  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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)
  6. 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)
  7. Im weirdly in the same boat. Normally id be excited but just not excited for this storm
  8. I noticed the lower dew points help minimize melting. 37-38F but dew points in mid 20s allowed for a slow melt
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Ya, you guys got smoked. The storm total here was only about 10-13"
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. Pretty similar feeling. I enjoy deep winter and snowpack retention so I dont really care for March snows. When I hear the CBS March Madness song more times then not in my area its in the 40s, no snow, much longer daylight. Thats when I know im over winter and want spring to settle in. Ideal world Snow cover for most of February and then torch after March 10th
  17. haha hope it happens but this storm has turned into a big dud for Buffalo northtowns-Hamilton. Im pretty much over winter in about 2 weeks so I hope the SE ridge flexes hard and we get 50s haha
  18. ya, I agree. I think I sneak out 3-5" down here in Hamilton/Halidmand. Should be a nice spread the wealth 2-5" though from Kincardine-Toronto and Windsor-London should get 4-6". The next 5-7 days look like the snow won't be going anywhere so we start getting into talk of long duration snow cover which is rare (to a degree) for Toronto
  19. Toronto busted that theory two weeks ago but ya were back. It was kind of weird for YYZ to have two winter storms produce over 12" and averages won out. I wasn't buying your average clipper talk but ya, for GTHA this will be a nothing storm. I am excited to pad the stats and get some fresh snow but unlikely my snow depth changes because of the melting/rain before. Either way I only have about 2-3 weeks left in the winter tank before I start cheering for big SE ridges and 50s/60s haha
  20. Ya, mostly just replaces whatever snow melts from today-tomorrow. lol I hope whatever storm @LakeEffectKingmentioned stays suppressed as Im not home this weekend haha YYZ/Toronto is 2-3" Hamilton 3-5" Buffalo 5-8"
  21. Certainly not one to nit pick often but I’ve never found multi day snow events that interesting. Which is confusing since I love retaining snow pack haha. There’s something about that 12-15 hour storm that puts down 6-8” instead of 10” in 24-30
  22. The models are luckily keeping my expectations down. Could be a big storm or could be a run of the mill light rain to 3-5” event that happens every other November This is definitely what keeps EC from issuing watches so early haha. The moment they issued the watches and special weather statement my group chats started talking about it.
  23. Tonight’s runs are a bit interesting. Lol this thread the needle type of event means I’ll be watching the thermometer and hoping everything pans out on the plus side it’s keeping expectations in check since it’s a 50/50 chance this is a nothing storm
  24. haha ya. It’s also been notoriously north the entire time
  25. Haha rain all the way to Toronto. Somehow one of the worst case scenario’s for me could play out. Rain washes away decent chunk of the 5-8” on the ground and the storm ends up being a mediocre 2-4” Alberta clipper. Only one set of runs but have to imagine Buffalo and EC are nervous they went with winter storm watches so early.
