McDude Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 My power has been flickering a lot today. Not sure if it is because of weather or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ended up with about 0.10" ice accrual on top of the 1.2" of snow this morning. Steady melting now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I actually quite enjoyed this event. It happened during the morning rush, so I got to "enjoy" it and even though it was only a 2-3"-er, it all came down very quick and after a brief flip over to IP, it was encased in ice as the freezing rain moved in. I don't think we lose much snowpack tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Called in 2.5" and .15" of ice for over in Eastpointe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Wasn't paying much attention to this storm so don't know if this is considered a bust up here Busted low for Toronto. Only about 4 cm here. Call was for 5-10 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrad08 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think I can speak for most of the central Ohio folks when I say if it's only going to be a 1-3 type event, we'd rather have nothing. Get on with spring or a miracle north shift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Busted low for Toronto. Only about 4 cm here. Call was for 5-10 cm. EC was 5-10cm here too. 4cm also. Freezing rain just began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Busted low for Toronto. Only about 4 cm here. Call was for 5-10 cm. and now 10 days (at least) of boredom. Hoo-rah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 2.1" here and has been -FZDZ for the last couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Not sure how much actual precip fell here, but 0.19" has melted through the rain gauge so far today. Quite a bit of sleet had accumulated before it changed to plain freezing rain. Probably a good 3/4" of sleet. Took forever to get the truck cleaned off this morning after being encased in ice.

I don't think we lose much snowpack tonight. We dont lose ANY tonight. Even though it has hit 35 now, the ice-covered snowpack isnt budging. A thick sheet of glass lays atop a deep snowpack, I honestly cant remember when it looked like this. Should look really neat tonight and again when the sun comes out. Havent thawed out my gauge but DTW got 0.26" of precip, 1.9" snow. About half the liquid was snow, half freezing rain. Season snowfall at 47.5" at DTW and 48.5" imby. Snow depth is 13" with core about 2.3". This is the 30th consecutive day snow depth has been 10"+. This is by far the 2nd longest streak on record. The longest is 37 consecutive days set Jan-Mar 2014! Before that? The longest stretch was 18 days in Jan 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Snow pack now has a nice icy crust on it. Made it to 33°, but it wasn't even warm enough to totally clear off paved surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Got 1.8" in my area and then had a brief period of freezing drizzle. Wasn't expecting anything more anyways. I'm ready for spring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Light flickering becoming more and more aggressive here. About to lose power, it appears. A few of my buddies in Toronto were out of power for an hour around 7-8. Its back on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Rousseau and other mets it's the combo of the salt in the air and the -FZDZ accretion on the transformers. More than 20 000 customers without power in the GTA.

michsnowfreak Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 3" in most locations. This was a horrible plow today snow was very very wet but its done! I must say overall this was a unique weather day...we rarely get conditions like this. Even as the temp briefly rose to 37F this evening there was no melting on the ground (just dripping from above). The snowpack is absolutely encased in ice. What a cool sight! I included a pic from this mornings rush-hour snow thump too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been years since I have seen this look. I can remember a few light glazes, but not like this. The ice crust is lierally a quarter inch thick, and the snowpack has barely budged. The snowman stick I have in the backyard was at 12.5" this morning before the snow started, peaked at 14.3" and is now at 13.8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thawed out my rain gauge lol. Total precip today 0.29", snow 1.9". About half that liquid fell as snow, half as freezing rain. Sleet was minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
