MillvilleWx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Awesome vids guys. My friends up off Ontario are in the thick of that band now. Intense snowfall, sea spray freezing up shoreline, and the best part thunder snow!! Friend has some video of thunder and lightning up there. He said no doubt the area will see 4 feet at this rate. The band is basically stationary now and the Tug is getting annihilated. Going to be a wicked 24-30 more hours up there. On the soundings they got from the project in the band is showing tremendous moistening up of the column overhead and just unleashing the fury of the snowfall. Truly amazing stuff. Stay safe all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
