WestCoaster Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Very good SN coming down here. My visibility is down to 1/2 km Flakes are nice sized, you can tell they are moisture-latent It started snowing lightly around 8 this morning and hasn't let up Nice radar returns coming, wow. I'm going to stick with my initial call of 5" for downtown, anything more will be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Pixie dust snow at the moment, but an inch down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Measured about 2 cm here downtown at this moment. Light to barely moderate snow Everywhere west, north and east of GTA has snowfall warning. Maybe, if this fine line stay consisten, a snowfall warning will (or should) be issued for GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Continues to fall moderately to at times heavy in my area. About 3.8cm down so far. Latest radar returns look good. 25 to 35 dBZ bands right on the doorstep of the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess King City's radar's must be off with the general 0.5-1 cm/hr returns Hamilton getting pounded right now, wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light to barely moderate snow Everywhere west, north and east of GTA has snowfall warning. Maybe, if this fine line stay consisten, a snowfall warning will (or should) be issued for GTA Nice to hear it's sticking down there. I was worried for a bit. I'd be scared by these marginal temps to issue a warning for Toronto. I would, as I said this morning, up totals from the ridic. 5-10 they're showing now though.

I guess King City's radar's must be off with the general 0.5-1 cm/hr returns Hamilton getting pounded right now, wow Yeah just measured right now. I have like 3 different spots so I always get an accurate number. The bands across Hamilton/Oakville will be moving into the GTA within the next 30 or so minutes. Latest HRRR looks good. Shows a general 12-20cm across the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, as I said this morning, up totals from the ridic. 5-10 they're showing now though. Ya there is no melt, so far. About 2.5 cm now and still accumulating nicely. Went out for a bit and it isn't soggy, still bit icy. Had that 'snowfall warning' feel to the air. Seen it, where 5- 10 cm, becomes 15-20 cm.in the end. Who really knows?

Snowstorms Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 YYZ now teetering with the freezing mark. Going to have to come down at a good clip from here on in for accums. Not good. We need to cool down the SFC temps. Its borderline between rain and snow now. 925mb temps are around -3 to -4C currently and even cooler towards 850mb.
