It was interesting reading back before your time but you might have enjoyed it. Well objectively, forecasts are better today than they were 10, 20, 30 years ago. Having an impressive repertoire of pattern recognition is fantastic but it can only get you so far. I think the public demands more every year.

There's a certain amount of frustration that happens in situations like this, when forecasts bust or change significantly at the last moment, which happens quite a bit. I think the public 'demand' for accuracy is perhaps understandable but also based on complete ignorance...and that can drive your profession in ways that aren't maybe the most 'science based.' Just my observation, but that's a whole 'nuther discussion you are better versed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This storm will most likely meet the 6" snowfall warning criteria for Toronto but looks to come up a bit short on the winter storm warning of 8-14". Assuming the back end of the storm doesn't absolutely go nuts when it gets here. Had (has?) the potential to be something great but even here in GTA/Niagara its falling short of expectations edit- snow has also stopped here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It also appears the dry slot south of Buffalo is shrinking and there’s some very nice returns behind it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Midway airport in Chicago had two hours of 3 in/hr snow this evening and it’s still snowing heavily. The morning rush should be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Really snowing here! It didn't really start much until about 9:30 ish... Have picked up at least 2 inches since then. So about inch per hour stuff going on in the NW burbs of the Cuse. Time to go for a Jebwalk to enjoy the snow and hope that some paranoid suburbanite doesn't shoot me or call the cops on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowLover22 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 well looks like 2 inches in Geneva will be the final total for snow. Just about to change over the sleet now. Should hit Rochester within the next hour or 2. Wayyyy ahead of schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started snowing hard about 10 and I’ve got about 2 inches now maybe a little more. If it would snow like this until even 5 we would have at least 6 inches but I’m afraid the taint is going to catch up eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Beautiful Jebwalk completed..and I'm alive. Granular sugar just pouring out of the skies. Not large dendrites, but it's coming down so heavy it's adding up. 25 minutes of pure bliss...not worrying about the sleet probably to come. Will reach 3 inches within the hour. Standard synoptic snowfall for this winter season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were able to hold on to this all night, we would have quite the snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Tennessee family had hours and hours of it today. They were supposed to get 6 inches of snow, but instead got a couple inches of snow/sleet/ice mix.

Walking in it, I felt like I was walking in sugar. It definitely wasn't the easy-to-walk-through fluffy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
