Hoosier Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It will be interesting to watch how the orientation is of the low level baroclinic zone for Sunday. It's more NW-SE with the strongest WAA south of the sfc low with a westerly/WSW component to it which is why you're getting heavy snows in model land east and even ESE of the sfc low. In most cases, this sfc low track wouldn't be the best for here gfsFLT_sfc_prec_096.gif Not a fan of the trend for Sunday but I'm more focused on the early weekend system at the moment. But even if it doesn't trend south and the northern track verifies, overall progression could be a little fun here with a quick burst of snow/rapidly increasing temps, a period of dripping and then falling temps.

Chicago WX Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah my fellow LAF-ites, that was rocking. The wall and waves of snow from the videos below are awesome. Snapped a couple of videos on the phone...about 5 minutes apart from each other. Couldn't take it too long, as my fingers were starting to freeze.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 That Dec. 14th event had E-NE winds. The winds currently at Pearson are SSE 5 km/hr and at Billy Bishop Airport are ESE 5 km/hr. Will see if they pick up from there southeasterly directions. Winds aren't currently from N or NE direction. Gotchya. I misinterpreted the "rare" comment to be in reference to Lk Ontario LES overall.

The Great "Toronto Snow-dome" has become so famous that even the Nam is now picking it up on its latest run.

You can see the same phenomenon in NE lower MI with the higher elevation to the west. Honestly, when there's a sound meteorological reason for the screwage, I don't get so upset. SW winds = no go for snow here. That's just the rules of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
