OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 First hour in the books. 32F with steady snow and wind both picking up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Models are converging on 10-20cm (4-8") from Niagara to Hamilton to Toronto tom night into Christmas morning. There will be a brief but very intense burst of heavy snow, where most of the snow should fall, due to a strong mid-level FGEN band setting up as the secondary low takes over. Looking good for parts of Ohio as well. Most of eastern Ohio is locked in for a good 4-8"+. There could be some freezing rain and ice pellets initially as the gradient cuts through before transitioning over to heavy snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Flake size and intensity has improved. Didn't expect to see large intact dendrites with so much wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a way to end a snowless Christmas season in MSP. I'm jealous, but remember blizzard is more about wind/visibility/conditions than actual snowfall. Nice snow regardless.

Brian D Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Tried my digital camera for the first time. I only have flip phone( nothing else needed) so that's the way that is. Not too bad yet, snow is still moderately light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It continues to get heavier. I can see a block now. Less on the gusts. EDIT: added pic and BTW, back in the mid 90's, we had a storm with such heavy snow with wind like this, that I was unable to see that gray house across the street. That's a snowstorm!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
