wisconsinwx Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Lol, not much more than a dusting here. One of the biggest busts that MKX has ever authored. Even my 2-4" guess is going to look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 LOT seems to have nailed it from when they posted the headlines as far as the headlines verification goes....they may be a bit under as far as totals go when all is said and done across the CWA... but considering the duration of time that goes into those totals....they did a pretty solid job nailing down the headlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'd estimate 2 to 2.5" here in Eastpointe, the freeways got more and more snow covered as I got closer to home. Surface streets are a mess. Oh and to the plow guy that was plowing the shoulder of the freeway versus the freeway itself, you sir are an idiot.

stormtrackertf Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 some pics from morning jeb walk...was under 30 dbz at this time with parachutes Is that person's window rolled down in the last pic or did the snow just shimmy on down a bit?

Chitown Storm Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 just did a quick measure....i'm right around 4" here. I agree Gilbertfly, I think LOT did a nice job.

Chicago WX Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 A pathetic 2.5" at my house. I came home from high school hoops at 10:30 last night and my tracks are clearly still visible. It won't be anything like the models showed. Cheer up Debbie Jim. You'll double that when all is said and done. Oh yeah, is it ok to talk about winter now?

Chitown Storm Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 MKX headlines are still posted. They're saying 3-5" still expected through this afternoon by the lake. Riding it into the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDude Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 as of 6am had 2.8" I'm assuming we added another 0.5 or more. I am going to go over my origial guess of 3.4". Decent snow at times. I guess I should have waited to snow-blow. Filling in decently just to our NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Impressive dry slot over NW Ohio at the moment Models showed that happening for the past few days, they have that rapidly filling in by the noon hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I can't tell. It's gnarly though. Wow amazing shot Let it snow As I suspected, the EURO was onto something with that LES band and now guidance has caved in towards a better solution for the GTA. Currently temperatures are extremely cold, yyz at -14.5C, so ratios will be much higher. All in all, I could potentially see a good 15-25cm in Toronto once this storm is done. I think EC should issue a watch or warning for Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Very cool to see that band of lake effect snow moving east to west from L Ontario today after hammering NY the last several days. BUF NWS even mentions it in this morning's AFD: A POINT OF INTEREST FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW LOVERS...A NORTHEASTERLY FLOW BENEATH A STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION BASED AT 900MB IS PRODUCING A NARROW RIBBON OF MODERATE LAKE EFFECT SNOW OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE ONTARIO. THIS `REVERSE` BAND SNAKES ALONG FROM JUST NORTH OF HAMLIN BEACH TO THE HAMILTON/BURLINGTON AREA ATTHE WESTERN TIP OF THE LAKE. THIS CANADIAN LAK3 BAND IS EERILY REMINISCENT OF THE HEAVY LAKE SNOW BAND THAT PUMMELED THE HAMILTON METRO AREA DURING THE GREY CUP GAME ON NOV 24 1996. 900mb inversion. East wind LES can survive through some pretty adverse conditions. Band is kissing the Toronto shoreline but it has weakened a bit as temps aloft are warming.

I think EC should issue a watch or warning for Toronto? I think those numbers are high, at least the upper part of your range. If the band doesn't weaken too much more and sits over Toronto for a bit I could see them going with a warning. But then again, Mississauga been getting it good for a couple of hours now and they haven't expanded to include them into the warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Toledo and parts Ottawa/Sandusky counties really cashing in on the rare east wind Lake Enhancement here. Still some moderate snow further west in BG. Roads are not in great shape even though we have less than 3" from the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 17 deg and pouring snow.... What's the snow ratios like compared to what was forecasted??? As I remember temps were to be much warmer with this system than what is on the table. Radar shows a big ploom of snow exploding over lake Erie and heading this way... If the snow keeps falling like this 2 in an hour would quickly add to the totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Didn't take a measurement but looks like about 3.5" down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, Mississauga been getting it good for a couple of hours now and they haven't expanded to include them into the warning.I believe 15-20cm is a good bet, with locally higher amounts of up to 25cm. Its snowing lightly in my area too. Yeah based on the radar, Mississauga has been in the band for a while? If indeed it ends up being greater than what EC had predicted, it will get scrutinized yet again, lol. IMO, I think a snowfall warning should be issued, or atleast a watch. If conditions do get worse, it can be upgraded then to a warning. Missing out on this storm...sucks ahey? You"ll be back next weekend.
