mississaugasnow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Going to go with an estimate of 5.5" here as of 5am. Cannot believe YYZ has yet to record an observation of visibilities below 1km. Have true dendrites falling now. With another couple hours of steady snow and at least one more moderate-heavy band to swing thru, you should be able to get to 7" maybe even make a run at 8".

My range is going to work out it looks like, but there's something unsavory about this storm. No +SN when radar indicated it certainly should have been occurring. And already a swath of 8-12" from London to KW. No reason we shouldn't have been there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I might cry if that death band forming from KW to York stays north of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I might cry if that death band forming from KW to York stays north of us. South Mississauga got a jump into that 8-12 as well. It stopped right at the Mississauga/Toronto border (along the lakeshore) watching it on radar gave the impression it was LES but that was clearly to the south in Burlington/Hamilton so Im at a loss of why it came to a dead stop there. Could possibly have to do with us having better moisture at the onset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Light to moderate snow falling downtown. Better sized flakes compared to yesterday evening. Let's hope that intense defo band on KIng City radar moves across Toronto in the next hour or so. That will determine if we can reach 7-8".

Could possibly have to do with us having better moisture at the onset? Maybe I'm underestimating how much has fallen. Maybe we're closer to 7"? 5.5" was an estimate made on some very imprecise measurements. I'll wait to see what the rest of our crew has to report in with. I dunno. I had estimated 6-7cm at 1am, and YYZ came in with just that may be a sign I'm lowballing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is slowly sagging south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Awesome band. Just over 7" here in North york. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just went outside to measure and after measuring in several spots, i recorded 22cm. The snow is still falling quite heavily so I think i can make a run for 25cm. Awesome storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ripping snow out there right now. I hear the roads are a mess. Debating whether to try and make it into work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yup, rippage now. Yet, YYZ is still at 1km visibility. Something's up with them. Anyway, at 7 I'd estimate 6.5-7" of snow has fallen. Band is oozing south so we could toy with it for a good 90 minutes. Might give us a shot at those 8-10" amounts.

Snowstorms Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hearing reports of around 12cm near YYZ but no confirmation. I doubt 6cm has fallen since 1am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ok not bad. Expected worse from them. If they record 11-13cm today, this will make it a 6+" storm officially at YYZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Most impressive snow totals since 07 for me. Snowing moderately again. 3ft by 4ft wide initial snow banks from plows for 1 lane of cars...amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Back edge already evident on King City radar. Little quicker than I was expecting. But...this death band is giving us the opportunity to catch up...so it looks like the consensus forecast on this board (15-25cm) will verify.

Whitelakeroy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Rippage, blitzing, pouring snow, all get thrown around a lot. But this is it. 2"/hr stuff I'd estimate. One thing I noticed about this storm is that the NAM was peaking it around Detroit while the other models had more of a peak in Chicago. Based on obs it peaked back toward Chicago which the other models were showing. Using my rule to knock their totals by a good 1/3 worked great here!! Hard to believe that last Thursday/Friday this looked to be a DAB storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted February 2, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 FINALLY snow flakes I can get on board with. I cannot believe how crappy the flake size was for the majority of this snow. Disappointed to see this thing shift out so quickly, too. Hoping to make a run at 20 cm but probably won't happen. I haven't measured but it sure doesn't look like 20+ cm outside.
