Snowstorms Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Puking snow right now in Toronto. Rates of 3-4"/hr. YYZ has reported visibility near zero for the past 3 hours. I measured 11" about 15 minutes ago. Many areas will end up close to 16-20" once all is said and done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous... 000 FXUS61 KBUF 170550 AFDBUF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 1250 AM EST Mon Jan 17 2022 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... ...MAJOR WINTER STORM TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... Regional radars showing an intense band of snow moving north across Western NY, with confirmed snowfall rates of 3-4"/hr and extremely large dendrite conglomorates. A few spotter reports and webcam imagery show sleet mixing in close to Lake Erie, a result of strong downsloping off the higher terrain of NW PA and the Southern Tier. This mix with sleet won`t last too long, but may briefly spread into other areas in Western and Central NY overnight. We expect the heaviest snowfall rates of 2-4"/hr to fall between now and 6am, then snowfall rates will back off to a more manageable 1-2" per hour. Something dtw will never witness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Congrats YYZ on the Blizzard Warning. Interested to see how this one ranks once all is said and done. I live on the west coast now but just popped in to comment. Always wanted to witness a proper Toronto blizzard so I'm glad it finally happened! Enjoy the snow walks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if it challenges the record from December 1944 (19") although YYZ observations are lol. It most certainly is the largest storm for them since the Blizzard of 1999. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly is the largest storm for them since the Blizzard of 1999. As of 12pm YYZ reported 12.6" (32cm). Might add on another inch or two once it's all said and done so no, it'll fall short of that record cause YYZ is lol. But most places in Toronto saw between 15-20", some locally higher. I measured 17". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Measured 18" at my place. Downsview recorded the same amount. Everybody in the neighbourhood agreed that was the most snow they have ever experienced by far. Never seen anything like it before in Toronto. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many places around my area recorded between 17-21". Amazing storm, glad it pull through. It's too bad YYZ only recorded 13.5". What a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The great irony of this thread is it was started by a Chicago guy. Storm dumped a foot of snow to the west of us and to the east. Didn't really see any crying about it in what has been a down year. And I would hope once it was clear this was not a chicago event no one trolled the thread posting goofy commentary about fake model runs et al. In fact, I followed it as I revel in other folks hitting the jackpot and even saw some congratulatory posting from some of the windy city group. Than, someone decides to fire a shot across the bow (no pun intended) at chi town posters and now thread has regressed into a "he said,she said" POS. Sorta funny, actually. BTW...where's Toronto? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
