Harry Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I bet after tomorrow's drifting, my area gets at least another day as buses won't be able to get through the out county roads. Marshall usually closes before BC so i am pretty sure they wont have any on Tuesday there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Last little band rotating through seems to be intensifying slightly per radar. But as always, even without any reflectivity we're getting decent snows still, now 28 hours after it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 EC per usual going 100% RGEM and getting burned. Elgin, Middlesex, Waterloo, and northern Wellington county should all be under a winter storm or snowfall warning. Yeah per radar, areas north of 401 will likely get another burst of heavy snowfall within the next hour or two before it transitions over to some mixing. I guess it'll depend if the layer of warmth can stay cold enough for a SN/PL mix to stay dominant rather than plain rain. How much your way? When do you think the temperatures will start falling? And finally a snowfall warning issued. Only took about 7-8". This storm has performed much better than some of us thought it would. My temperature is still -1.3 Celsius. We seem to be getting ice pellets now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterimage Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Pretty good...13". Treat yourself to a drink. And then have fun tackling it again tomorrow, after it drifts back over. no, no drink, he needs commando with a robe...someone take pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Is there a link to find out what the current snowfall totals are at Toledo express airport? 8" at 1020 PM here in Genoa. Keep shoveling driveway at every two inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be getting ice pellets now, though. Went to rest my eyes for half an hour. Get up. Look outside. Still SNPL. Still below freezing. Just to my west in Mississauga and Brampton it's more or less just snow and they're still getting moderate bursts. Maybe pushing half a foot there.

Good thing about this is that we shouldn't lose much of our snowpack with the brief temperature spike. The Siberian Express will thus have plenty of fresh snow cover to help keep it refrigerated.

I'd imagine Pearson airport is going to report a respectable snowfall figure. As of 11 pm, snow is still falling there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some heavier bands towards Hamilton that should move in within the next 30 minutes, so it shouldn't last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it's the same by the lake, but sometimes it can be different under marginal cases, like tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Actually are transitioning towards more SN than PL right now. Arctic boundary hasn't lifted as far N as the models were showing so we're keeping a low level NE wind and some colder air. Sfc low near CLE right now. As it approaches the front should lift north and I still think we transition to just rain but obviously a lot of damage has already been done.

YHM Supercell Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Still seems to be freezing rain here. Some ice on the stop sign and trees have that odd shine to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoFabulous Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like the snow has largely stopped here. Might get a little more, but I'm going to call 10.5" with a 13.5" total snow pack where I'm at. It looks like it is closer to a foot from today, but I can't get a measurement to verify that. Still waiting for the winds to kick in. You can hear them up in the trees, but they haven't gotten down to the surface on a consistent basis yet. The snow on the trees is pretty well frozen on, so it will take a lot of wind to shake the snow off the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
