Description
This was a day after a major winter storm crossed Ontario. A series of cold fronts would usher fresh and clean Arctic air over eastern Ontario. The winds were gusting to 45 knots and perhaps stronger. The Arctic air over the Great Lakes was cold enough to create classic lake effect snowsqualls. What was very unusual was that the squalls reaching Singleton were actually originating from Lake Michigan with a bit of a boost from Lake Huron too. I strongly suspect that there was possibly a cold frontal component to this particular snowsquall as well. Note the shaft of heavy snow beyond the west shore of Singleton Lake. The cumulus tower was strongly bent over with the stronger winds aloft. Cumulus tufts were being shredded and torn apart in the strong winds like cotton candy. The weather is never dull.
I liked the way that the convective squalls look at 6:15 pm. I would also paint how they looked just 15 minutes earlier at 6 pm in #2221 "Singleton Squally Snow".
