skidooer Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 We had one last week as well. Very disappointing. On the bright side, that doesn't mean we can't have a day or two of open trails. It just won't last much longer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Mossy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My gosh, there's alot that goes on behind my back.... I'm actually in Goderich right now - AT WORK - and it is overcast but clear...I've checked the radar and it seems to be building over the lake...here's the Environment Canada storm warning for this area: Goderich - Bluewater - Southern Huron County 5:56 AM EST Wednesday 6 February 2008 Winter storm warning for Goderich - Bluewater - Southern Huron County continued Snow with some ice pellets and freezing rain today and tonight. This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A moisture-laden winter storm continues to affect southern Ontario. This storm is particularly complex since it is comprised of two centres..The leading centre over Pennsylvania and the other over Illinois. They will move slowly northeastwards today. Significant moisture and energy is being tapped from the gulf of Mexico which resulted in heavy mixed precipitation in the overnight hours. Upwards of 11 cm of snow was recorded at Pearson airport by 5 AM and 10 cm at Point Petre. However..There has been a report of 15 to 20 cm in west Mississauga. A mixture of ice pellets and rain or freezing rain fell farther south. Many areas north of Lake Erie received 25 mm of rain and freezing rain with the mercury hovering near zero. In areas where temperatures are just below freezing significant ice accretion has likely occurred. The Pennsylvania low pressure centre is responsible for this first blanket of snow and ice. As the low moves east a lengthy break is expected for 6 or perhaps 9 hours today. The break is arriving in the greater Toronto area just in time for the morning commute. Although the commute will be difficult..The easing of the snow may alleviate some commuter stress with improved visibility. During the break some freezing drizzle and patchy freezing rain or light snow will improve visibilities but may cause icy conditions to persist. During the afternoon hours the precipitation will intensify again as the Illinois low approaches..Causing a switch over to snow heavy at times with 15 cm or more across many districts tonight. Significant ice accretion over areas south of a line from Sarnia to Hamilton and total snowfall amounts of 15 to 30 centimetres north of this line may be expected before tapering off later tonight. Travellers should be prepared to alter plans accordingly due to dangerous driving conditions from reduced visibility in snow and slippery roads. Who knew I was full of such useful information, eh?

skidooer Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well, I'm impressed. We actually got the 25cms, or more! Pretty good considering we were still looking at the grass this afternoon. Got to put a few miles on the sled even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
