Chitown Storm Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not sure where to put this so I'll put it here. MPX tweeted out this morning that the snow we got last night was 90:1 ratio. Talk about off the charts. I don't recall ever seeing a ratio that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London snowsquall Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A very wintry scene in London today. Encountered a complete whiteout near woodstock on the 401 E. The LES has started up again after quite a lull this afternoon. Squalls look to mean business north of here and steadily dropping south. May be here in an hour or so. Could be interesting.......

snowstormcanuck Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Arctic front looks like it's getting enhancement from NNW flow off Georgian Bay. Could really rock here for awhile. Hoping at a min. we get the ground whitened up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about off the charts. I don't recall ever seeing a ratio that high. I was just about to post this with the same caveat about where it goes... Lol. Seriously... 90:1? That blows even lake effect fluff out of the water. We had about half an inch but you could still see through it to the surface Beneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about off the charts. I don't recall ever seeing a ratio that high. Don't you think that it is hard for snowflakes to land in a 8" wide standard rain gauge if the wind is blowing? Is this a main reason why you can get insane ratios-- 1/2" of snow on the ground, and not a lot of flakes made it to the bottom of the rain gauge?

michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Was out on lunch in Farmington Hills when the whiteout front hit. I called my mom, she was like "just flurries here but the north sky is very dark". About 20 minutes later she texted me "holy ****!" Then on the way home, driving in and out of clearing skies and squalls, then 5 minutes from home I hit a whiteout like I havent seen in a while. It was so brief but so intense that some cars pulled off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Going to be a brutal night tonight, temps are already down to 20, with a stiff N wind at 20MPH. Forecasted low around 0, should be good for some WC's around -15 tomorrow morning. Just hard to believe we have 2 weeks of met winter left.

Drive out of town yesterday was brutal. Staying for the weekend? May have a shot of another LES event later tonight/tomorrow but there's a chance it may set up shop just west of the city.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Can barely make out the house across the street. Rippage. GL! If that band does end up stalling across the city you're gonna have some impressive snow depth afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 GL! If that band does end up stalling across the city you're gonna have some impressive snow depth afterwards. We'll see. Heavier snow than I saw at least during the last event. Should be good for a little while at least and then after?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a small break and then the LES streamer should setup. HRRR looked pretty good, especially for you since you're in the west end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have a shot of another LES event later tonight/tomorrow but there's a chance it may set up shop just west of the city. Back in TO. All the mesos have the band effecting the London area in some way, with the heaviest precip NW. Pretty good consensus for 0.3-0.4" of QPF through tomorrow night. With good ratio's I'm thinking 3-6" is likely--heaviest amounts west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Radar has a convoluted look. Winds are out of the NNW which should set up the heavy stuff in the west side but right now the whole city is getting nailed, but the main streamer is coming in east of Goderich and hooking into the area from the east. What that means for here - damned if I know........... but if it keeps up all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Had a brief frontal squall around 6:45- 7 pm. Looks like a really bitter air mass settling in for the weekend. Have decided to do my day trip to Ottawa on Sunday as opposed to tomorrow. Driving conditions look better on Sunday and also skating in minus 18 celsius (zero fahreheit) weather with sunshine and light winds is more appealing than minus 25 celsius with windchills of minus 40.

What that means for here - damned if I know........... but if it keeps up all night The HRRR has nailed the setup so far. The convoluted mess will shift south and fall apart. A single huron band should emerge and move through the city before stalling to the west. The band drifts north again tomorrow. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
