wow you guys already average in the low 50s now? We dont get that in Toronto until early April

34F and Snow currently reported. Judging from the Milwaukee webcams it's accumulating. Hope your enjoying it lol

Interesting that EC and NWS have vastly different forecasts for Windsor-Detroit area. Windsor is heavy rain tomorrow with half an inch of rain or more changing to snow but only 2". No warning, just a special weather statement. The other side of the river is winter storm warning for 6-10"

Ya, Toronto is already around 26" so even just a bit more will make it look like just a slightly bad winter in the record books. Im thinking Toronto has one more legit winter storm of 4-8" and a few more slop 1-3, 2-4" type events. I think Toronto ends up right around 36" on the season. About 4-6" below normal.

ya, I've been looking at a lot of historical weather for Toronto and March and April the last decade have been very similar. 1-5" falls. They've become near identical in snowfall. But Toronto hasn't seen a snowstorm over 4" in the last decade after March 1st. March and April at least for Toronto has been pretty bad

Yep, snow cover for me. Thats why Im down to about 4ish weeks left of cheering for winter. After that unless it's an absolute monster 12" storm I want 40s-50s and spring haha. I know climo says enjoy 2-4" of wet snow followed by 38F and cloudy in mid March-early April but those just really annoy me haha.

when do you put your palms back out? My banana and windmill palm are inside but I was able to keep them out until mid November.

Thats interesting. I wonder why from pretty much Southern Ontario eastward has warmed, skips Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and resumes again in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

ya the storm was a weird one and was more local and persons history of storms. Ive only lived in inner GTA until 5 years ago and now live in rural Ontario so for me this was my first actual blizzard. I also think media and general population is quick to put emotions into weather. Muskoka laughs at GTA winter storms saying Toronto is weak and in summer its Toronto laughing at Muskoka and Northern Ontario complain about average heat waves. 40-45C happens every summer in Toronto with nights staying above 21C but in Parry Sound, Sudbury, Timmins its all anyone would talk about (I work all over Ontario) Ontario almost has the exact same dynamic as northern states vs southern states in regards to winter and summer weather haha

ended up being the best snowstorm I've ever experienced. Not often I see actual blizzard conditions.

yikes.

Toronto and GTA feel most of the forums pain. Unlikely to do much snow wise but hopefully winds make up for it

the eastern half was walking a fine line. Not sure if GOM was feeding moisture Detroit eastwards would be getting much snow

same thing here in Ontario

I'll take my 10-20cm and run.

check out the north shore of Lake Erie on that run. 70-75mph showing up

Parts of Southern Ontario and WNY look decent on the east side.

Environment Canada came out with a pretty strong statement. They don't normally put out special weather statements 4 days in advance Significant winter storm expected late this week into the holiday weekend.Precipitation may begin as rain or snow late Thursday before possibly transitioning to rain in many areas early Friday. Temperatures are expected to plummet on Friday leading to a potential flash freeze for locations that receive rainfall. Rapidly falling temperatures will be accompanied by strong to potentially damaging winds along with snow that may be heavy at times. Blizzard conditions are possible late Friday into the weekend for areas downwind of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.A multi-day lake effect snow event is expected into the weekend in the wake of the system for locations east of the Great Lakes.While there is high confidence in a high impact winter storm, the details regarding wind speeds, precipitation types and amounts remain highly uncertain at this time. Please monitor your local forecast and the latest alerts for your area.Consider altering plans through the holiday weekend as travel conditions may become dangerous. Extensive utility outages are possible. Temperatures Friday night into the weekend will likely be the coldest of the season to date.

Over here in the GTA I would take 2-5" with 50mph gusts every day.

Pretty bad start to winter for the Great Lakes. The cold and snow keep getting pushed back so its not the worst call haha

Canadian side of Lake Erie getting some of the highest amounts Ive seen in a while. 15-60cm from Long Point ON-Fort Erie ON. Discussion:An intense snow squall is expected to develop over Lake Erie tonight and may impact parts of Long Point through Friday before lifting northward toward the remainder of the Lake Erie shoreline on Saturday. At this time, the highest accumulations are most likely over Long Point. Kincardine-Owen Sound-Parry Sound off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay looking at 30-60cm

I’ve been wondering as well. Port Charlotte got some bad winds but may miss the 12-18 foot surge

Gasparilla Island, 125mph

My in-laws place is right by El Jobean bridge. They aren't there but the house is in the red evacuate zone. Do you know if a lot of the area is staying? This will be one of the first storms I track where family property is on the line.

Yep, my in laws have a place right on the water in Port Charlotte. They've been busy the last few days trying to coordinate from Canada.
