Didnt come true in the eastern lakes for number 1 lol. Most of us on this side are going to be top 10 least snowy winter. Could a surprise April snowstorm happen and push some of us out of top 10 100%. I believe heavily in stats so way below average by mid winter means starting to need a miracle to make a comeback. I guess in a sports analogy kind of way you might be the fan that never gives up until the end of the game haha. If my teams down 27-7 starting the 4th Im typically tossing the towel because chances of winning are down to 10% or less. Teams do come back and win 30-27 but it's pretty rare.

I was interested to see the distance between the two and it makes sense. Especially this season. Toronto regions western suburbs are 60 miles away from the eastern suburbs. Same distance as downtown Detroit to downtown Toledo

Toronto is at 26” which is right now the 7th least snow season. Assuming we get about 2” more it would keep it right about top 10 The east end and a bit further north GTA is probably around 30” but no official airport measurements Hamilton and west end GTA got wrecked this year. Top 5 worst snow season and sitting at 16” at Hamilton airport The last few years the snow-rain line has been about 25 miles further south so GTA has been getting good winters but Rochester and them screwed. This year the rain snow line moved a bit further north so the city is now separated as the eastern suburbs doubled the western suburbs

Ended up with about 2.5" here. Overall that puts it within the 2-6" that most were expecting across southern Ontario. I imagine someone in east end got 8"

@michsnowfreak. @SnowstormsTheres going to be some wild difference in snow totals across GTA Pearson will end up middle ground. Looks like 6-10” east end. 4-6” Airport and 1-3” for my place and west end. Hamilton and my place is now pretty much locked into seeing one of the worst winters snow wise ever. Still up in the air with Pearson

Looks like you guys are starting to be due as well. That’s 15 years since you’ve seen one.

Thanks! Do you have some dates by chance. I enjoy looking to see what could have happened. Most are just bad luck. Buffalo and Detroit get 6.5” Toronto 4.9” To the general public that’s not that big of a difference but to us it is haha

If it can get to 6” or more it hasn’t happened in 20+ years this late in the season currently looking at about 3-6” on most models 4” or more starts to become a once every 5 years or so after March 15th So this storm if it can deliver is pretty rare for GTA Certainly El Niño style end of winter

@Snowstormsthis has potential to be biggest storm after March 15th in a generation

A top 10 least snow is pretty bad lol. I think we see about 10cm or 4” Hamilton is still most likely a top 5 worst

Southern Ontario is wrapped up in the Great Lakes. The only landmass like it (Northern MI is pretty similar as well) Its water all the way from northern Lake Huron- River in Detroit/Windsor-Lake Erie-Niagara river-Lake Ontario-St.Lawerence. It's impressive when you think about it that way.

Looks to be about 2 weeks ahead of schedule here but with the upcoming colder pattern it will probably end up being just slightly ahead compared to normal once spring is finished.

For DC cherry blossoms. “Historical bloom data shows the average peak has moved up by about five days, from April 4 to March 31. Last year, peak bloom was March 23. It was recorded on March 21 in 2022. The earliest peak bloom on record occurred on March 15, 1990”

YYZ goes back to 1937 I believe It’s evident something has changed in this region. I think it’s a combination of bad luck, CC, other factors such as urban heat island as well

Weather networks spring forecast expects an active March but drying out April/May. Above normal temps. Toronto is at 19.1" on the season and should see 0.5-1" tonight. Hamilton is only around 13-14" on the season

You didnt get that last year during the christmas blizzard? Southern Ontario went from 40F and rain to -5F to 5F in 12 hours

I’m going to say someone hits 85F in Missouri

The next few weeks look pretty toasty. Currently 2nd least snowiest season at YYZ. Need 2" to get into 3rd

The older I get the less I actually care about snow lol. I'll gladly take a massive heat wave with 95-105 for days on end followed by severe storms. Toronto also doesnt really get big dogs so I don't grade my winters based on if we saw a 24" storm. Big storms that get hype here are generally 8-12" so thats considered a big dog to me. The 16-24" are historical storms so in a completely different league and not one I expect to see often.

Yep, I agree that the agricultural impacts awful. Spring is up to SE Virginia and nearing the KY/TN line. The next two weeks should see it make some big gains north

March Madness basketball and the first 60s (where I live) go hand in hand. Hearing the CBS jingle and seeing sun and 60F is amazing. Hopefully it's a much hotter summer here compared to last year.

haha thats because you'd enjoy an April snowstorm. I find March 2012 interesting from a weather standpoint. Overall though I enjoy warm springs and hot summers. Im not a big fan of 30s in early May with wet snow the same way most here dont like 50s in January and sun.

It would be interesting to see a late March snowstorm. A few aspects of this winter can be pretty much confirmed now. The lack of ice on the Great Lakes is guaranteed to be well below average and maybe even record breaking. A cold snap in mid-late march would need to be historic in duration and temperature departures for it to budge and even then im unsure. Snow is the next one but still too early to confirm that for GTA-Rochester-Syracuse-Boston.

It's interesting that your futility records are so low. Toronto, Rochester, Syracuse are still well within futility records.

Ya, it wont change my grade by much. This winter will be a F
