Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Its possible! One can hope LOL. Maybe they"ll put out a reasonable number. Alot of controversy around EC already. They dont want to add another to their list. Thru 12pm their at 15cm. What do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Down to just garden variety -SN in the west end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still coming down solid SN. Up to 18cm now so I'd say we could have hit some 4cm/hr rates at the height of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 What do you mean? Im sure you already know. Their measuring capabilities, frequent forecast errors (as we've seen this season), or inadequate warning procedures. If I recall, during the July flood, they issued the warnings well into the storm.

blizzardof96 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Down to just garden variety -SN in the west end. Here too. Watching the area of enhanced reflectivity around goderich. Thinking that will be our last shot at moderate snow before the snow moves out. Will probably come short of 30 by a cm or two over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Tapering off here too, just light snow. Looks like some heavier returns approaching Pearson, though, and more back towards London and Stratford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still heavy snow here, had almost 10cm at 8 this morning, will measure when I get home. Roads are awful. Accidents ever where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like some heavier returns approaching Pearson, though, and more back towards London and Stratford. Yeah, we should see a bit of an increase to high end -SN/maybe even SN over the next half and hour. But another 10cm seems very generous. Looks like about 5cm of top up will do it. Just enough to get you to 30cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayuud11 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 5.8" on buffalo west side, we had +TSSN when the deform band passed thru earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still hanging on to SN here with some solid returns overhead, may be my turn to play catch up. Great example of the media just reading the SWS and ignoring current obs. Just heard on 680 news "Snowfall across the city will come in around 15-20cm, with some areas receiving much less." I'd say most areas have hit 20 by now, or are getting pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That was a fun drive. Ive been out since 9am criss crossing the city. Took 2 hours to get to eglinton and the DVP. Numerous cars were having a tough time with the hills and curves along the DVP. I took the 401 home and no one was on the highways but it was some of the deepest highway snow I have ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 -SN here by Queens Park. Measured 14 cm. Still some accumulation to add on for bit, i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Im sure you already know. Their measuring capabilities, frequent forecast errors (as we've seen this season), or inadequate warning procedures. If I recall, during the July flood, they issued the warnings well into the storm. Its a long tradition with EC. Around the middle of the last decade you wouldn't believe the incompetence, there would be times where we would be under watches (or nothing) for severe thunderstorms and AFTER the thunderstorm went by with nothing on radar coming after it (cold front gone by already and no chance for more), they would then issue the severe thunderstorm warning! I was in disbelief the first few times. Around 2008 that nonsense ended but how hard is it to look at the radar? The heaviest I got from this winter storm ended up being at 11:10 am with it starting 8-9 am. It wasn't too windy but during the peak it was moderate snow with some blowing. TWN isn't sharing the details about the totals as of this morning for some reason (Toronto and surrounding). Great to hear Ontario did very well.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not sure how to explain that lateral band of enhanced returns that seems to be cutting across the main defo zone. Maybe conditional symmetric instability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still snowing good, moderate/heavy with vis <500m. From where I have walked so far...seems well north of 20cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear Ontario did very well. That sounds similar to what happened here in downtown T.O Didn't really get going until 8 am. Moderate snow, + SN around 10- 11 am, -SN since 1 pm. or so. Ended up with 13 cm in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Went up to YorkU to see what all the fuss was about. 1 metre snow drifts and pal in the atm. Sci. Faculty here said they hit the foot mark just after 2pm this aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Best measurement I can get so far is just shy of 25cm. Others areas are contaminated with drifting and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on twitter reports + the reports here + reports at accuweather it seems a legit 1 foot of snow fell across the north part of the city.
