snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Band didn't "ooze" as much as I expected. Regardless, my attitude towards this storm has improved since 5am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks like a new, discrete E-W oriented fronto band is developing within the defo zone just north of the city. Maybe we've got a chance for a little more lovin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 40cm consistently in my yard. Path that is blocked by NE wind has the same. Wouldn't be surprised to have 40cm. Very nice! I have a 40cm drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just measured 25cm. Still snowing. May make a run for 27cm if the band just north of me sags south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Snow day here! The University of Guelph (where I work full-time) is closed today. Looks incredible outside. About 26cm or 10.2". Not too shabby! Some huge drifts out in the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks like a slower moving band sinking south. Hoping we can luck out like others in this sub forum with this thing refusing to end, not that this has felt like it's lasted very long. Aside from some good gusts last night and the 20 minutes of dendrites this morning, not a remarkable storm for me whatsoever. About 18 cm here but unsurprisingly really hard to measure.

For me its the opposite. The best storm of the winter no doubt about that. In addition, its probably the best storm for my backyard since the Feb 2014 storm. About 25cm here. If the band up north stays consistent I can make a run for 27cm. Contemplating if I should go to class today. I have a test but I can get it postponed given the bad weather conditions.

Now that it looks like we'll finish in the 20cms, I don't hate this storm as much as earlier, but of the two "big" storms this winter, I prefer Dec 11. If that band wanes before it gets here and we're basically done with accums, I'm going to be really surprised at how quickly this storm exited.

Globals had snow diminishing around noon. Band is strengthening a bit and slowly moving south. Time to top up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that band wanes before it gets here and we're basically done with accums, I'm going to be really surprised at how quickly this storm exited. I definitely preferred the December storm too. It was very unusual and I remember that radar sig was one of the coolest I've seen... plus it over performed. This one definitely hasn't. The band is definitely shifting south and strengthening. We'll see if this thing lingers on the back edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I find it interesting that YYZ didn't make the weather summary. Are they slow getting the measurement out? I had heard that EC has to put YYZ in their summaries but do it reluctantly. I guess they are aware of their snow measuring issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
