Yep, Hamilton still has the tiger cats and Toronto the Argos. The CFL had to miss the entire season in 2020 and they hope to play in 2021. Im a Bills season ticket holder but I still do occasionally watch the CFL in the summer and almost always tune in for the Grey Cup. I know ESPN plays the Grey Cup but I was surprised when I was in Pennsylvania a few summers ago and saw ESPN playing a regular season CFL game haha. I watched it mostly because I was amazed they were showing it Edit* I hated the Toronto series the Bills did. I understand why they did it, but I hated it haha.

Pretty close to what Im thinking as well. Going with 30-13.

Lets go Bills! 33F and Sunny for the game. Id be lying if I didn't say I'm very nervous haha

Yep, I was enjoying the random 1-2" snowfalls. Luckily GTHA goes into this boring period with about 3-4" of snow on the ground. Ideally it holds off until late January and we get 4-6 weeks of cold shots and storminess and pattern change again in mid march with above seasonal temps. I dont even know the last time we had a warm second half of march and April.

Almost like clockwork once January hits I start looking at first signs of spring in the Deep South. Still a few weeks away but by late January the first signs start appearing along the gulf coast. February and march are fun to watch it take off from Deep South into places like Virginia/Kentucky

Theres also always a communist bogeyman hiding whenever conservatives feel upset or scared. 1960s civil rights- you bet commies are coming to integrate the south Late 1960s anti-vietnam- you bet commies are the main organizers 1980s-pro abortion- nailed it again with those atheist commies 2010s tax increase and affordable care act/occupy Wall Street/black lives matter- You bet every one of those was orchestrated by commies How else would conservatives rile up the base without yelling communists?

Ontario sees nearly 3000 new cases today. Hospitalization and ICU are at record levels beating the previous peak in the spring.

I know winter is only a quarter of a way thru but March to me isn't a real "winter" month. Its similar to November in the sense that sunny and 60s in march happens regularly enough that its baked into our minds that March is pretty much a spring month. January and February are winter months but by late February there's no denying sun angle and the first warmth you start to feel in the car with just the sun out. Thats also completely up to what you consider winter. Some of the upper midwest and prairie provinces biggest snowstorms/blizzards are in April and October which to me is a waste because even that far north its quickly back into the 50s-60s with sun almost right after the snow ends.

Im going to enjoy tracking this. You guys deserve a big storm

I know this is a slow start for CNY but I dont think what were seeing are Great Lakes cutters recently. CNY is in an even weirder position compared to most eastern Great Lakes region. Your almost better with those monster storms that ride up the coast or just inland. But a typical Great Lakes cutter is one that goes up towards Chicago and the western Great Lakes, giving Michigan, Ohio, PA, NY rain and Wisconsin, N. Illinois ect.. a snowstorm. On the plus side your sub is pretty small so you share a lot of victories but also the loses lol. Since I live in GTA I use your sub and Great Lakes/OV sub. That ones massive haha. I track snowstorms with people from Iowa, Minnesota all the way to eastern Ohio haha. Buffalo is finally cashing in big time since last night and its nice to see them get the 4-8" snowstorm followed by 15-25" of Lake Effect.

I will always still visit the banter but... somehow there's a swath from immediate Detroit Metro down to Cleveland up thru most of southern Ontario including GTHA and depending how the lake effect snow goes tonight-tomorrow immediate Buffalo Metro. This region has repeatedly cashed in with multiple 1-3" and a few legit snowstorms in the 4-8" with Christmas delivering Toronto-Buffalo and Cleveland a 4-8" snow and Detroit a surprise 2-3" snow. Reading large parts of the sub talk about 1" being the biggest event of the year makes me feel pretty grateful that I'm now approaching 20" on the season before January.

YYZ is at almost 20" on the season before this storm. Where I live is in Haldimand County, about 15-20 minutes south of Hamilton. Ive received about 14" so far. The big difference was that storm earlier in the year where YYZ and most of the GTA got 7-11". I managed a decent 2-3" slop and then rain. That storm alone accounts for much of the disparity. Biggest storm of the year so far for me was 15.5cm or about 6". Im at a little over 3" fallen so far (taken about an hour ago) and it looks like this should end up my biggest storm of the year so far.

Heading to bed with now just over 8cm or a little over 3". Went for a long walk with the fiancé and the dog in it an hour ago. For this to be the biggest storm of the year (in my backyard) we just have to get over 15.5cm. A lot of the models were showing over 8" here by tomorrow afternoon so looks like the biggest storm of the season for me will coincide with Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.

Niagara Falls reporting 32F and snow. KBUF still 35F and light rain. This looks to be a very tight gradient setting up in Buffalo metro. 31F here just outside Hamilton with light snow. About 1" so far. Local TV mets now calling for widespread 6-8" with 8-12" not out of the question in some areas. will try to update a few times throughout the night. Going to go for a nice long snow talk with the dog and fiancé.

ya, so far its been the story of the winter haha. I'm 1/3 on these tracks this year, watching Brampton/Markham get 10-20cm while I get 2-5cm. Either way I think Christmas morning will be white, just depends if its a legit winter storm or just a nice coating. Hope everything is going well with you and you're able to make the most out of this weird holiday season. A bigger storm with actual winter storm watches might be a blessing. With a lockdown of Southern Ontario looming on Boxing Day, a storm might persuade more people to forgo the drives across the region and stay home.

haha the west trends have all but ended the storm for the Buffalo-Niagara Falls and GTA. Thankfully this storm has received almost no hype in the immediate GTA so I dont even need to update anyone to calm down. I still think christmas itself is somewhat white with 2-5cm of snow and flurries. Lake Effect though in southern Niagara and Buffalo could be interesting

ya as someone not seeing any lake effect from this- Im excited for 1-3" of wet snow to make Christmas Day look great. Aside from that I'm mostly too far west in this sub because for immediate WNY and GTA to get a good storm 80% of this sub gets rain and in the other sub I post in (Great Lakes) I'm too Far East where if I get good snow most of that forum misses it or if they get good snow I get rain

Looks like you guys will get something decent which is great. On the other hand all the promise of big winter weather seems to be falling apart. Hamilton is rain followed by flurries and cold air. lol watching the goalposts get pushed back every few weeks by those saying big time Nina winter on the way is pretty interesting (for the Great Lakes)

Ill be honest, I'm not convinced. Its still 6+ days out and the models the last few years have always shown cold and stormy pattern 5+ days away and then magically it turns to a warmer more strung out solution.

lol I must be the only one who doesnt mind it. Environment Canada also updated its radar recently (for the app) I use radar scope personally but I also check out NWS and EC ones. Why doesnt the NWS have an app? EC came out with an app maybe 1-2 years ago and I like it.

Did you get much last night? Though sucks to miss the main storm, woke up to 1.5" of powdery snow. With the snow cover -5C and grey overcast skies its my perfect winter morning. Unlike all the other storms this year, this one actually has a winter feel to it. The other ones felt more spring like with temperatures rising back to above 0C once the snow stopped.

YYZ and most of the GTA in general keeps its run of good luck going. widespread 1-3" for everyone from the Nor'easter and another 2-4" for areas that can get the lake effect snow. Ill wait and see but some local stations are even mentioning Oakville-Hamilton could see 6-8".

Nope, but Cleveland tonight on MNF looked the most packed out of any stadium I've seen yet. My one friend kept saying in the summer the NFL won't allow any fans and I said I bet fans go if allowed. That argument has now turned into well I didnt think they'd be dumb enough. Moving the goal posts as I never agreed on the smartness of the idea. We can laugh now at full MLB stadiums in mid/late summer because it sounds dumb but if the NFL and College Football are doing 5-30K fans in the midst of the worst part of the entire pandemic I don't know how you don't think some MLB teams will be going full steam ahead. By July even Canada is supposed to be well over 50% vaccinated and with the warmer weather (as Canadians saw this past summer) the numbers will plummet.

Im thinking that NHL and NBA playoffs have some fans in the stands. MLB is the first one to most likely do the slow build. Maybe 25% in April, 50% May, 75% June and full by July.

I guess you didnt see me complaining in the banter. Ill save you the click. The start to this winter is okay in my backyard but sucks overall and I don't know if the storminess everyone thinks will happen will actually happen. lol everything else on this sub is weather aside from this one thread
