  1. Should bring back the pink weenie tag from Eastern. I'd wear it with pride.
  2. First whiff a roo from the EURO. Could be an aberration. Wouldnt give up yet on a lighter snowfall at least. But, yeah, the setup does not bode well for us. Would need to thread the needle with a west based NAO.
  3. Sure. ORD at 14.6" on the season. They need a storm, stat.
  4. Total whiff here on the EURO. Be glad once this blocking is gone. Cold and dry is the worst.
  5. Set up sort of reminds me of March 2001, although the northern stream portion in that case had 3 closed contours at H5, so much stronger. Ended up being a widespread 6-8" snowfall even with the main sfc reflection off the east coast. A best case scenario.
  6. Goofus kuchera clown map with 9" at yyz. Inverted surface trough from EC low on steroids.
  7. Would love to lose that piece of energy on the backside of the W Atlantic trough that hangs back in Quebec. Real culprit in having the storm fall apart as it heads east. But, as usual, what I want and what will be are not going to align. 2-4" with maybe a bit more if that lake helps out is my early call. We'll have to watch out for models underestimating the amount of dry air on the northern flank though.
  8. Nice shift north from the UKIE. Again, not expecting the brunt of this but even a 2-4" deal would be welcomed. Weak LES signals showing up but would like less dry air, higher inversion heights and colder air at 850 before I really got excited about that.
  9. 7 billion people on this planet. With Twitter, fb, boards like this you get to see the ubiquity of snow-weenism. Back when I was a kid, I thought I was the only one.
  10. Same latitude as MKE with probably 90% less chance of seeing a >6" storm in October or April. put that in your pipe and smoke it. Wouldn't have it any other way. Rest of the country summers too short and winters too cold.
  11. Feel this one is a candidate to come back north some. Probably still a graze job for YYZ but those further to SW on the northern edge should stay tuned. Could get thumped.
  12. Added a cm to my running total due to that missing data from early Dec. I emailed EC and apparently that data is not recoverable
  13. Very cool. We've gone back up! Yeah, it could very well be 4 consecutive "good" winters in a row, done in stealthy Toronto fashion.
  14. What a dog's breakfast of a storm here. Even King Euro mishandled the placement of the defo band snows. Won't know for sure until the final number's out, but with today's coating YYZ up to around 30" on the season. 2020-21 could very well be like last year: end up with 55" but damned if you can remember how.
  15. 2.4" at YYZ as of 18z. Even with only scraps the rest of the way should eke out low end of my forecasted 3-4.
  16. Another short-term crapping of the bed by almost all the models. wouldn't be surprised if add'l accums are limited to 1" or less.
  17. +SN at 11am. Grass completely covered. That death band looks like it dropped 1-1.5" in 30 minutes. Too bad it's so narrow. Yes, we're going to have slot issues making the pcpn more showery.
  18. Thinking 3 or 4" mby. 4-6 lollies, shockingly, probably going to be to my NW. Oh well, just nice to be shoveling again.
  19. Agree with Blizz96's assessment on twitter, LES is not going to be a big factor in this one. HRRR overdone. Thanks.
  20. Trending to a 3-6" event locally. Surprised how far north this ended up coming given the downstream blocking.
  21. Still waiting for a snowstorm worthy of reminiscing about.
  22. When I saw this pattern emerging 3 weeks ago, I really had hoped being a La Nina year the high latitude blocking over the N. Atlantic would have been short-lived. Way more persistent then I would have expected. Sort of reminds me of 09-10. One of the dullest stretches of winter weather I can remember.
