  1. Looking pretty rainy for the next few weeks. I was also looking at some spring outlooks and the consensus seems to be that we flip from winter to spring in early-mid march. Theres going to be a tiny window at the end of February for some winter weather.
  2. yikes, the pattern looks active but mostly rain. Those that were calling for below normal February temperatures definitely did not envision these many cutters.
  3. Getting a bit nervous that London-Niagara is about to see a legitimate ice storm with totals approaching 3/4" of ice. Temperatures are expected to be around 26-30F for all of tomorrow, Toronto is also supposed to get 1-2" of sleet.
  4. Record high today in Toronto. Pretty sweet weather, the next few weeks look like a game of roulette, but then were finally into march and quickly leaving winter behind.
  5. I agree that bitching about not enough snow when most of us are at or above normal is kind of ridiculous. However, aside from higher elevations the lake plains and the golden horseshoe have about 3 weeks left of winter. After that average temperatures start soaring into the 40s and we normally see our first 70F day. So March is kind of like October, in the sense that yes you can get winter weather but you can also get 70-80F.
  6. The long range looks like a lot of cutters aiming at Northern MI and Northern Ontario. Though where I lose out, you guys in the upper midwest might be buried under snow soon.
  7. Its 11C in Hamilton currently with a mix of sun and clouds. All the snow is pretty much melted aside from a few drifts and bigger piles. Looks like we will see freezing rain warnings for Wednesday.
  8. By August im getting tired of the consistent 80s-90s so I personally do start watching for the first real hints of fall. I especially enjoy late August when the first "cool" nights in the 40s start showing up or even more extreme temperatures such as summer 2017 when just north of Toronto got down to 32F and numerous frost advisories were issued. I'm nearly over winter by February and if it wont snow Id rather 50s and sun instead of 20s/30s and clouds.
  9. I enjoy cold, but Im ready for spring now. I think we've seen the worst of winter and now its a set up between thaw-snowstorm-thaw-snowstorm.
  10. Feels great outside. I wonder if 60F is reached somewhere in SE MI or S.Ontario tomorrow Cleveland is making run at 60F today. Currently 58F there.
  11. Completely agree, February is still deep winter. I just start looking down south and notice the slight differences along the gulf coast and some of those temperatures and instability start to spread north into Kentucky and Ohio.
  12. Yep, its gambling time and personally by February and March I enjoy this type of pattern more. December and January I enjoy snow packs, long duration cold outbreaks. But our climate doesn't support long lasting cold and snow cover by February and especially March so I hope we have a day in the 40s followed by big snowstorm, back to 40s. rinse and repeat If by April 1st we could jump to every day sunny and 80 I would love that haha
  13. Feels great outside. Snow is melting nice and fast. February is a month where most of the sub starts to notice the emergence of spring. Its not dark anymore at 5pm, birds start to come back and the sun feels great and grows stronger every day
  14. would you be able to share what it looks like for the eastern lakes at all? thanks
  15. The 12Z GFS kept with the idea of a pretty significant ice storm. Ive been thru 2 significant ice storms in the last 6 years, I don't mind them. Though I do enjoy more extreme aspects of weather so that might be why.
  16. Yep, this one has gotten my attention. Could be a pretty big ice storm for someone
  17. Starting to look interesting next Wednesday-Thursday. Still 5-6 days away but could be a pretty big ice storm for someone
  18. I dont think winters done but I think winters back is broken. I expect a few more storms, a few more cold spells but nothing like the last couple weeks. The GTA has about 4-5 weeks left of good winter storm chances. After that it starts to become elevation dependent and sloppy. 60s and 70s in the lower midwest early next week, with a few 80s are even possible in the deep south. I think even some of us in the great lakes get close to 60F with almost everyone in the 50s.
  19. Where do I sign up. haha whose going to be the first to start the spring/summer thread?
  20. After having this latest bout of cold, I'm ready for warmer temperatures. Rolling the dice on storms should also make it a fun interesting month.
  21. Depends on your definition of winter. March 2012 had insane departures and a much longer duration.
  22. Didnt think id be joining you guys on tracking this event. Not that I'm expecting much, just cool to have lake effect this far inland, and it be the same band thats about to deliver some good snows to you guys
  23. I live in northern Haldimand county and the squall has made it all the way here! I was wondering where the sun that we had this morning went. Southern Haldimand county (Dunnville) was expected to get a bit but im surprised it made it this far north.
  24. Yikes, I enjoy a good ice storm but Ive mentally prepared myself for a nice extended warm period. I'm not sold on an ice storm/mix. I still think we flirt with upper 40s and 50s for a while I enjoy tracking spring so by this time of winter my attention turns to that. Heres a good website that gives you an idea whereabouts spring is https://www.usanpn.org/news/spring
