  1. wow, you guys have been cashing in down there. Toronto will finish with around 11" which is pretty much normal for January.
  2. Ya, it will have to be a very snowy 4-6 week period. The biggest storm this year has only been 3" haha. To get anywhere near normal would mean multiple 4-8" storms. Unless the season comes out in the second half of February like SF did last night this season is getting close to being a dud. As a Bills fan I feel for the Lions this morning but I couldn't resist putting that reference in.
  3. Found North York but incomplete data for January so far. Assuming its a bit higher compared to YYZ, North York is probably around 18" whereas YYZ is 16" Hamilton is at 10.2" on the year. That one storm in mid January has created a big gap across the GTA
  4. Great rant. I think overall though most of us on this sub are just a couple hundred miles south of what you're wanting lol. My cottage in central Ontario and those in upper Michigan see the winter you're discussing and then some. I put a belt from about North Georgia-Central MI where you see winter but it doesnt typically last for months on end. South of this belt you get mostly into palm trees and warmth, north of it you get into months of snow and frozen lakes.
  5. I think what we just witnessed is a bit like a mini 2009-2010. Your very cold and snowy 10 days was nothing for Toronto. You got 14" and we got 8", you had really cold temps and windchills and we just had basic cold. It will be confusing looking at records in the future wondering what happened because Detroit, Chicago, Midwest got 10 days of brutal cold and snow. Ottawa, Buffalo got tons of snow as well. Toronto, Rochester and Syracuse somehow thread the needle and didnt see much.
  6. Ya, the cold for eastern lakes and east coast was normal winter cold snap. The coldest I got down to was 3F with a windchill of -15F. Cold but like I said nothing crazy.
  7. Mine here is probably going to hang on for another day 14 days in a row with snow cover isn’t bad considering how bad this winter has been lol
  8. snowfall averages are about the same its just the temp were a bit colder on. We are about 1.5C cooler in January for average high. Thats probably just enough in bad winters to get us that extra little bit
  9. I guess thats the difference between Detroit and Toronto. We are just enough further north east that our top 10 is significantly higher. You guys wont even crack top 20 this year but top 20 is near guaranteed here.
  10. Theres a big cluster of around 27-31" in the 6-10 least snowy winters for Toronto. Not trying to cherry pick data as its the easiest right now to grab but from 2013 to 2023 (11 seasons) Toronto had 6 Aprils record under 1" 2 Aprils record 1-2" 3 Aprils record 3-8" (2016 was 8") April always sees snow but it's mostly under 2". Still counts towards the yearly snowfall no doubt but the odds are heavily against anything more than a coating
  11. The southern/western part of the GTA could be looking at the least amount of snow in over 30 years. Hamilton has only recorded 8" so far this season and they would need 16" more to not have the least snowy winter in that time frame.
  12. Yep, for Toronto they will need about 14" between February-April to stay out of top 5. Completely doable to get 14" in that time period. Average probably wont even come close since we would need 28" in that time period and if that happens that would be something historic haha
  13. In my mind we are now 2/3rds done main winter. Add the fact next few weeks look bad it will need to be a pretty snow 2nd half of Feb and first bit of March
  14. Wow you've seen a lot. Toronto has only seen 8" in the last two weeks. But you're very optimistic when it comes to snow season haha. It can snow in April as we've discussed a bunch but you tend to act like its a full winter month lol
  15. @Snowstorms Toronto will probably pass the 2011-2012 winter with this event. Top 5 is still in the game especially with the way late January and early February is looking. Though this two week stretch was nice and has scratched the winter itch. If it torches the rest of the way I wouldnt be upset
  16. Yep, biggest storm of the year here at my place. 3" with 5" on the ground. Temp has risen to 33F though
  17. Looking like a solid 2-4" maybe 3-5" event for around here. Ill gladly take it
  18. Im already over the -16C or 4F nights. It will end up being about 13 days in a row with snow cover so I'll take that as a win as well. Bring on top 5 least snowiest and spring.
  19. Ya, biggest storm here so far is 2.3" haha. Tuesday might beat it barely but Ill pass on another parade of cutters followed by 1-2" events in February
  20. Ya, this period of cold and every other day light snow of 0.5" where I live has probably saved this from being an F winter. I have about 3" on the ground now, river frozen, and another 1-4" system plus freezing rain coming Tuesday. Averages are bottoming out right now at 30F for a high and quickly gain 6F to 36F in 5 weeks.
  21. light snow has started here. Hopefully we see 3-7" over the two events
  22. haha weird timing for sure but Vancouver did get 6-10" today and lots of social media was showing Vancouver palm trees covered in snow.
  23. Ya, YYZ has been questionable throughout its history. EC should have more official sites around GTA.
  24. I remember that low ball haha I guess since I’ve only lived in south Mississauga and now south of Hamilton the 40ish inches average always seemed right. Next few years I’m going even further south to the shores of Lake Erie. Weirdly my average will go up to my highest ever lol
