    Not looking as good for Toronto now. What a surprise. I'm thinking maybe 2" now.
  2. Ottawa Blizzard
    You couldn't ask for a better track for Toronto. Hoping for at least 6".
  3. Ottawa Blizzard
    I'll go with 6", but hope for about 8-10".
  4. Ottawa Blizzard
    Wow. Even Toronto. Wonders never cease.
  5. Ottawa Blizzard
    Sorry, I'm just scrolling through all of this. How is it looking for Toronto? I'm hoping for at least 2-4" and for temperatures to drop to zero behind the storm.

    One of the most incredible storms that I've ever lived through. 17" in Ottawa - I think Toronto got about 8-10" out of that.
  7. Ottawa Blizzard
    Not a big surprise to see the 18z GFS supress the storm south of Toronto. Frustrating, but not unexpected.

    No snow on the ground in Toronto at the moment.

    That looks a bit like what I've read about the January 1982 outbreak.

    What intrigues me is how this is looking to be a cold storm. Some models are predicting highs in the low single digits for Toronto while it is snowing. It kind of reminds me of what happened around January 20, 2005. I believe there was a cold storm around that time too. I love these set-ups as it means I can say to people, "see, it can snow when it'[s cold".

    Pretty amazing turnaround on the models. Remember how JB was despairing last week? Looks like he may be right this year after all. I do know that Toronto experienced its coldest October/November period since 1980 this past Fall. Essentially it was December and early January that were warm. I think we may have already had our January thaw.

    Wasn't Alek the guy from Chicago who hated cold weather? What happened to him?

    I remember that DT wasn't very good at spelling or grammar.

    If only that could track just a little further northwest so that Toronto could cash in as well....

    For me, it has to be a combination of above normal snow and bitter cold. 1993-94 was like that in Toronto, along with 2013-2014. 1970-71 in Ottawa and Montreal would also fit the bill.
  16. Ottawa Blizzard
    1993-94 remains the most incredible winter of my life (born in 1980), along with 2013-2014, and the cold stretch last New Years.

    I don't think I've ever heard him sounding so despondent.
  18. Ottawa Blizzard
    Monday is looking promising. Maybe 2-4"?
  19. Ottawa Blizzard
    Apparently JB of Weatherbell is on the brink of throwing in the towel for cold this winter. He sounded more despondent on his video than I have ever heard him over the past 18 years. I think he knows that his forecast has busted. To be fair, a lot of weather outlets are busting this year. The National Weather Service may score the coup as they called for a very warm winter while almost every other outlet was calling for cold.
  20. Ottawa Blizzard
    For me, it's the December 10-11, 1992 storm.
  21. Ottawa Blizzard
    December 1984 actually did have an almost identical temperature profile to this December in Toronto. I can't see it getting as cold as January 1985 though.
  22. Ottawa Blizzard
    Have to admit it's not looking very promising for southern Ontario outside of the snowbelts either. A real disappointment given so many of the forecasts for calling for a big winter, and it had looked hopeful with the cold Fall.
  23. Ottawa Blizzard
    It's not looking good for a white Christmas, that's for sure, although Toronto is apparently bang on average for the season thus far. I was in Quebec City this past weekend, and they have a foot of snow on the ground. Weatherbell's winter forecast isn't looking so good. They've been calling for a very cold eastern winter. To be fair, so have many other outlets.

    Imagine if this pattern snaps and we end up with a major May heat wave, like what happened in 1962? http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?hlyRange=1953-01-01|2013-06-13&dlyRange=1937-11-01|2013-06-13&mlyRange=1937-01-01|2013-06-01&StationID=5097&Prov=ON&urlExtension=_e.html&searchType=stnName&optLimit=yearRange&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2017&selRowPerPage=25&Line=61&searchMethod=contains&txtStationName=Toronto&timeframe=2&Day=1&Year=1962&Month=5

    JB was saying on his Saturday summary that the MJO for the first week of April is looking similar to how it did in early April 1982. I doubt it'll get that cold though.
