Yes, I think they use an odd measuring system - a nipher? - that does not report accurately when there is blowing snow/snow being blown around by the wind.
-
YYZ is the worst reporting station for snow. No way the city got just 9". No way. The two cars in our driveway are almost buried. The snow is up to my waist even away from the drifts.
-
It's not the worst storm in history, lol. The biggest one day snow event was in January 1965. The city received 16" out of the December 10-11, 1992 storm. Granted, you'd have to at least be 40 to remember the 1992 storm.
-
Some local mets are calling it a 1 in 100 year storm for Toronto, or at least a once in a generation. All the right factors have to come together to give us a snow event like this. Buffalo and Rochester can rely on lake enhancement, while Ottawa is just a snow magnet.
-
As usual, Pearson airport in Toronto is doing a horrible job with reporting snow totals. They're reporting 9" only, so far!? There is way more snow than that in Toronto, even without the drifts. A foot of snow has easily fallen.
-
Thank you! Your storm is coming soon, I'm sure.

https://511on.ca/#:Alerts Here are some 401 traffic cameras.
-
The totals will be much higher with this storm, I think. The only other times I experienced snow like this was when I lived in Ottawa: December 16, 2007 and March 2008.
-
I checked the traffic cams and the highway was abandoned about 30 minutes ago.
-
Just an awesome storm.
-
It's the storm of the 21st century thus far Toronto. Unreal out there. Bliss it is to be alive at this time, to experience this.
-
Temperature up to 30 F here, under a SSE wind. Hoping the temperature doesn't get too warm...
-
Hoping everyone here gets crushed with snow. Hoping for at least 10" here in Toronto. With this storm, and then the arctic cold coming back for the next few weeks, this will be the best January since 2014. Still can't beat 1994 though!
-
Good luck to everyone! This has been a great thread!
-
That's just up to 3 AM Monday, though, right? Most models seem to be increasing amounts for Toronto, for the entirety of the storm.
-
0z Canadian still looks good for Toronto, Buffalo, Ottawa, Rochester.
-
What's it showing for Toronto? Still 6-8"?
-
lol. 3 " for Toronto - that would be about right. Toronto is traditionally bust city for snow.
-
Go to the falls. Maybe stay at a hotel near the state park - the Red Coach Inn or Comfort Inn.
-
Honestly, I think most of in this sub-forum would take this and cash out. Pretty much everyone from Toronto to Buffalo to Ottawa gets crushed.
-
I sure do. I wonder what he is up to these days, or if he even still posts? That was an awesome storm. 17" in Ottawa, I think 10" in Toronto.
-
Have to say the 18z Canadian looks great for Toronto and Buffalo. Has the snow starting by 11PM Sunday night in Buffalo, 1 AM Monday in Toronto and pretty much continuing until Monday afternoon.
-
I'm living in Toronto, so that isn't a wish cast! Hoping for 12"
-
Good luck to all. My predictions: Toronto: 6-8" Niagara Falls: 20" Buffalo: 15" Ottawa: 15-20"
-
What's it showing for Toronto? Still at least 6"?
