snowstormcanuck Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Doesn't take much to cause chaos on the roads in this city. 427 was moving at about 30 klicks. Looks like a solid 1" down with +SN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Congrats ON. At least someone is getting something from this storm, especially after quite a few years of GTA getting shortchanged as compared to the rest of the subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our little fling with the ole snow magnet should come to end with the clipper. Was a nice run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Based on MTO cams, change over to PL or ZR may already be into western Mississauga. Don't think we've got too much longer as pure snow. Have probably 1.5-1 3/4" down. Should get just enough for more for a solid 2" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 over to -ZR. Probably not quite 2". Still nice to see everything coated in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I had large flakes during the mid-afternoon that gave 3-5 cm of new snow, followed by freezing rain til 6:30 pm, changed to mixed and then hard medium sized flakes. By 7:30 pm it went back to freezing rain. Its a dry slot currently with unknown precip. type on the way. I estimate we got 1-2 mm of ice accretion. When going through EC's crappy radar archive, I saw some impressive returns on a LES band from November 18 north of me that might have produced thundersnow: There were close to 50 dbz spots far away from the radar site! Paisley and central parts of Bruce county looked to get hard hit during the morning and parts of the afternoon. Then the base of the peninsula got those high dbz spots later with Owen Sound close to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Haven't checked sfc analysis but I'm guessing the sfc low tracked a touch east of guidance. Big time temp fail for EC. Still stuck at 1c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 ^I still got 2.5cm left on the ground from yesterday. Saw some freezing rain last night by the looks of it. Driveway is a bit slippery and some ice accretion on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 15hrs+ of RN/DZ with temps between 33-35f at YYZ. Nice. On a nicer note, maybe we can pull off an inch before the vodka cold moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC is forecasting a high of 5 (and then falling to 1 this afternoon), but I doubt we'll reach it.Pearson Airport recorded 2.4 cm of snow yesterday. Up to 39.7 cm for the season.

No, not really. This is CCB stuff that is generated along a sfc trough/trailing vort diving SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 How much accumulation are the snow belts looking at? EC only saying long lived snow squalls with 15cm per 12 hours for several days in the warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some tonight and maybe more Tues night and Wed. Just need the winds to stay more NW instead of directly west or the dreaded SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
