    So judging from upstream Detroit and now Hamilton-Toronto it appears that the models were wrong with the cold air bleeding in. I think Buffalo-Niagara will struggle to reach 6" now as well. Most of that should come with the 2nd wave

    ya, I think this storm is a big time bust for Detroit and Toronto. Local weather station just mentioned max amount will most likely be 4".
  3. mississaugasnow
    Global News dropping amounts. Not a giant surprise. Have you guys lost much to melt?
  4. mississaugasnow
    Ya, these transition events are notoriously bad for amounts. Heavy rain still here and temperature is actually slowly climbing still.
  5. mississaugasnow
    wow just saw Buffalo is 44F. I was skeptical when NWS said no snow until Thursday yet EC said change over by late afternoon/early evening. Heavy rain here as well*
  6. mississaugasnow
    Still rain over here in west Niagara. 38F wind still SW

    I can see it but lowering the totals also makes sense. I think 12" will be the max for NW Ohio and SE MI. Too much qpf was lost to rain/wet snow. Buffalo mentioned ratios could be as low as 4-6:1 for a period of time.
  8. mississaugasnow
    Snow depth down to 4" with a temperature of 37F and light rain. This will most likely become a big glacier since its absorbing the water and not melting as fast as I thought.

    Environment Canada has cancelled the weather advisories for Toronto. Its rare for them to do it before the event has really started but shows how little impact they expect this storm to have. Original winter weather advisory was for 4-8" but now the forecast mentions more rain and max 2-4" for the event.
  11. mississaugasnow
    nah, judging by the newest update from them. Rain all of today with only 2-4" tonight and tomorrow. Not often they cancel an advisory they issued before snow even falls. Shows how little impact they expect this storm to have on Toronto and the suburbs
  12. mississaugasnow
    haha Environment Canada has fully cancelled any advisories for Toronto and GTA. Im somehow still in a warning but I imagine that gets cancelled soon as well
  13. mississaugasnow
    Im in the warning and dont think I see that much haha. The transition events generally underperform here so I see where Ottawa Blizzard is coming from.
  14. mississaugasnow
    Buffalo is talking about 4-6:1 ratios with wave 1. Groundhog Day storms are cursed for GTHA haha. 2011 one fell apart, cant remember 2nd one and this one is turning out to be a run of the mill slop fest

    I mean I hate to nit pick here with the board but Toronto is the centre of the universe since its the largest city on the Great Lakes. So Columbus is actually looking to catch Toronto haha (Chicago has bigger metro though I think)
  16. mississaugasnow
    Im thinking Buffalo goes for advisory. Buffalo-Hamilton needed the 1st wave to be colder and instead were going to rain for most of it. Buffalo even mentions some awful ratios which means its all going to come down to the 2nd wave. Snow pack was putting up a good fight but temperature is 40F and rain. Looks like overall this system will end up being a net loss for my snow depth (started around 7" before today)

    Im weirdly in the same boat. Normally id be excited but just not excited for this storm
  18. mississaugasnow
    I noticed the lower dew points help minimize melting. 37-38F but dew points in mid 20s allowed for a slow melt

    Personally I think an ideal climate for me as I get older would be the Mid Atlantic coast. Much longer summers, winter is generally mild but they also generally snow every single winter. Add in a monster winter storm once in a while and weaker hurricanes....just my favourite type of climate

    I’m just outside mount hope on the mountain. I’m lucky now that living on the escarpment means I enjoy warmer springs and cooler falls (used to live along Lake Ontario) but after 4 winters here I’ve learned I’m about 2-3 km too far south towards Lake Erie to get good lake Ontario lake effect. It happens but I’m in a weird zone where I catch the tail end of Huron squalls more often, followed by Ontario enhanced and finally once or twice a year get hit from Erie
  21. mississaugasnow
    It’s been a while since I’ve been so unsure about what’s going to happen in a storm. Anywhere from 3-12” is a realistic possibility
  22. mississaugasnow
    Ya, you guys got smoked. The storm total here was only about 10-13"
  23. mississaugasnow
    Its more 5-8" on the ground here so after the warmth and rain I expect 2-5" left which will turn into a glacier still only 35F here
  24. mississaugasnow
    Probably not. I think they end up keeping it but saying 15-20cm instead of 20-30cm as currently posted. If we end up reporting 12-13cm at YHM its not a big hit to credibility.
  25. mississaugasnow
    Well you guys down in CNY reeled this in, congrats haha. I will be bowing and throwing in the towel on this storm as it looks like nothing more then a run of the mill 2-5" snow for the GTHA over Bring on Spring! haha
