    This has been a bad winter "feeling" wise but I bet when everything is calculated at the end of April it ends up being a slightly warmer winter with average to slightly above average snowfall. People looking at records 50+ years from now will just see an average winter for 2019-2020 Toronto is looking at 3-6" and after the 2.5" on Sunday that will mean already 5-8" of snow has fallen by February 7th

    YYZ is actually above normal for snow this winter still. Happens every winter but once I start seeing February and March roll around on the calendar I start getting excited about those first 50s and sun type days. My favorite part of winter isnt even really in winter. Its October-December when the first frosts and snowstorms herald a full change of seasons. I just finished re-reading about the 2012 Morch and subsequent Summer heatwave and im ready for spring and summer. Bring on the 90s and 100s haha

    I return from Asia/Europe end of January so hopefully my return brings some serious winter weather. I do feel like recent years has seen winter cruise later into spring than I remember. Last year I was at a wedding in early April just outside Toronto and it was the worst driving conditions of the winter. It sucks because it doesnt fit what "I want" haha. By mid March im looking forward to the first 60s/70s and sun. 31F and a sloppy 4-6" snowstorm kind of sucks by late March

    I arrived back from Nicaragua yesterday in the height of the snow/ice pellets. The board had a lot of cancellations and delays, I was thankful we arrived pretty much on time. Im just catching up on everything and looking at models to see how the next few weeks leading up to christmas will be. Heading to NYC to visit a few friends next weekend so I wouldnt mind if there was no snowstorms on those dates haha. I hope everything is well with you as well.

    What I find impressive is how it all wraps together to make this is a very anomalous event. Toronto is most likely going to go 8 days, maybe 9 days with over 1cm on the ground reported at the airport in a row. Which is crazy for November.

    whats your thoughts on whats left for mississauga-Hamilton-Niagara?
  7. mississaugasnow
    Haldimand County reporting 7" and someone in Grimsby below the mountain 6" (that was an hour ago)
  8. mississaugasnow
    Reports around the GTA at 3pm. Etobicoke- 4" already Downtown TO-2.5" Vaughan-3" and for myself up here on Hamilton Mountain 2.5". The heaviest returns so far have been just north of me in Toronto and I had a 15 minute dry slot come thru earlier.

    33F currently and rain/wet snow mix in Hamilton Ontario. The weather network is calling this a potentially historic snowstorm for the GTA. I think looking back that if this goes as the models predict this could be a nightmare scenario for the GTA. Talking to coworkers and friends/family and they have all said the same thing. Heard a bit of snow coming tomorrow, should probably put the winter tires on soon. They are assuming its a normal run of the mill 1-2" sloppy snow coming

    winter storm watches up now for Buffalo-Niagara Falls
  11. mississaugasnow
    I would imagine everyone from Chicago-Detroit-Toronto-Buffalo goes to Winter Storm watches/warning and WWA for some with the afternoon updates
  12. mississaugasnow
    I wonder if we see winter storm watches issued tomorrow for northern Indiana-Michigan and Ohio. Environment Canada issued their first map with 2-4" across most of southern Ontario with 4-6" in Niagara and eastern Ontario. Im guessing special weather statements issued for us tomorrow. Environment Canada is normally very hesitant to put out watches, especially since it would cause "panic" in Toronto haha Also for a watch the event would need to be 6" + here which right now they arent calling for

    I cant recall 2016, but last year and this year are acting very similar almost to the date. November 9th 2018 I recorded the first slushy 2cm, November 15th I recorded 11cm of snow. This year is a few days ahead with yesterday getting slushy snow and now tracking a bigger system.
  14. mississaugasnow
    Over here in the Greater Toronto area and Niagara we have a bit more wiggle room for the west but not a lot for the east. Should be a fun next few days. Definitely did not think we would be model watching like this in early-mid November

    Im all for the cold this time of the year. I dont live right beside a lake anymore but on the Niagara Peninsula. The quicker Lake Erie and Lake Ontario cool down the better prospects for system snow. The warm lakes radiate heat miles inland hampering most early season events in the GTA and Downtown Buffalo. Also heading down to Nicaragua on the 22nd, so if we have to indian summer for a week id rather it happen when im down south haha

    A lot of areas in central ontario/northern ontario wont see the ground again until april.
  17. mississaugasnow
    On the Canadian side by Dunnville in Haldimand County if you guys know the area. Worst lake conditions I've ever seen here. Minor damage is already occurring all along the lakefront. (trees down, fences ripped out by the waves, ect..) luckily no major damage.
  18. mississaugasnow
    Could be pretty bad. Lake levels on Erie are very high so lakeshore flooding might be severe.

    I know thats a US map but the weather also doesn't stop at the border. Winnipeg Manitoba has a Metro of 850,000k. Just to the west (70 miles) Brandon Manitoba has a population of 60K. Fargo has 120K and Grand Forks 60K. Though a lot of you guys arent wrong with shrugging the shoulders about it haha. Here in Toronto it made the news but more of "wow, that sucks that Manitoba is going to get a blizzard. They get that in October though right...in other news"
  20. mississaugasnow
    Toronto unofficially broke the all time October record with a high of 31.8C or 89.2F beating the record of 31.6C or 88.9F.

    Thanks for the replies. Im driving down to the gulf coast soon and always look forward to the first significant signs of spring. Sounds like it will be noticeable by Tennessee. Still have some patchy snow cover and nights in the low 20s up here so it will be nice to see a different landscape. What you guys are describing is what I normally notice around mid April to early May
  22. mississaugasnow
    Nice photos. Hows the green up coming along down there? Noticed lots of 60s-70s over the 7-10 days, have the trees and vegetation started responding?
  23. mississaugasnow
    How quickly do you think you guys will green up in the next 10 days? Looks like solid upper 50s to low 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s region wide. Im driving down to New Orleans towards the end of the month and always enjoy that first stop where theres green grass and signs of spring.
