Not surprised at YYZ's numbers anymore. I'm surprised with all the meteorologists in Ontario, they don't complain about YYZ's reporting and don't do anything about it.
Regardless, Toronto will remember it as a top 5 or top 10 historic storm.
Same for me. Many places around my area recorded between 17-21". Amazing storm, glad it pull through.
It's too bad YYZ only recorded 13.5". What a joke.
I went for a small drive. Roads are a mess but even eye balling you can tell its well over >14". Some localized areas in Toronto got 20-24".
The downtown station recorded nearly 5" in one hour.
Yeah YYZ is a joke. As of 12pm they had 12" (32cm).
I measured 17", could be more because it certainly feels like it. Most places in Toronto saw between 15-20".
As of 12pm YYZ reported 12.6" (32cm). Might add on another inch or two once it's all said and done so no, it'll fall short of that record cause YYZ is lol.
But most places in Toronto saw between 15-20", some locally higher. I measured 17".
Oh okay thank you for clarifying. Is there a reason why manual measurements stopped? Budget constraints? Would've been cool if they continued especially for a storm like today.
I think even London is scoring with this storm, no?
Yeah my friend had to go into the office today to pick up some paper work. Normally takes him 15-20 minutes via 427 but he's still not there and it's been an hour.
Puking snow right now in Toronto. Rates of 3-4"/hr. YYZ has reported visibility near zero for the past 3 hours.
I measured 11" about 15 minutes ago. Many areas will end up close to 16-20" once all is said and done.
Which explains why EC issued a blizzard warning. A near perfect set up and purely synoptic. Another 6-8" is definitely possible.
Did the Toronto station (the one that went back to the 1800s) stopped reporting?
2" reported at YYZ in the last 2 hours and were not even at the heaviest rates yet. Rates could reach 2-3"/hr by 3 AM.
Models showing up to 18" possible by tomorrow afternoon.
