josh_4184 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 12Z GFS even looks sort of blaaaaaah for lake effect next week too. Hard say this far out as Lake Effect is such a meso feature and really hard to forecast past 24 hrs out. But the cold air still is there with several disturbances coming down around the PV.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Tough to say with all the blowing and drifting but I'd say we've had at or just above 4" of snow here on the west side of London. And that's just from the steady stream of weaker multibands that have been coming in off Huron. Main show is to our north but it should sink in overnight. Could get wild and if it does...photos to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a shame to be here for a couple years and not to experience something remotely memorable. Fingers crossed for later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't going to be no December 2010, but if we could pull out a 14-16" type deal, I'd be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Picked up an inch of snow between 5-7pm tonight. Probably 1.5" just today alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The 2 bands north of the city have a long ways to go to get here - the closest one is still up north around Exeter and not moving very much. Not saying it won't happen but I'm skeptical. edit - they show some signs of dropping south so we'll see. Stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good luck. What's the current snow depth where you are? Snow depth is 4 or 5 inches. Grass is covered again and the plows did the main roads earlier today. Our side street doesn't really even need anything. Like SSC said, nothing has fallen for probably a couple hours.

Our side street doesn't really even need anything. Like SSC said, nothing has fallen for probably a couple hours. Snowdepth is kind of erratic near where I live. I agree with your range as an average but some areas of the park across the street from me have grass showing and other areas look like drifts of 1'+. The band will impact us but it's not going to have much for shelf life. Maybe 12 hours total before it moves back north and dies. And there's a chance the band may veer enough to get completely west of London for awhile too. So we lose valuable accumulation time if that happens. I'm guessing the band drops 6-8" as it drifts in and out of the city. Add 4-5" and there's your total. It's something and nothing all at the same time. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unimpressed so far. Best returns are hugging the Huron shoreline between Goderich and Grand Bend and refuse to come inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's pretty outside. A rough eyeball estimate says around 6-8" inches OTG. Still snowing but the band is on the eastern fringes of where I live so unless it locks position it's probably not much longer. Not the big event hoped for, but in this winter, the best snowfall of the winter to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visibility hasn't been too bad...so that was what my "unimpressed" comment was based on. That, and the lack of intense radar returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 More snow fell than I thought. Maybe a fresh 5" overnight. So we're up to around 9" storm total here. Coming down moderately. Time for a good old fashioned Jeb Walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely in a better spot than here. Not prime, but they are in the region where they can pick up some stuff from a west wind where we often get shut out.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Back in Etobicoke with a scant dusting on the ground. My goodness did London look beautiful when I left. Probably about 12" down around 12:30pm and it was coming down around a 1-1.5/hr rate. Guessing storm totals in the 14-16" range will be common. And round II this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I was skeptical based on the look of radar but things improved overnight. EC called it correctly. If we get anything of note on the weekend, I'll post some more pics. Glad you at least witnessed this one in a pretty lame winter to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
