; time to start again, but considering this is so up and down I'm ready for more disappointment. It started out so good, too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 lol nice job man Wow that's very impressive... 18.9" is nearly my season total here but at least someone's getting stuff this year unlike last year Sometimes the difference between SE MI and NW OH is insane. After getting 2" of concrete tonight I am now at 18.9" on the month myself, and 41.0" on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
