blizzardof96 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Perhaps a good sign? Maybe. Lets see! You have a link where we can monitor changes in temperatures just above the SFC? I'm more lenient on temperature departures around 925mb. Definitely not a bad sign. Try this link for 925's, 850's as well as many other goodies. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=16# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pressure falls jogging east sfc_con_3pres.gif I think this would suggest a slightly longer period of snow for the GTA before the eventual changeover to rain as the low moves north. The longer it takes for the low to make the turn north, the better chance of seeing more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The latest 19z RAP has 3-5" of snow for the GTA before the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 And the heavy rates have commenced. bring it on! 1/8 mile vis +SNFZFG at DTW ETA: Boom. Down 3 degF to 27F in one hour at ARB. Snow will fluff up nicely here on out I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1vek Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yup, it is bombs-away here in Royal Oak. Won't see the massive totals north and west of here, but still should be a very productive night for snow here on the 696 corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Seems to have temporarily tapered off in my area after almost two hours of snow. Hopefully it picks up again soon.

RobertSul Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I love the gradual increase of snow intensity and wind, along with dropping temperatures, with this storm. Drifts should be quite interesting come morning. I'd estimate that visibility here in Canton is lower than 1/4 of a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the heaviest precip forecast for Toronto? After 8pm? Bit of a snow hole at the moment but another wave about to move in. Would expect heaviest snow leading up to midnight, when the change over should occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard23 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just took a walk around the lakes. I stumbled upon a flock of geese, ducks, and swans all huddled together. It was very neat! Up to 9.5" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nah think in 77 or 78 it was 40"+ Greatest depth at O'Hare since 1958 is 28" on 14 January 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue60007 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wow insane rippage. Nearly impossible to measure but my best guess is about 9" total. Or 1" or 3 feet depending on where in the yard you measure. I will be uploading pictures and a video shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Greatest depth at O'Hare since 1958 is 28" on 14 January 1979.Yeah I was corrected by chicago storm. I don't know why I thought it was that high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Toronto won't see the snow amounts we would have liked, this storm is still amazing, meteorologically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 where are you Angrysummons? Toledo Executive Airport (KTDZ) now with +SN and 1/4 mile visibility I'm not Angrysummons but I live in BG.

Returns look decent with what's moving in. May get some high end SN. Agreed, very cool storm. Will be fun to watch the changeover and the winds picking up as this thing deepens.

Hoar_Frost Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah I was corrected by chicago storm. I don't know why I thought it was that high I'll bet there were drifts that high. No doubt the snow banks were extremely high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
