MIstorm97 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Flake size has been improving over the last hour. It’s a shame this event is happening with marginal thermos. The extra 500’ of elevation in the NW suburbs appears to be helping things stick more than downwind of the glacial ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm, I've got a little over an inch here in White Lake at 1050 ft. Starting to stick a little on the pavement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 YYZ currently reporting SN with visibility down to 0.5 miles. Up to 1.5" as of 11:00am in my area and coming down nicely. EC has issued a weather advisory for Toronto calling for upwards of 6" by tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Really coming down now. Just measured 2.5" (6.3cm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Congrats to those in ne IN and se MI who saw snow this morning. I saw some nice snow video on TWC from Syracuse IN. Condolences to those who only had sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The grass still has a coating of sleet from early this morning. It then switched to light rain for most of the morning and I finally got to see some flakes as it flipped around noon before the tap turned off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have been right on the edge of the marine air influence. Warmer by the lake comes back to bite. At least it’s November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 After starting as a few hours of light rain, it has been snowing nonstop since around 6:00 a.m. qpf definitely verified however it's extremely water logged snow. Cold spots & elevation mean everything in this borderline event. Snow has been slowly melting for hours even though it has never stopped snowing lol. a general 1-4" around SE MI depending on location. Should finish just under 2" here but not that much otg now. Went to the park earlier and drove around, the pic of conifers was the highest area i found while driving. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Got out of my house today after a week since I had my wisdom teeth out. Took a couple shots of the snow just north of my house. YYZ is reporting 5.2" as of 4pm. I just measured 6.5" and it's been coming down steadily. Going to make a run for 8" if not more at this rate. What a freaking surprise storm. Let it snow. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a freaking surprise storm. Let it snow. Very interesting system and typical November snowstorm. Elevation and distance from Lake making a big difference. Finished with 7cm out here on Hamilton Mountain and its now turned to light rain. Right along Lake Erie had a slushy 1-3cm and the weather network said some right along the Lake Ontario shore in Burlington-Mississauga are reporting the same (1-3cm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, I had a feeling Toronto would get it good. thermals were meh here but zero complaints about a snowy November Sunday. Model qpf was on point but ratios were terrible. I've not yet emptied my gauge but DTW had 0.58" precip, 1.9" snow. About 0.40-0.45" of that fell as snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the gradient across the area. A lot of areas near the Lake, like yourself, had minimal accumulations but as soon as you went 20km inland, amounts picked up drastically. 19.2cm (7.5") as of 6pm in my area. It'll likely be the third largest November storm ever recorded in a single day at YYZ. Top 2 records are >30cm (12"). 45 minutes ago, michsnowfreak said: lol you're prediction happily failed and we still have almost 5 months of snowstorm potential to go.

Three back to back snowy Novembers is a big win in my books especially after going 2009-2012, 2015 and 2016 completely snowless. I was doubtful yesterday as we were riding a thin line with the mixing line so close by but thanks to strong dynamic cooling, we lucked out. ~2" is still not bad given the historic warmth we experienced less than 2 weeks ago. I'm sure it's better than that 2009-2012 run for Detroit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchener poster Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Big time over performer in KW. Picked up 8 inches (20cm). Snowed from 10 am - 6:30 pm. Beautiful snow. Off an on showers now. Initial predictions this morning called for 5 - 10 cm. Up it to 10-15 cm by noon and then half way through they issued a warning for up to 20 cm. Will likely finish with 21-22 cm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure. it was a very blah stretch of Novembers 2009- 0 (only 2nd Nov without a flake) 2010- T (slow start to an almost 70" season) 2011- 0.6" (this fell last day of November) 2012- 0.4" 2013- 1.2" (only 94" more to go lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 After spending 2/3 of this month with any observed sunshine everyday and only a few days with rainfall, it has come to an end yesterday with this crappy weekend. Based on the forecasts, we may very well have to wait until after the beginning of next month for the next day with any sun. Going to be one of those weeks. Not writing off this week yet, but the final third of this month fixing to become a trainwreck. Even this Thanksgiving looks to be a repeat of last year with suicide weather.

It was a brutal summer. Precipitation has been steady the last month and a half. I feel like we just cashed in on one of the top 2-3 snowstorms of the ‘winter’ and couldn’t be happier. This was a perfect snow. Happened on a Sunday. Snowed during the day. Exceeded expectations. Just perfect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 7.5" at YYZ as of 9:00pm. Unofficially the third largest storm ever recorded at YYZ in November. Out of the top 10, there's been 5 since 1991 including last year. Just measured 8.8" at my house. Some compaction going on as it was heavy wet snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest November snowstorm on record for Detroit is 9.2" set wayyy back Nov 11/12, 2019 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think tomorrow will be an inch or so up here as we will probably get some flow off Green Bay keeping us a bit warmer before the transition hits. Down home it'll probably be more like 2-3" on grassy surfaces before the transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
