snowstormcanuck Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 EC upgraded us to a warning for 6-8 based on synoptic and les. Given upstream reports, the les is going to have to drive this warning. Not confident. I'll take the under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Still pouring small flakes here.Up to 2.4” this far. Backside passing MLI/DVN now, so probably will end up around or just over 3” when it’s done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Snowing hard. Nice sized flakes. My 4.1" call may be tough to reach, and on the lower end of LOT's 3-7 " call. LOT did a nice job not over reacting to each model run and staying the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisWx Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Things are just getting started here in NE Lower MI. APX calling for 8-12” by tomorrow with locally higher amounts due to lake enhancement from Lake Huron. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years have learned even when models and all signs point to a significant snowfall never count on it until you do with a ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS just came in with 8. NAM at 5. Guess we'll see what happens. For me locally, I am expecting a near match today of Saturday nights 3.8". The difference? Saturday was literally not predicted until A few hours before it began to snow, and even then it was only forecast at 1-2". Today has been talked about for a solid week and how much potential it holds, and the end result should be similar snowfall totals lol. Mother nature always has the last say. If I get less than 3" today I will be mad, more than 4" will be a bonus, just my gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRegionRat Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Walked the dog at six. Snowing hard. Probably three inches on the ground now. Winds are howling.

btcs31 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Maybe 4” on the ground, hard to tell with the blowing snow. Might pick up another 1/2-1” at the current rate. Definitely exceeded my low expectations for this area. Roads are a mess as well. Had a car take down a power pole next to a relative’s place. Hopefully they get power restored before temps plunge.

UMB WX Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 4 to 6" here. Some OK drifts and a glaze of ice to top it off. Seeing some winners nearing double digits and losers like the rest of us. Pretty decent freezing rain which is nice to keep the deep base in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherdavewi Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 8.2" of very fluffy snow here on the ridge top just east of La Crosse WI. Still snowing big flakes out there. Pretty good forecast here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Flurries starting back up here after a period of freezing drizzle. Steadier snow looks to be moving in from the west.

First winter event in a long while I was legit pumped for, too. Oh well, into the ice box we go and while the warm up next weekend will feel great after that, if it (coupled with rain) gets us back to brown bare ground after all this...

Given upstream reports, the les is going to have to drive this warning. Not confident. I'll take the under. Luckily for us nearly every model has a nice lake effect signature which guarantees some good ratios. But it should be offset by the pixie dust that I feared would be coming. Probably estimating 12:1 ratios on average should yield accurate totals. I'd go with 6-7" with locally higher amounts (8-9") for North parts of the GTA and Scarborough where I suspect that band will orient itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowcaine Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Nice lake effect streamer just south of the GTA. Should drift north as winds veer from NE to E at the surface. At least we know the ingredients are there for lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
