Geos Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Rosemount, MN looks like they have at least 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Areas near the lake and downtown will be moderated somewhat but if you go north, west, and east of the city temps should drop well below freezing overnight. I'm on the border between Scarborough and Markham, so I should get more snow than downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The band over Mn is brutal. Gonna be some 8-12" totals with areas 20 miles NNW getting nothing. If that band was overlayed in the STL metro. My community would be in the death band and the majoritt of our 500 local members would be high and dry It is already happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Light wet snow falling in Scarborough. When is this forecast to transition to freezing rain? Thinking tomorrow morning's commute might be dicey. The majority of the IP/ZR should fall after 9z and the commute will be slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It is already happening Gonna make for one heck of a cool visible shot tomorrow, or the next day if it clears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Might have another hours worth of snow....10" reports starting to pop up in the Burnsville/Eagan area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 One of the sickest gradients I've seen in a long time. Just drove 5 mi NW of Minneapolis and the pavement isn't even wet. Not even a flake. Cars driving north on the freeway have 8" on the roof and people driving south are like WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 About two inches here snow slowing down. Now the biggest question how much freezing rain occurs and will the nam be close to reality with amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolI bet some spots south of MSP around Lakeville gets near 20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 CONGRATS to you all! I hope some of you get a couple of feet of new snow! I damn near decided to make a road trip up to La Crosse WI from Austin Texas lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 12" totals now coming in from 8-9 hours of snowfall while that band sat over south MSP metro. Report just 20 miles north says just 2.5in(that report is old though). Regardless, thats quite a gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 YYZ @ 0.3c valid 9pm. Temp should remain AOB the freezing mark through late tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 12" of day time snow even in SE Minnesota USA from a fgen band 1500 miles from a large bodied moisture source is extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Some sort of precip as a result of this system is present over a massive portion of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 YYZ @ 0.3c valid 9pm. Temp should remain AOB the freezing mark through late tomorrow morning. Looks like the main f-gen band is drifting north pretty quickly. I'm seeing a real lack of echoes upstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Looks like the main f-gen band is drifting north pretty quickly. I'm seeing a real lack of echoes upstream. The HRRR seems to be struggling to pick up on this. May open the door for a faster changeover to -IP/FZDZ before the +ZR moves in by ~10z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would be shocked to see more than 2" on the grass. My main concern is freezing rain, but I think the GTA is actually going to fair out relatively well. I don't see this system wreaking too much havoc. Seems to be very hyped by the media, though. I find ZR amounts are rarely as high as forecasted. Even the 2013 ice storm, I think we saw about half of what was forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The escarpment or areas north of highway 7 will try to top that mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowcaine Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So, is this storm going to be a bust? Honestly, I never saw it as a big storm for the city. More of a mixed bag. But given what I've seen this evening from the media.. yeah, I'd say it'll be a big bust to a lot of civilians. We'll see some snow, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain, wind...but I don't see anything all that "big" from either category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The northern precip band stretches from CO to NY and the line of convection stretches from IA to TX. I'd say that's one heck of a setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall 2"+ of ice being forecasted for Toronto, and 3-4" just north of the city over to Kingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisWx Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Winds just went from calm to 25mph gusts in a few seconds. It will be an interesting night, hoping power doesn't go out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcaine Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I don't recall 2"+ of ice being forecasted for Toronto, and 3-4" just north of the city over to Kingston. I can't speak for the surrounding areas, but midtown TO had model outputs of 1.2" to 1.5" a day out. I recall one NAM run (naturally it was the NAM) the day before with 1.9" for the GTA. IMBY we had 0.7" of ice accretion, and we got hit pretty hard. No power for 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Freezing line inching into Milwaukee and Madison now. Down to 35.1° here. 0z NAM. MKX would need WSW if this played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Freezing line inching into Milwaukee and Madison now. Down to 35.1° here. 0z NAM. MKX would need WSW if this played out. That secondary area is a challenge, especially as you get toward the WI border and down into IL. Looks like it could snow hard. cyclone's area looking decent on the 12 km NAM.
