Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's been snowing very steadily in my part of the city. Not heavy stuff, but still very few lulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's been snowing very steadily in my part of the city. Not heavy stuff, but still very few lulls. Still snowing here too; big flakes but quite light. Definitely not 1cm/hr stuff. Maybe 0.5 My temperature is being really bizarre. Perhaps my thermometer is messed up. It's been jumping around between -3 and -1 for the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 snowing fairly moderately for a bit now. expecting 4-6" with this 2nd wave after 3" with the first one yesterday afternoon/last night. If 6" does fall that will give me a depth of 44". Hoping things trend a little better with wave 3 tho. Cold is locked in (average high is 23, up a degree), and Superior is around 55% ice covered at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Wave 2 looks beautiful on the radar. Too bad it's going to skirt North. When viewing wave 2 and 3 on the models: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looks like snow is really going to start to increase in the east end of the city in the next 1/2 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looks like snow is really going to start to increase in the east end of the city in the next 1/2 hr. Yup. Will likely just miss me as I am west of Yonge by about 1 km Amazed that it's still snowing. Getting bursts of bigger flakes on and off but steady rates of -SN.

WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Actually riding the line on this thing. Big fat flakes falling but rates are very poor. Looks like that transition before it starts snowing really heavy, but eternally like that... this is what happens when you are actually on the damn cusp! Ottawa Blizzard you could really have some luck with Wave 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Huge flakes but still big spaces between them. Riding the -SN/SN boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it goes well for you given I think you got the shorter end of the stick with last weekend's system compared to the rest of the GTA. Thanks for that.

WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Aaaand snow just completely shut off to basically nothing. Going to head off for a bit until the snow repellant in my neighbourhood decides to wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't even know which wave we're in. Did Wave 2 just pass by or is Wave 2 the returns between Orillia and The Soo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I will be LUCKY to reach 10 cm by Monday evening from all this. Sitting at 2 cm barely so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Living in Toronto for snow is a joke now. Actual joke. Boston about to get walloped again and regions south of us saw a near historic blizzard and we're here cherishing 5cm, lol. These past few Winters have changed me. New England is the central hub of snowstorms and thats where I'll be heading in a few years. DTW saw 100+cm more than us last winter, lol. The difference is overwhelming.

Toronto4 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Snow has intensified in the last 15 minutes as some decent radar returns from the west move in. Should be good for 2-4 cm here with this batch with more in the eastern sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only yesterday you called me out for saying something similar. Both February 2013 and 2014 saw huge storms, close to a foot in some areas of the GTA.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looks like wave two is trying to give some love. Visibility down to 1SM at YYZ for the first time since this morning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looping regional radar composites though, you can see the whole band of snow is gradually lifting north. Going to be tough to get too much out of this except from Barrie to Kingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 DTX is suspiciously confident that we see rain changing to snow with 1-2" locally 3" tomorrow night. Would freshen up the soon to be glacier and dirtying snowbanks grom the weekend thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Some of the best radar returns of the storm are right over the city now. Hope you guys are getting some ground truth. Most recent HRRR run has shifted wave two a fair bit to the south, but as Bliz96 pointed out, it screwed the pooch so bad with wave 1 it's hard to give it too much credence.
