cyclone77 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Freezing rain/sleet is quickly changing over to snow now. So far about 0.1 of sleet, trace of freezing rain/snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Friend in Bradford, ON reports 1/2" if ice... Wow amazing picture. Incredible icing. My cars are literally covered in sheets of ice. Couldnt see out the rear windows -_- How is it down your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Been all snow here for 90 minutes about. 31.8° imby. Flurries have built into a steady -SN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 YYZ now down to -1.2C (29.8F) and toronto island at last report was sitting at -0.5C (31.1F). Radar shows the heaviest bands near Kitchener/Guelph area. I expect them to start-up in the GTA within the next 30-45mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan45 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Wow amazing picture. Incredible icing. My cars are literally covered in sheets of ice. Couldnt see out the rear windows -_- How is it down your way? Not as bad but power outages are closing in around us. Down to -1 which is good, I don't want plain rain. My contacts are out so I can see anything but it sounds pretty crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 NAM hires 'ing out! 12" lollipop over Wauwatosa. BowMe would be doing some serious shoveling if this came true. NAMhires_122213.png I suppose it's unlikely, but half of that might be doable. Snow starting to form and spread in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I suppose it's unlikely, but half of that might be doable. Snow starting to form and spread in. Chicago wx pointed out part of it is LES on Christmas Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Geos, what's the scale on this? I don't know about scale, but it's probably the 99th percentile map lol. (j/k Geos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Temps continue to cool. I estimate between .4-.5" of ice in central Etobicoke. Feel very fortunate that I haven't lost power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Snow has begun here... Heavier returns just to the west. We'll see if we can get the 6-8" to materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Here you go, big map with a scale: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/NAMSFC4US_0z/snow60.gif It is a 60 hour total, FYI.

madwx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Gotcha. Enjoy the snow! You too! I was pessimistic about our chances of 6" earlier but with the way the radar has filled in over the past few hours, I've gotten new hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Radar filling in nicely across the gap that existed a short while ago. Driveway is white.

cyclone77 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Snowing pretty nicely here now with some pretty large flakes. Big change from the dry/fluffy snow that we've seen a lot of this season so far. Probably looking at a good 3-4" here when it's all said and done, which fits in my 3-6" original call nicely.

Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Flakes size steadily increasing as heavier returns move in. 0.2" with the sleet I'd say. 31.6°. I wonder if any of the Ontario posters have power now?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Places just north and west of Toronto are going to be in for an apocalyptic ice storm. Probably a once in 100 year storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontonian Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Temps continue to cool. I estimate between .4-.5" of ice in central Etobicoke. Feel very fortunate that I haven't lost power The thing i am noticing now as the ZR is becoming more moderate, is that the northeast wind is increasing. Just checked winds in S. Ontario. At 1 am Hamilton was NE 49 km/hr with gusts to 62 km/hr. Hope to stay awake when heavy winds and heavy ZR occur here in T.O soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
