Its good you can get some bonus snow with a North East wind. You ever get any erie action. Suspect that's rare would have to be a ssw wind The GTA is getting some streamers tonight and so am I currently (to keep the convo more relevant) The wind is allowing the Lake Huron bands to push all the way into Toronto/Hamilton. Winter weather travel advisories for 1-3" tonight from Lake effect. Barrie (120K population) could see 16-24" by Tuesday morning. Most of the southern Ontario snow belts are under a snow squall warning for 8" or more 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been waiting a couple years for an event like this, long overdue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why EC had to pull the trigger on winter weather advisories for Toronto-Niagara region. Certainly not big dog numbers but enough to get peoples attention 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't envy the truckers doing the late night hauls tonight on the 400/11, but would love to be up there enjoying it from inside a house haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It seems like WNW flow events often occur during the wee morning of the hours when I'm supposed to be sleeping...and then I'm up til like 3 in the morning. Is there a meteorological reason that this happens, or has it just been coincidental? I know there are different wind shifts that can occur at night that do affect bands. Is there something that happens overnight that helps to push the bands onshore more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something to your idea I think, but some coincidence involved also. I remember discussing with some people years ago the diurnal and nocturnal effects on lake effect snow. For example, especially as we get later in the season, the sun's heating tends to create a more cellular structure as opposed to a single band. Then, at night, more solid banding tends to form. You don't read too much about this in NWS discussions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of it certainly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim123 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Becoming very squally in roc. Band from Huron over ontario. Probably won't last long as wind is backing more west now. Eastern lake ontario is about to launch off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarbear Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hit snow just south of driver’s village. Lost sight of the rd around Cicero with the worst from about Oneida lake up to parish, especially closer to parish. As soon as I hit exit 33 shut right off and was more intermittent til near Pulaski where it briefly picked up again. Rds cleared up around pierpont roughly, dry in Watertown . Headed back down in a few minutes… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Flurries here. Only accumulation has been from the frontal snow last night. About 1" total. It's all north of here as expected. Off to Hancock shortly... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess 8-10”, solid 3-4” on 81 at the Mexico exit coming back. Seemed like the band consolidated a little and moved N. Hit snow near sandy creek but out of it by central square 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the intensity of the band just north of you around Perth. It’s only about 3-4 miles wide but is probably producing 1-2 inches per hour. I assume you’re south of that. Just like me it’s very frustrating to be a spectator in a front row seat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
