harrisale Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Getting some borderline heavy snow at the moment. Most surfaces except for main roads covered. Impressive rates for the time of year. About 0.5” down so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Wet snow this morning dropped 1.0" of snow both imby and at DTW. I am now at 61.5" on the season and DTW is at 59.7" (the 18th snowiest winter on record). In some areas the trees were very pretty, in other areas drippy, but it was nice to wake up to a winter wonderland for one last(?) time until probably November.

snowstormcanuck Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Big puffballs falling from the sky. Temps slightly below freezing. Nothing sticking. Not even to the grass. That's April sun angle for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was low ratio but it was (briefly) very white. Our temp never even hit freezing, hovering at 33-34° the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially we were slated to get hit between 6-9z, which would have been perfect. Unfortunately it slowed down. Starting to get some slushy accumulation on the grass and, especially on the treetops. But it's about to wind down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Crazy that there's only a 30% chance of precip tonight. It's been snowing here for hours and the ground is covered. I wasn't even expecting a flurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We had about 5cm in Waterloo Region. Wasn't much, but it was enough to turn the roads to chaos. Multiple MVC's and spinouts and one pileup on 7/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly 20.0" less than dtw. Maybe you do better next winter, one of these years will be Torontos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
