harrisale Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just had a rainfall warning issued by Environment Canada for many areas in Southern Ontario. Should receive 1-1.5" precip tonight. Could make for some minor localized flooding Looks to be a juicy one. Nice Gulf moisture transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 it's raining and geos still isn't ready to punt I've punted a long time ago. It did snow for a short time here. Just had a thunder sleet and/or hail shower. Still going... pretty sure it's hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Picked up only 0.9" of wet slop this morning. Even that small amount was awful to shovel. It had turned to rain while I was outside. The trees were dripping and water was pooling. It was nice to see heavy snow falling during daylight for the first, and perhaps only, time this winter, but I really don't care for these slop systems at all.

TugHillMatt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Graupel with some big snowflakes mixed in. I'm watching the radar change over from rain to a mix/snow over the lake with the heavy bands. Maybe we can get some more wintry weather and less rain than expected around here.

Pretty cool having two thunder storms with sleet in the same winter. About 0.1" of sleet and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just went on a walk with the dog. 7.5" in the last 5 hours. Still rockin'. Should hit double digits based on current trends.

cyclone77 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Pretty miserable day with off and on cold rain and drizzle. Had some sleet mixing in for the first hour or so after onset. Also some nice rumbles of thunder. Only picked up 0.17" of rain today, which was a bit surprising. Congrats to the MSP crowd. Long time coming.
