    Just enough distance between Detroit and Toronto to have different record low years. I think 2009-2010 you guys had an okay winter and obviously the opposite happened in 1936-1937
  2. mississaugasnow
    So for you guys to have a bad year you really have to have a bad year lol One storm in March can make sure you don’t finish top 5. Toronto doesn’t have that luxury

    Looking at this list and it’s pretty crazy that with records from 1937 onwards that 4 of the least snowy winters are in the last 20 years. Real rough stretch from 2006-2012

    Wow 1936-37 saw about 24” (had to find that as Pearson starts a year later) 1st 2011-2012 saw 16.8” 2nd 2009-2010 saw 20.6” 3rd 1952-1953 saw 21.2” 4th 2006-2007 saw 23.7” 5th 2015-2016 25.9” (1936-37 but that wasn’t Pearson) Currently Toronto has seen 4.1” so we would need to see a pretty snowy mid January to mid April to make sure we don’t crack the top 5 this year

    When would you start to talk futility? If I remember correctly April 2016 was coming out of Nino and Toronto saw a 4” storm in early April and a few more 1” event. I believe that April was our snowiest month that winter. That December also saw almost no snow. That winter ended with around 25” with 8” coming in April. So I feel pretty good starting to talk top 5 least snowiest winter for Toronto in the next few weeks.

    A couple weeks ago we discussed all time low snowfall records being possibly broken. Though it still is really early are you starting to at least entertain the idea? I think Toronto ends up around 20" on the season which is well below average but not record low. Just enough events in the second half of winter to make sure we don't hit record low. Going to be interesting though. 0.5" expected NYE

    Ya, I haven't seen any tree buds personally. The gardens on the other hand I have seen and I have seen insects out flying around. Not to often I see those end of December.
  8. mississaugasnow
    Are you guys starting to see some buds on trees? Noticed Ontario twitter has been sharing photos of really green grass, tiny buds and some very early spring gardens trying to come to life.

    Ya, December will end up colder than November here in Toronto. November is so far 3C warmer and that’s without the next few days coming up closer to average
  10. mississaugasnow
    Yep, should also help get some decent lake effect into February with the cold air.
  11. mississaugasnow
    Going to be real tough for the Great Lakes to see average ice coverage as well.
  12. mississaugasnow
    Ya, it's nice to see the change to more seasonal weather. Certainly opens up the door to at least the chance of some snow. The other hand is that it looks pretty boring and the chance of getting anywhere close to normal snowfall on the season is leaving the station fast. A few consistent weeks of actual winter in late January-February is what I'm banking on. Couple storms (3"+) and some consistent snow cover

    are your palms still unprotected? I put mine in the garage but might bring them out for Christmas Eve and Christmas haha
  14. mississaugasnow
    Looking like a nice 1-3” event for GTA. With tomorrow also staying below freezing will allow for a nice Christmas feel.
  15. mississaugasnow
    This is the normal in cm. I converted to inches for this discussion. You can see the bottom right says based on data from 1991-2020
  16. mississaugasnow
    30 year average. Torontos Nov-3.5", Dec- 9.5", Jan- 11.4", Feb- 11" Mar-6.3" Apr-2" Interesting to see that Toronto seems to start a bit earlier and stabilizes, while you guys rocket up and then we both finish March and April near identical. My apologies about saying near 10" in mid December. Actually writing out the averages I guess it's actually about 8.5" at this time.
  17. mississaugasnow
    Interesting that your average to date is so low. Torontos is already 10" by mid December. Losing December puts Toronto in a big hole since its essentially tied with January and February as the snowiest (10-12" each month) March and November average 4-6" and under 2" in April So with models showing nothing next two weeks, it puts Toronto in almost guaranteed below average snow year.
  18. mississaugasnow
    Ya, just takes one storm to pretty much get rid of a chance. I enjoy all records though so I wouldnt mind breaking it if were going to have a bad winter
  19. mississaugasnow
    Whats the lowest amount of snow Detroit has seen in a winter? Im wondering if Toronto can break the 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 seasons records of under 16-20" So far Toronto has seen about 4"
  20. mississaugasnow
    I wonder what ever happened to stormchasercanuk. I think hes checked in a few times over the last few years but dont know if he did last year.
  21. mississaugasnow
    I remember the eastern US weather forum and AccuWeather forums. I forget how I found this one
  22. mississaugasnow
    Yep, and could last a while
  23. mississaugasnow
    2009-2010 was a decent winter for you?! Thats crazy because that winter is ranked as one of the worst in Torontos history haha. 52.5cm or about 20" of snow for the entire season (average season is around 40-45" across the GTA)
  24. mississaugasnow
    Interesting, that's probably why Ive noticed the warming a bit more compared to you. Toronto-Buffalo-Ottawa are in no mans land between North East and Midwest. Though I was also going to respond to his post about snowfall falling off a cliff haha. Even 4F warmer which would be the high end like you mentioned still only brings me from 29F to 33F in the dead of winter. It will still snow and we will still have winter storms lol
  25. mississaugasnow
    Yep, Toronto is a solid zone 6B and borderline 7A. I dont think the coldest nighttime lows have changed a lot but in Torontos case they are getting harder and harder to get since UHI is impacting it. So where Toronto used to see 0F on an good cold night its 5F Thats especially the case in summer now where overnight lows are much warmer than average.
