T-Dot's First noticible accumulation of the season Observations

11:00pm EDT - Snow is slowing down and the intensity level is dropping, got 6 cm for now and I think we will end up with 8 cm tommorow morning. Areas just west of Toronto could get 12cm. Gonna take a few more photos in the morning. The next storm on the horizon may be sooner than you think, I am currently watching something happening between Nov 24-26, a Clipper could be phased with some gulf moiture and could be the key incredient to the first major winter storm of the season. I will have the details of that up tommorow.

9:45pm EDT - Moderate snow coming down steadily now, accumulation nearing 5 cm. Radar shows no let up in at least 2 hours

8:30pm EDT - After the dryslot half an hour ago, snow picks up and gets heavier. Now falling at the heavest clip so far. 3 cm on the ground

6:30pm EDT - their is a dry slot west of Toronto right now and should move in 30 min or so. Guelph and Kitchner stopped snowing a while ago and should return shortly. Right now their is around 2 cm in Toronto

5:00pm EDT - Light to moderate snow coming down steadly 1 cm so far. The snow amount looks more promising than previously, due to the early start and the steady snowfall. I would make a small adjustment and say 5-10 cm for the GTA and close to 10 in the NIagara region and west of Hamilton

4:00pm EDT - Started to snow 1 1/2 hour ago, intensity is light-medium with flakes, ground is starting to whiten up. Isn't very reflective on the radar due to the small snowflakes. 1/2 cm accumulations thus far.
