sbnwx85 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 2.3 inches so far. Woo. It’s getting to the point where I don’t believe the atmosphere is capable of producing a snow of more than 3 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Already up to about 2" on grassy surfaces. Pavement mostly just wet. I'd say very little chance of a low bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sitting at 3. Would've been half as much but had a nice band sit on top around 10am. Hoping for another inch as the backside moves through. This stuff is sticking to everything. Guess it's better than nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snohio Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 2 inches at Toledo Airport as of a half hour ago. Could make a run at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 got about an inch of snow so far and now in a lull. The next 3 days look to be interesting. Buffalo NWS has now issued blizzard warnings for the southern part of their metro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a decent band this morning and nothing really since.. but as usual this year - the heaviest snow was to come this afternoon - and poof. The models really had a hard time with this one lol.

michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looks like most of southeast MI is between 2-3" so far. Should still end up in the 4-6 range but a lot of paved surfaces dont have much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Once the sun starts to go down this should stick better on the roads. The shaded spots on roads are already getting some accumulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I had 3.6" on the board at 1 PM and it still snowing nicely, so should be able hit 4. Not to be a glass half empty guy because this is nice, but oh what it could have been with some cold air to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Have about 2-3" on the grass...pavement just finally starting to whiten up. Based on radar, it's pretty apparent the heaviest snow is going to miss us to the east. Should finish in the 6-8" range hopefully by 12z tomorrow.

It was further east than the other models. Let’s see if we can squeeze a few inches tom with that LES band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 4.5" here at 6pm and as temps drop into the twenties it's turning into a legit snowstorm. Blowing and drifting, but still a marshmallow world from the wet snow. So pretty! Snow has a while to go still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a classic “all day” snow but getting consistent accumulation has been a uphill battle until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core of the storm is still south of us but we should start seeing more heavier bands after 9pm. Could tally up another 4-6” if they stay consistent.

Last check, YYZ was up to 2.8" (2.8 + 6.7 = 9.5", which is definitely towards the high end of expectations, unless anyone believed the few clown RAP/GFS runs showing 12"+) . We would need to start cranking though at some point. Cloud tops starting to cool and pivot N/NNW across E OH/W PA. Hopefully that's a good sign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little wrap around band kicked it up a notch. Can keep these ticklers off the lake over night might even get another inch. Pretty big cutoff to the SE, SE Madison county maybe 2 inches. Driving around amounts definitely reflect the banding. The secondary roads are shit, just the way I like it lol. I'm still amazed at the drifting, there's some 2 footers out there and still building. Due for another ride in a couple hours.. Biggest drifts since Pumpkin Day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The snowboard had 0.7" at 7 AM, another 3.1" at 1 PM, and 1.9" at 7 PM, for a total of 5.7". The 7 PM snow depth was 5.1". The low ratios and warm ground early hurt the total, but it also kept compaction to a minimum. Still dropping dust. EDIT: I just realized that Alek's call is going to nail it......for my back yard! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess close to 2” has accumulated on grassy areas here in downtown Toronto with the main roads just mainly wet. The latest 00z HRRR has an additional 6” of snow by tomorrow morning.
