    Toronto lakeside areas are also interesting since it's not just one thing that is causing a longer growing season. UHI is a big difference and probably adds at least a week or two alone to the growing season (Just guessing) add a slightly warmer climate which allows the lakes to warm a bit more and all of a sudden your growing season is 15-20 days longer compared to 1950

    yep, not supporting palm trees but some mid Atlantic shrubs could start to take in the lakeshore areas. The trees are delayed but the frost dates are actually better compared to inland areas. Lakeshore living just doesnt get the extreme temps that inland living gets. I moved from the lakeshore and its wild the difference. 50F in April along the lake but 70F away. A cold May night that damages crops is 32F inland but 38F and no damage at the lakeshore. Even bigger differences in fall for overnights

    Probably not palms but those along the lakeshore and up the east coast should be able to see at least a few days of frost free weather added per decade. Toronto downtown is already 6B or 7A growing zone. Theres still decent amount of green leaves right along the lake in Hamilton-Toronto.

    Should be no big deal for those. Plus it's barely cold. We only saw some light flurries here but got down to 27F. 50s and no real cold next 7 days.

    where did you find this? Just tried a quick google and didnt see a map like this. Wouldn't mind seeing an entire overview of the US

    Interesting. Environment Canada doesn't end the growing season for Windsor and Toronto-Niagara until October 30th

    Personally I would trade all of JFM winter weather for a snowy November and December. Im not even saying big storms. Id rather 2-3" event in November over a 6-8" in March.

    You can really see how the Great Lakes saves MI, ON, NY and areas right along its shoreline from frost. Only down to low 40s for most of us

    Yep, started about 10 years ago. The most hardy palms can handle our weather (GTA) from mid March-mid November with minimal protection. I like pushing the boundaries with vegetation. Though you wont see me posting warm weather maps as I enjoy winter, especially front loaded winters haha

    Currently the Bananas and windmill are in pots but at my next place I'll be putting them in the ground. I started with 2 musa and now have 6. Going to cut down 4 of them and mulch and store, the other two will come in the house.
  11. mississaugasnow
    What do those go down to? I have a windmill palm and a few musa basjoo that Im going to leave out during this weather.

    Wow, definitely ahead of us. The only real change here is the yellows. Just outside the city though the change is happening fast. Algonquin is at peak and most areas outside Toronto (especially north and east) are 30-40%
  13. mississaugasnow
    Thats interesting, what would you say % of change is? Here it's only 10% and pretty much right on schedule. Peak looks to be mid-late October like normal
  14. mississaugasnow
    Interesting you say that because Ive been driving around Muskoka-Algonquin area east of Georgian Bay and thought the leaves seemed a bit ahead of schedule.

    Yep, looking at cams around fort Frances/ international falls and there’s ice. Leaf out for northern Ontario and central Ontario typically isn’t until mid May. Guessing the same for northern Minnesota
  16. mississaugasnow
    I enjoy working outside in that. This last 14 days plus has been garbage.
  17. mississaugasnow
    I’m real confused recently on everyone saying much nicer weather coming. I guess that’s because a week plus of 40s and rain has lowered our expectations?
  18. mississaugasnow
    If I dig a bit more I could probably find it. Either way I think it’s a safe bet the eastern Great Lakes are in for a colder and wetter May.
  19. mississaugasnow
    However, the shift in the pattern will not have very much staying power. During the final two weeks of May we expect to see a transition to a pattern that will resemble the first week of May with below-seasonal temperatures returning to Ontario and Quebec and above-seasonal temperatures across most of Western Canada, especially Alberta. pretty much not anticipating an abrupt shift to summer this year
  20. mississaugasnow
    Weather network (Canadian weather channel) going with below average temperatures for May. They anticipate a small break mid may and then this cold wet pattern comes back for 2nd half of May and into early June
  21. mississaugasnow
    Ya another freight train of cold, damp weather punt may and wake me up in June haha
  22. mississaugasnow
    Haha I’ll play his part. I won’t say the entire summer but the fact we came out of one of the cloudiest winters ever and it continues is a sign of concern. May is pretty much a write off. I’ll take below average and sunny but it’s below average and cloudy plus rain for the foreseeable future
  23. mississaugasnow
    Ya, not looking promising for the next 2-4 weeks. Which means we will go from 40s and 50s to 80s and 90s like we've become accustomed to
  24. mississaugasnow
    wow you guys already average in the low 50s now? We dont get that in Toronto until early April
  25. mississaugasnow
    34F and Snow currently reported. Judging from the Milwaukee webcams it's accumulating. Hope your enjoying it lol
