snowstormcanuck Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Let's not give the UKMET too muc credit now. It was way too amplied and too far west with the track of the surface (even had Detroit on the edge of the heavy snow for a few runs). True, but even the EURO had one of those runs. The one where it jackpotted YYZ with 2" of QPF, you guys got about 1/2" (I think 12z/10). In general, those two models had the better handle on how the system evolved.

buckeye Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Let's not give the UKMET too muc credit now. It was way too amplied and too far west with the track of the surface (even had Detroit on the edge of the heavy snow for a few runs). ukmet failed on the strength of the low, but nailed the general idea of a low going up or just west of the mountains, 144 hrs out and pretty much stuck with that. The reason it was throwing precip back to Detroit at one point was because of being way over-amped. I've seen this now a couple of times with ukie this season. It'll put a low in a place where no other models have it and not waiver and then the other models will fall into place. It's terrible on strength and temps though.

donsutherland1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Snow totals around our area. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BUF&issuedby=BUF&product=PNS&format=CI&version=3&glossary=0 Totals of 1-2' were coming across WNY in general Maximum was around Rochester with a general 18-22" It was a really impressive storm in its cold sector. It will be interesting to see whether next week's possible storm impacts the same general area or is farther east. If the former scenario plays out, it could further dent what is still a large seasonal snowfall deficit to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 storm reports from Ohio/Pennsylvania from 2/16-2/17. This does not show the maximum snowfall reports up near Rochester (6.4" to 22" in Rochester metro area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It was a really impressive storm in its cold sector. It will be interesting to see whether next week's possible storm impacts the same general area or is farther east. If the former scenario plays out, it could further dent what is still a large seasonal snowfall deficit to date. It would be nice if Toronto could get in on a bit more of the action next week Don. A 6-8" storm in Toronto would do me. As for Ottawa...let them go for record snow depth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
