That's the frustrating thing about lake effect. I live in lake-effect-land and the "storm" yesterday was a total bust close to home (maybe 5 cm/2"), while the town 40 minutes south got 30 cm (that's a foot).

You think that's bad? At UB last year we got a few flurries on campus. 10 miles South the Thruway shut down because they got 3 feet. It was real nutty.

Now this is my kind of weather...

The Hinterlandian "lake effect engine" is finally kicking in to gear:

Snow squall watch for
Huntsville - Baysville issued

Snow squalls with whiteout conditions beginning this evening.

Cold southwest winds over the relatively warm waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will create favourable conditions for the development of snow squalls. Off lake flurries will develop today and intensify into snow squalls this evening. Snow squalls will become briefly disorganized overnight as a cold front sweeps across the lakes. However, as the winds again become southwest Thursday morning, snow squalls are expected to redevelop and persist into Thursday evening.

Local snow amounts of 10 to 15 cm are likely with the snow squalls tonight. An additional 15 cm are expected Thursday. At this time the snow squalls are forecast to move around as the winds shift slightly during the event. If the snow squalls remain stationary for a prolonged period, then higher local snow amounts are possible.

The strong southwest winds will also result in blowing snow leading to local whiteout conditions.


Whoever writes these forecasts has an intersting sense of humour. Can you picture the snowsqualls as they become "briefly disorganized?" What do they do, go out and have a beer so they can "redevelop and persist?"

You don't need a computer to know that the weather is changing: temperature dropping, rain changing to snow and the wind is picking up. This bodes well.

Hidden Bump lake effect:


Looks like six inches of new snow on the ground at 6:30 am and still coming down. I'm going to check it out. 108 underfoot should help it feel like a lot more.

Edit, an hour later: in the light of day and having now stepped outside, it might be more like four inches. Nice and dense "cold snow" though. Still snowing. Whatever, I'm going skiing.

Do all Canadians get their own personal snow radar?

Yes, that why our taxes are so high. Actually. I don't live in the bullseye on that radar but near the town of Huntsville, down and right of centre. Hidden Bump is just outside of town.

So are the people right on the shore of Lake Ontario frequently coated in ice?
