Snowstorms Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Measured 4.6" last night. YYZ now up to 13.5" for the season as of yesterday and around normal snow levels for December. Looks like a winter wonderland outside. Merry Christmas everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Picked up exactly 3" from the intense snow band today so far, just got back in from plowing for the second time today. 10" on the flat now and still coming down hard. Never would have thought we would have got this much snow if you would have asked me Friday. Beautiful Christmas Day out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Blowed a solid foot out of the drive and 5 inches just an hour ago. Flakes have got smaller due to the colder air causing visibility problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing many 6"+ reports from across the area on twitter. Storm zipped by too quickly and LE band was too transient. Still a beautiful wintry morning. Merry Christmas everybody. Managed to pull off just over 8" here. Lots of drifting but I'm confident in that measurement (rounded down a bit). Was able to stay in the LE band for the entire event. Staying at my parents place in north Oakville, it almost never happens that we jackpot. Took a good hour and a half to dig out! Easily the most I've ever shovelled on Xmas. Merry Christmas to all!

Kaner88 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Probably 1" here, just enough to make for a beautiful white Christmas. Apologies if it's off topic, but does anyone know if the HRRR, RAP & similar short-term, hi-res models have some sort of bias towards colder temperatures? I ask because the two are dead-set on -15 degrees air temperature in Chicagoland tomorrow morning while the Nam 3k has a more-believable ~0 degrees.

ConvectiveIA Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Another wave now coming tonight is further south than Saturday night's, is going to add to Northern MO snowcover, and will miss us entirely which is a shame. I would like to see a "touch up" job to the snow on the ground, which has now blown around into piles and patches amid lots of bare ground in the concrete jungle I'm in. A couple of today's models included us in the northern edge of the precip shield and Radar trends are being flurry-ish but I'm afraid it's just not going to be close enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Tried driving to Lansing Michigan last night on 94 but Lake Effect band was following us, lol. Traffic was going 5 mph, nightmare. We finally pulled over in Paw Paw and slept for a few hours before heading out this morning. Had to be the hardest I've seen it snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Those snow squalls were awesome today. A sunny, bright Christmas morning with fresh powder quickly turning to blizzard-like conditions for the afternoon made for one of the more wintery Christmases in recent memory.

I guess I could have posted in the lake effect thread but sometimes it gets confusing lol. So with the main clipper Christmas Eve I got 4.5" of powder. Then another brief burst of snow Christmas morning dropped 0.2". Thereafter the heavy snow squalls set up well north of Detroit and we were sunny and frigid much of the day. Then during the late afternoon we got a couple heavy squalls and then a steady snow set in as a 94 band snaked across the state much of the night. We picked up another 1.5" of snow from this. So the total Dec 24-26 snow was 6.2" imby and 6.1" at DTW. Roads were very treacherous with snow and ice packed pavement as temps plunged towards zero. Its a winter wonderland tundra out there!

Definitely have been on a hot streak to start this winter, compared to most other areas, but it looks like we will be in a mostly dry deepfreeze like everyone else for a little while. The snow is literally frozen to the streets too, so its tundra-town. Pics of the above mentioned squalls from Christmas afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
