#2221 "Singleton Squally Snow"

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. I do not own an anemometer but things tend to break with wind gusts of 50 knots. 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. The dark looking cloud low on the horizon was producing a heavy snow flurry. The snow would be much closer in just 15 more minutes. The weather is never dull.

I liked the way that the convective squalls look at 6:00 pm. I would also paint how they looked just 15 minutes later in #2220 "Windy Singleton Snow Squalls".
