cyclone77 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Today's little clipper might end up being the highlight of the week for eastern Iowa and western Illinois. RAP/NAM/HRRR/GFS all show a broad swath of 0.05-0.10" of precip by tonight. With ratios of 20-30:1 in this very cold environment we could fluff up a few inches in some areas. It will be nice to cover the existing grungy looking snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Toronto posters, I say 3:1 odds this produces more snow at YYZ than the "main" storm. Any takers? I'll just write in TorontoBlizzard as a yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I second that. Could be a good 2-4cm with this clipper. Add me in too. Tomorrow morning is looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Looks like 1-1.5" maybe tonight. Maybe enough to push my seasonal total to 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just write in TorontoBlizzard as a yes. Yeah main system goes too far south. Clipper should be good for 4-6cm. That's my call anyway, feeling optimistic with good ratios.

Chinook Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This is kind of an interesting situation. The low in Iowa is weakening, although producing snow. The low at Lake Superior will be strengthening and that's what the Toronto posters are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
