Now it is freezing rain with a bit of sleet. I know some models had a strip of freezing rain near the front edge. Let us know when it changes to snow.

It is switching to snow right now. This snow will have trouble sticking to the wet, dark pavement, but there is still a solid glaze of ice over the snowpack and patio, so I'll measure there.

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Tonight into the first ~half of tomorrow may very well have the coldest temperatures for the LOT region out of this entire storm. Too bad precip amounts will be pretty light in that timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the initial low wraps around just south of us, the warmer air creeps its way into the GTA. Once the coastal begins developing, we'll see how fast the thermals cool thereafter. Edit: Not overly optimistic right now. It's a pretty complex set-up and timing is everything. I saw the EURO snow map was a huge downgrade. What's the issue? Lack of cold or lack of QPF?

hawkeye_wx Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The area of light precip moving through my area is flipping back and forth between very light freezing rain, sleet, and snow.... mostly non-snow. At this point, I'm not expecting any snow accumulation until later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, Currier and Ives, people ice fishing, etc. If we judged everything by climo, it would be pretty depressing in our part of the world.

Its actually a nice winter day here, everything blanketed in snow, temps remain below freezing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here the precip will start about 9hrs after it started there, and at night of course lol. I'm sure during the course of this 60hr precip window some of the snow will fall during the day.

The initial low ended up further west and stronger compared to yesterdays 12z runs. Consequently, more warmer air creeps into the GTA. That slight shift means we end up too far west for any decent precip from the coastal low once the energy does transfer. Oshawa and Kingston fare much better due to stronger thermal cooling. Tonight's 00z runs will be key if this trend continues or we end up somewhere in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The mesoscale models, once in range, will be able to pick up changes in surface and 850mb temperatures better. How fast the upper level low closes off will determine how it interacts with the developing coastal. A 50 mile shift either way could mean a big difference for the GTA.

Probably won't be ironed out until Friday, unless the models really start to shift in one direction. Still seems like a good bet for at least a little bit of slushy accum on Saturday.
