Snowstorms

Geez that's crazy, but it wouldn't surprise me. Even up this way we've only had 10 days below freezing since Dec 1 and a 3" rainer a couple days ago lol. Terrible.

Its time for spring.

Literally nothing on the models after this weekends storm. Maybe some light snow around Jan 23, but even that has some mixing lol.

I was shocked to see that this morning. Vegas is only 3pts away from being division lead. I don't understand this, but I'm starting to think it may have been intentional. Only reason I say that is because DeBoer was hired immediately.

Well right now it's somewhere in the Atlantic. Happened a few days ago. 75% of the sub-forum was a washout. Don't worry you didn't miss anything.

It's -57F in Mayo, Yukon. If anyone misses the cold that is. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/yt-10_metric_e.html

It's crazy how were sad to see a 1" snowpack melt away. The story of this winter.

Apparently the Euro weeklies look like Feb 2015. Feb 2015 was an incredibly boring month outside of the GHD storm. Just endless brutal cold.

If we got 0.5" every single day from Dec 1 to Feb 28, we'd hit avg.

Just move to Quebec City. They avg. 120" a year of pure synoptic snow. Just brush up on that French though lol.

Mar 2012 and Feb 2015 were both rare months. We've had warm winters in the past, especially the 1930s and some 1800s. However, as you mentioned, the warm-ups have become too frequent and long-lasting. If we break it down a bit, it becomes quite clear. 05-06: quite warm after Dec, 06-07: a no show until mid Jan, 07-08: overall was warm, 11-12: warm, 12-13: warm until late Jan, 15-16: warm, 16-17: warm after Dec, 18-19: warm until mid Jan, 19-20: warm since Dec..? Hard to say if it's related to CC, but the trend is undeniable. We've shattered snowfall and cold records in between, but warmth still prevails.

Similar trend up this way in Toronto since 2000. Hoping we turn it around this decade. February has been our strongest month in recent times, hoping that trend continues atleast lol.

Might be one of the worst winters for lake effect and synoptic snow.

Euro with another rainer followed by a pattern change that favours the East Coast. Can't get much worse than that. Practically mid Jan now. March is less than 2 months away.

The GFS is trying to build a split flow pattern ~Jan 20th. Terrible. This current pattern were in is probably the most ideal pattern for most of us to get snow, but due to a strong SE ridge, we keep getting rain.

Visibility was down to 0.5 miles around 3 am at YYZ with an intense squall moving through. Got less than an inch in my neck of the woods with an inch near YYZ.

The EURO has a three punch storm. The third is further south than the GFS and CMC. Edit: That strong HP near Hudson Bay plays a major role IMO on how far north the storm comes and where the gradient sets up with a cold NE wind.

Half of February 08 was spent in unfavourable phases (3-4-5-6) along with a +NAO/AO pattern. We can get lucky depending on where NPAC ridge sets up and how it impacts the gradient. A bit further east into the EPO domain could allow for a slightly suppressed SE ridge.

Massive sleet storm on the CMC... yeah no thanks.

Light snow has begun. Looks like 2.0" is a safe bet for tonight. Local amounts may approach 3.0" in Toronto.

LOL. Feb 1-3 GHD part 3. Book it.

I was bored so I began watching a radar loop lol. The winter of 2004-05 was a fairly interesting and active winter for most of us. Got around 65.0" locally. Back when phased storms were a thing lol.

12z Euro with two rain storms between now and next weekend. Zzzzz...

Man every winter on that, expect 2008 locally, was bad lol. Terrible pattern for all of us.

Got an inch this morning. It all melted now.
