Stebo Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Started snowing here about 10 minutes ago, the vis is dropping pretty quickly too. Small flake size currently. 22/11 a bit of a depression at the surface though that should close very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 0615z ~1.5" on the sidewalk. If that's right, that's just 0.3" in the last 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I tried to give MKX the doubt on this one, but no more. If they are even slightly , I will call them out. My initial call of 2-4" is still what I will go with for the metro as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 EURO still looks nice for my old home.Yeah it spits out the same it had in previous runs (5-8"). With the cold temperatures, ratios should be high. LES is still a bit iffy on this. Could go either way depending on the winds. Its too bad you"ll be missing this one.. First snowstorm prior to Christmas since 2008 LOL.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP is also now indicating the LES band getting into the southern half of Toronto proper. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. I have my doubts about how far north the LES gets. This is based on the placement of the surface low and its effect on wind direction and also that the 4km NAM has done quite well with easterly flow events in the past and it hasn't budged on its more southerly solution.

Euro remains bullish on its LES idea with little change from the 12z. Have you determined which of the shorter range models has better accuracy of late and in general? At this point in time, 10-15cm is a good call for the GTA. Would not surprise me if some regions get more (15-20cm) as recent models are more robust.

KeenerWx Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Two reports close to my location 1245 AM SNOW LAKE VILLAGE 41.13N 87.43W12/14/2013 E3.5 INCH NEWTON IN PUBLIC1245 AM SNOW WHEATFIELD 41.19N 87.05W12/14/2013 E3.0 INCH JASPER IN AMATEUR RADIO Looks about right. Shouldn't have much of a problem getting 1-3" more, so the 4-6" range looks pretty good. I 65 north of Lafayette is a mess. There were at least 2 semi's jackknifed between mile marker 205 and 215 in Jasper County. Traffic was at a stand still for an unknown number of miles. Spent an hour just sitting there.

Stebo Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If that band remains over Macomb, St Clair and Wayne counties someone is going to get a nice surprise. Certainly looks like it is snowing much harder back home right now. Currently here at DTW I am at 1 1/2SM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
