I'm glad to see those to my north and northwest are getting some nickles and dimes to build their base, except for bo. He's just getting buried.

 

I've just been getting fringed by these clippers down here for pennies and nickles. 0.1" and 0.2" for the 2 clippers yesterday and look to get missed to the north by today's.

 

Oh well, it would all be gone by Saturday here anyway.

Went to shovel at 7am before I headed out to boxing day sales and measured another 1.3" last night, awesome. Brings back all the snow-cover i lost this past week. 

 

Given yesterdays 2.0" and today's 1.3", this brings my two day total to 3.3" (8.3cm). Definitely a nice surprise. :)

 

Happy Holidays!

I had 0.2" yesterday (wave 1) and 1.2" today (wave 2). Nice to see a completely white landscape quickly return after a 3-day hiatus of a T, but I won't lie, its a bit annoying that ever since I jackpotted in the December 14th snowstorm, the northern suburbs have been hogging all of these minor snowfalls! Actually even south of me into monroe got slightly more than here. Basically forecast was spot on here and a slight overperformer elsewhere. There is one more wave coming tonight, lets see if third times a charm.

It's going to be awhile before we lose our snow cover completely. Steady -SN here now. Big flakes.

 

Saturday though will go a long way toward that unfortunately, perhaps even in Milwaukee, but especially in areas that have only cashed in on clippers recently, since all their snow will be light and fluffy.

In my driveway... the van, which was clean last evening as of about 7PM, had 4" of delightfully fluffy snow on top of it. The driveway, another thing altogether. Last shoveled Sunday afternoon. There was three inches of wet snow that fell since Sunday, with a little over 3.5" of fluffy stuff on top. It wasn't fun shoveling this stuff, so much so that I dug our old electric snowblower out of the shed to deal with it. It still took me about 2 hours, but I was overdressed when I started, so I lost 20 minutes taking a wardrobe change. 

 

Overall, we had a very pretty Christmas here, decent, sparkling snow and glistening trees that looked like they had light emitting diodes in them when the light hit them. 

 

Winds picked up some today enough to blow some snow off the trees but not really gusty. We lost a small branch or two but nothing destructive. That said, we got out for the first time yesterday afternoon, driving to Christmas dinner. I was astonished at the amount of trees damaged and down... it was a lot worse than I figured it would be. Not nearly as bad as the pics show in Ontario, but pretty bad nonetheless.

 

We were extremely lucky that our power held here... there are several hundred to a couple thousand homes still dark within a mile radius, including a few still on our street. Last I heard there was still like 110k people still without power in Michigan. Consumer's Energy and DTE Energy outage maps are still lit up pretty good, especially DTE in Lapeer County.

I highly doubt Milwaukee or even here will get much past 36°. The dewpoints will be low too, so the snowcover will be able to hang surround itself with colder air.

 

Solid 10" otg after compaction.

Our snow pack here is weird, about 8" by eyeball. I scooped up a chunk in the yard earlier. The bottom has about an inch of coarse ice crystals which look like rock salt. Then, an air gap about 1/2" to the top of the grass. There is 1/4" crust of white ice, then cement snow around 2"thick with about 3" of fluffy snow on top of that. It's really odd feeling to walk on it as that ice layer sometimes gives and compresses that air gap under it.

Given there's little to no snow once you get south of I-88...It's going to be mild.

 

GFS begs to differ. Taft was saying 45°. Now that sounds too high for ORD... maybe MDW.

 

Usually when snow starts melting, clouds form. Point here down to 40°.

Yet another round of -SN currently.

Looks like another 1-1.5" down from the second clipper. I assume that these are the biggest flakes of the season falling right now. Could go over 4" between the two rounds. Not bad at all.

It looked absolutely stunning out there today. A photographer's dream, possibly a once or twice in a lifetime photo opportunity (the ice on the trees coupled with the fresh snow and sunshine).

So how much snow is on the ground in Toronto? Get out and take pics guys! I imagine the trees were stunning.

 

I did a little photoshopping from this morning snow. Got a new camera for Christmas which I havent opened yet, hoping for lots of pic opportunities this winter :)

The trees are beyond stunning, especially after last night's snowfall. I just have to remember how to reduce the size of a picture file before I can upload it here.

 I'm going to downtown tomorrow to watch the Hockey game at the ACC :D. I'll take some pictures. Still over 40,000 people without power in the city. 

 

And in my area I have about 6.5-7" on the ground. The trees looked beautiful this morning. A picture perfect scene, no doubt. I must say, it was the best Christmas in a while. 

 

Hbu?
