    Interesting that your average to date is so low. Torontos is already 10" by mid December. Losing December puts Toronto in a big hole since its essentially tied with January and February as the snowiest (10-12" each month) March and November average 4-6" and under 2" in April So with models showing nothing next two weeks, it puts Toronto in almost guaranteed below average snow year.

    Ya, just takes one storm to pretty much get rid of a chance. I enjoy all records though so I wouldnt mind breaking it if were going to have a bad winter

    Whats the lowest amount of snow Detroit has seen in a winter? Im wondering if Toronto can break the 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 seasons records of under 16-20" So far Toronto has seen about 4"

    I wonder what ever happened to stormchasercanuk. I think hes checked in a few times over the last few years but dont know if he did last year.

    I remember the eastern US weather forum and AccuWeather forums. I forget how I found this one
  6. mississaugasnow
    Yep, and could last a while

    2009-2010 was a decent winter for you?! Thats crazy because that winter is ranked as one of the worst in Torontos history haha. 52.5cm or about 20" of snow for the entire season (average season is around 40-45" across the GTA)

    Interesting, that's probably why Ive noticed the warming a bit more compared to you. Toronto-Buffalo-Ottawa are in no mans land between North East and Midwest. Though I was also going to respond to his post about snowfall falling off a cliff haha. Even 4F warmer which would be the high end like you mentioned still only brings me from 29F to 33F in the dead of winter. It will still snow and we will still have winter storms lol

    Yep, Toronto is a solid zone 6B and borderline 7A. I dont think the coldest nighttime lows have changed a lot but in Torontos case they are getting harder and harder to get since UHI is impacting it. So where Toronto used to see 0F on an good cold night its 5F Thats especially the case in summer now where overnight lows are much warmer than average.

    Toronto lakeside areas are also interesting since it's not just one thing that is causing a longer growing season. UHI is a big difference and probably adds at least a week or two alone to the growing season (Just guessing) add a slightly warmer climate which allows the lakes to warm a bit more and all of a sudden your growing season is 15-20 days longer compared to 1950

    yep, not supporting palm trees but some mid Atlantic shrubs could start to take in the lakeshore areas. The trees are delayed but the frost dates are actually better compared to inland areas. Lakeshore living just doesnt get the extreme temps that inland living gets. I moved from the lakeshore and its wild the difference. 50F in April along the lake but 70F away. A cold May night that damages crops is 32F inland but 38F and no damage at the lakeshore. Even bigger differences in fall for overnights
  12. mississaugasnow
    Probably not palms but those along the lakeshore and up the east coast should be able to see at least a few days of frost free weather added per decade. Toronto downtown is already 6B or 7A growing zone. Theres still decent amount of green leaves right along the lake in Hamilton-Toronto.
  13. mississaugasnow
    Should be no big deal for those. Plus it's barely cold. We only saw some light flurries here but got down to 27F. 50s and no real cold next 7 days.
  14. mississaugasnow
    where did you find this? Just tried a quick google and didnt see a map like this. Wouldn't mind seeing an entire overview of the US
  15. mississaugasnow
    Interesting. Environment Canada doesn't end the growing season for Windsor and Toronto-Niagara until October 30th
  16. mississaugasnow
    Personally I would trade all of JFM winter weather for a snowy November and December. Im not even saying big storms. Id rather 2-3" event in November over a 6-8" in March.
  17. mississaugasnow
    You can really see how the Great Lakes saves MI, ON, NY and areas right along its shoreline from frost. Only down to low 40s for most of us
  18. mississaugasnow
    Yep, started about 10 years ago. The most hardy palms can handle our weather (GTA) from mid March-mid November with minimal protection. I like pushing the boundaries with vegetation. Though you wont see me posting warm weather maps as I enjoy winter, especially front loaded winters haha

    Currently the Bananas and windmill are in pots but at my next place I'll be putting them in the ground. I started with 2 musa and now have 6. Going to cut down 4 of them and mulch and store, the other two will come in the house.
  20. mississaugasnow
    What do those go down to? I have a windmill palm and a few musa basjoo that Im going to leave out during this weather.
  21. mississaugasnow
    Wow, definitely ahead of us. The only real change here is the yellows. Just outside the city though the change is happening fast. Algonquin is at peak and most areas outside Toronto (especially north and east) are 30-40%
  22. mississaugasnow
    Thats interesting, what would you say % of change is? Here it's only 10% and pretty much right on schedule. Peak looks to be mid-late October like normal
  23. mississaugasnow
    Interesting you say that because Ive been driving around Muskoka-Algonquin area east of Georgian Bay and thought the leaves seemed a bit ahead of schedule.
  24. mississaugasnow
    Yep, looking at cams around fort Frances/ international falls and there’s ice. Leaf out for northern Ontario and central Ontario typically isn’t until mid May. Guessing the same for northern Minnesota
  25. mississaugasnow
    I enjoy working outside in that. This last 14 days plus has been garbage.
