Astronomer Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Another datapoint from my area almost halfway between Detroit and Buffalo near London, Ontario (Canada): Blizzard warnings have been issued for a large swath of Ontario. It's been snowing since early this AM and a lot of snow has come down, likely close to 8 inches or more. There's a 50-car pileup on highway 402 close to Port Huron Michigan, and another 100 cars involved in accidents on the way to Windsor/Detroit on the 401. The entire 402 is closed. It's brutal. Lake Erie is down almost 8 feet on the Toledo side of the lake, and up 10 feet on the buffalo side due to the wind. Reed Timmer is posting video from the lakeshore on Twitter.

It's so disappointing that people still feel a need to go about their day/have Christmas get togethers in spite of this kind of warning being put out in these counties. It's selfish and puts the lives of others at risk. Edited December 23, 2022 by Columbusbuckeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MesoscaleBanding Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 This is just down the road...as soon as a 4 car pile-up was removed, 3 more cars went off the road & the situation is currently back to square 1🤦🏻♂️ 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Hiramite Posted December 23, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2022 I haven’t ventured out of the “shelter” of the woods today (other than the walk to the mailbox). Certainly blowing snow but I rarely get much drifting. Pixie dust is winding down. Once it fell below 0° today, it has stayed there. Currently -6°. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbelted Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Apparently it was a wise decision on my part to buy a generator this week. Power went at 2:45 pm and estimated repair time has been pushed back twice by First Energy. It has snowed all day but with little additional accumulation. Very tiny flakes. I would say 3-4 inches on the ground. Currently -4 F. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one with the elements, I tried my best to get the pooled water off them right when changeover started but I can't forsee them making a Christmas appearance 😔 They get so brittle when they freeze over and winds are still going to be up a bit Edited December 23, 2022 by Ohiobuckeye45 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Roads down here are pretty much 1 inch of solid ice anywhere you go. Lots of people stuck on small inclines. 4x4, AWD, or snow tires highly recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House is well insulated so those will keep us comfortable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
