Stebo Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hell might be too high with my inch or less for the first part, might need to downgrade to half inch or less especially if it is just a virga storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Will be lucky to see anything more then a dusting. Forecast needs to be adjusted its Pretty darn dry out and precip shield way to the north. -3 currently via car thermo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 we had heavy snow and 9F here... it added up insanely fast this evening (heaviest snow by far this year at one point)... a few too many drinks at the Christmas party, so everything was a little blurry, but it sure looked like a lot when we went home...

cyclone77 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Most of the clippers so far this season have been pretty wimpy. Hopefully the clippers grow some balls as we head into Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Up here just east of St. Paul and it was ripping for a good 2 hours straight. Picked up about 4 inches. Terrible road conditions for those going to church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 First batch of snow is pretty much done, with only 0.1". O well there's more winter yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it will amount to much but there is persistent light returns showing up on KDVN. Still good warm advection ongoing across the cwa and a 60 kt 500 mb jet streak over eastern IA according to the mesoanalysis page. The aviation forecaster on duty tonight indicated -sn potential from 9-12z in the tafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think some lake enhancement is possible once the band moves through (after about 18z). Sfc flow is out of the SE with nice saturation through 700mb. Inversion height sets up just above the 850mb mark which is a decent look for these types of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Decent round of snow showers this morning. Coated the ground and made for a nice Christmas morning mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the high ratios, probably 2-3"/hr rates in the heart of the band. Sucks that SE flow fringes Etobicoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is a general 2-5cm across the GTA from the clipper with locally higher amounts of up to 10cm in the LES areas. Where do you suppose the LES band will set-up?
