Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 5 hours ago, Toronto4 said: I remember Environment Canada was forecasting 15-20 cm (6-8”) of snow for the Toronto area. I believe a blizzard warning was issued but we only got around 6 cm. The upcoming storm is a massive head scratcher for Toronto forecasters. Anthony Farnell just tweeted that Toronto could see anywhere between 5 to 35 cm (2 to 14”). It’s going to be a nail biter and hopefully we’ll know better once the northern stream piece is sampled. I recommend checking out the Upstate NY sub-forum - they are covering this storm in depth as it looks to impact western New York and Ontario more than the midwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalfy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think we may be in for a surprise. Mid 30s on ground in St. Louis and current sounding is suggestive of snow, which would imply the entire event is snow, a much colder scenario than modeled. QPF for short range guidance HRRR and RAP is around 0.5. Assuming sub 10:1 rates, the 3-5'' call seems like it would be accurate with amounts on the higher end of the range. I hope I'm interpreting this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for favourable model trends for tonight’s model runs. Should be a fascinating storm to follow. Could be one of Toronto’s biggest storms in quite a while.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 6pm update 3.7” at the Airport 4.6” at the NWS office Final total might add another tenth or so but this should about wrap it up. Very pleased with how this event turned out imby. Snow depth back up to 7” with 28.5” season to date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 5 hours ago, Brian D said: Starting to see a push from the north. 2 bands going right now. One over me, and another just north. Should see the second over me soon. Duluth/Superior should see stronger action later this afternoon. Just snow showers here now with snow reports of 5-7" around town. The band is hitting the head of lake now on a NE trajectory. They should see their totals jump now, too. Next round comes mid next week with another clipper.

Radtechwxman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This has to be the lamest snow "event" I experienced in a long time. Pixie dust. Wet a** pixie dust. Not sticking. Temps right at 32. Snow has barely made it east of me and you can tell it's fighting dry ne flow. I will be shocked if we get a inch. Make winter storms great again. This sucks.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I'm estimating about 4.8" here. The wind is making it difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny8 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Has been coming down decently in the north side of Chicago, but slowed for the moment in Irving Park. It looks on the radar like Metro Detroit is getting some lake bands? Fun to see the NE winds putting lake effect there and up near Green Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Looks like maybe an inch. Haven't done measurements for awhile though. Lots of blowing of what little we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Seeing best snow now I seen the whole event. Getting some periods of banding and occasional bursts of moderate snow. Temperatures dropping finally with strong ne winds allowing snow to dry out and blow around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Overall, 5-7" along the North Shore (Duluth to Silver Bay). Still snowing out on the lake with snow showers moving inland. Fresh powder for the ski slopes. Another round of snow Tues, then bitter crap returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
