Back edge of the snow is almost here and we've had maybe a tenth.  Models did a piss-poor job with this system, hope they do better with the next.  Gonna ride my 3/4-1 1/4" with the second wave. 

Ditto.  Total bust over here.  Most of the radar returns were nothing but virga.  We may have picked up 0.1" as the last band on radar moved through.

Lots of drama unfolding across Southern Ontario with some county-wide road closures, dozens of highway closures, and reports of trapped motorists. OPP are basically asking everyone to stay home. Blowing snow warnings are in place for only 6 counties in Srn ON. Blizzard-like conditions are being reported across the whole area, with at least two counties not under the warning pulling plows off the roads (Chatham-Kent and Elgin). 

 

Simcoe County has confirmed 2 weather related fatalities from a car crash, and the Clearwater Fire Dept has opened their station to shelter stranded motorists, though the county is not under the blowing snow warning.

 

Seems like a very serious situation area-wide with limited weather warnings.

Sounds like a totally different universe to Toronto at the moment. The Toronto snow dome is in full effect. Still, we are only 5" off the snow total for January 1994, so it hasn't been an abnormally snowless month compared to, say, January 2010

Saw a report that some rural roads around here are already down to one lane due to drifts. 

There's a stretch of the road leading to my place that goes through an open field. Judging by cars driving by, it appears to currently be in that state.

Yeah what a joke.  The back edge was approaching here and the returns just shattered apart.  Snow completely shut off.  Gonna estimate 0.1" for this beast.  What a POS system this was.  Glad we weren't really anticipating much with this.  I'd say 9 times out of 10 this season we've had underperformers for eastern Iowa and far western IL.  Beat goes on, and on, and on... :whistle:

Seems to be picking up in the west end a bit. Highways starting to get coated.

Wow, that sucks. Radar doesn't look overly impressive across midwestern/southwestern Ontario so I'd guess just plain blowing snow is the biggest culprit.

This is the first winter I've really lived in a more exposed area. Wish I had a camera that could usefully capture it. Definitely cool to see but gonna suck if I need to go anywhere lol

Don't go anywhere. I just did and I had to be pulled out of a drift by the police and I have a truck! Winds are wicked. Drifts are deep,
