RT @rcbstormpost: ...we know these systems can deliver anywhere from 5 to 25 cm, we forecast 10-20 cm, & recorded 10 cm ( for Metro)......realistically that's the typical kind of accuracy/reliability to expect for these kinds of storms.

by Ryan Snoddon 2/4/2012 4:29:08 PM

by Rodney Barney via twitter 2/4/2012 2:03:17 PM
As advertised, this Storm is more Blow than Snow. Even w just light snow this aft, blowing snow & reduced visibility are main concerns #nlwx

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/4/2012 1:27:09 PM
For Gander/NE coast: expect steady light snow/blowing snow today, then further deterioration as onshore enhancement ramps up tonight. #nlwx

by Rodney Barney via twitter 2/4/2012 1:26:38 PM
As of 9:30 am, 9 to 10 cm down in Metro. Likely 2-5 cm still to come today, as juiciest part of Storm has moved to the North. #nlwx

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/4/2012 1:22:55 PM

Not so much the Snowfall, but the Wind & Blowing Snow will be the biggest concern with this #nlwx Storm. Wind Map: twitpic.com

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/3/2012 10:57:59 PM
Snowfall map: 10-20 cm. Areas in purple could see 2-5 cm more Sat night (N.Avalon) & Sun morning (Bonavista) #nlwx twitpic.com

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/3/2012 10:54:55 PM
Snowfall rates for this storm generally only 1 cm/hr, maybe 2 cm/hr at times. Main concern is the low visibilities and the duration. #nlwx

by Rodney Barney via twitter 2/3/2012 7:33:57 PM
Blizzard conditions for Gander and the NE coast mainly a Sat Night event. Snow begins near noon Sat and ramps up in the evening. #nlwx

Timing still looks on target to bring snow into the Metro area around midnight. Could see an odd flurry earlier ahead of main precip. #nlwx

by Rodney Barney via twitter 2/3/2012 7:09:42 PM
With Winds ramping up tonight & staying strong right into Sunday morning, Metro is likely to see 30+ hrs of Winds sustained 50+ km/h. #nlwx

Snow/Wind begin this eve, ramp up overnight on the Avalon & NE Coast. Staying Windy, but conditions improving Sat evening-overnight. #nlwx

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/3/2012 11:56:41 AM
However as pointed out, the differences in the Storm tracks dropping 5 cm & 15-25 cm are very small. Extremely tough forecast. #nlwx

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/3/2012 11:36:47 AM
Frustrating. Still very little model consistency overnight. Still have 5 cm ideas & 25 cm ideas. Either way, very strong Winds. #nlwx

by Ryan Snoddon via twitter 2/3/2012 11:32:59 AM
Blizzard Warn Criteria: 4+ hrs, Winds 40+ km/hr, causing widespread reduced visibility to 400 m or less, due to blowing/falling snow. #nlwx
