on_wx Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Love watching these heavy snowshowers die as they move towards Toronto and then flare up again over the Lake. Last winter in this death hole. I swear to god, buddha, and allah. Snowstormcanuck, I didn't think we[Waterloo] could do it, but we did! I'm very proud to say that we successfully managed to maneuver through all the snow showers without getting much more than a brief dusting! All heavier bands on route were able to dissipate or shift direction just before impact. Just look at the 3hr Exeter loop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You and I are paddling the same boat in circles my friend. Although I think one's valiantly trying to drop in from Brampton. Going to go outside now and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Buffalo radar looks like it's going to miss Etobicoke * Oh, it made it! haha, yeah. About 90 seconds of +SN. Still snowing lightly but it's about to end. Just enough to whiten the rooftops. Maybe 0.4 or 0.5cm. Looking at KC radar, looks like KW got grazed as well. Win-win!

michsnowfreak Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was over in Grosse Pointe and I also had a pretty decent snow shower (much bigger flakes and higher visiblities), although it was flurrying pretty good the entire time I was out. I was worried I wouldn't see anything at first. That one intense shower was the only one my backyard experienced the entire day. Downtown has been hogging the action too. Liek I said, it felt like a summer day out there with the popcorn showers plus how the winds picked up when the showers came through. Not to mention the showers had a convective nature to them and the CB clouds (in one area it could be pouring snowfalkes, go a block and you have nothing). Just had 0.1" here, and it has mostly evaporated (except in cracks and against curbs). Missed the better stuff to my north, but thats how lake effect works here 9 times out of 10. (Another reason i was so ticked about losing the snowcover on NY). Now, if we get a 94 band developing, that is a different story (hence the 1 time out of 10 lol), so we will see what Thursday brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That analog would be interesting if the CMC had a chance of verifying as is. The way it handles that cutoff is all wrong though, and if anyone has been watching the trends with the cutoffs off the west coast this past week, the models have been way too bullish with the eventual solution. The CMC has been especially awful and has been way too intense with each cutoff. The GFS had a few hiccup runs, but for the most part has performed the best with the rapid weakening as these cutoffs eject over a weak baroclinic zone and in a region of fast westerly confluent flow. The positive influence the CMC has with the western trough tanking over the plains is likely going to be wrong as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'll 3rd this even if Detroit only got I believe 8.2" again Well the storm total was 10.1" from Jan 25-27th. Its very rare to consider a storm lasting more than 2 calendar days, but it did, from late on the 25th through early the 27th. It seems the total is low, but at the same time, its hard to tell. Measuring would be an absolute nightmare. FIrst of all, snow depth was 7" pre-storm. And the wind was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I only got a dusting today, that's no comparison to missing out on potentially 2-4" of pure lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a little, Im sure that was negligible. the drifts were massive, Ive seen pictures from my uncles mom, but I only have the one my mom took.
