    Looks like a good run for most of us - Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester...

    I think the last time we got truly crushed, like 15"+ was January 2-3, 1999.

    Thank you. Yes, and this storm looks to impact Toronto, Buffalo, and Rochester much more than Detroit or Chicago. It's an unusual set up, that's for sure.

    About 115 cm...I think that's about 46 or 47". Much less than Buffalo, Rochester, or Montreal.

    About time...Toronto almost never hits the jackpot, and we hardly ever get lake effect snows. Still hoping Buffalo and Rochester are big winners too.
  6. Ottawa Blizzard
    Wow, if that were to verify, it would be Toronto's biggest storm of this century thus far.

    I recommend checking out the Upstate NY sub-forum - they are covering this storm in depth as it looks to impact western New York and Ontario more than the midwest.

    I'd take 7" here in Toronto. Hopefully it doesn't shift anymore southeast. Wow for Buffalo/Niagara though....

    I hope we at least get 4-6" (10-15 cm). I'm in Scarborough, bordering Markham, so I might have a better chance.

    Yes, the March 1993 was just that bot too far east for us. Ottawa saw 40 cm, and I think we saw about 5 cm?
  11. Ottawa Blizzard
    I definitely can! I was in Grade 7. One of the biggest snowstorms of my life. Initially they had been calling for 15cm (6") and we ended up getting close to 40 cm (17")! Some friends of ours were part of the cast of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat, and they got stranded downtown after the performance and had to be put up in a hotel.

    This kind of reminds of a storm that hit our region on January 16/17, 1994. Toronto received 8" from that storm. It was preceded by bitterly cold air, with highs below zero on the 15th in Toronto. January 1994 was among the most historic winter months of my lifetime. I'm hoping Toronto can see at least 4-6" out of this storm - we're riding a fine line!

    This kind of reminds of the January 16-17, 1994 storm. That storm gave about 8", or 20 cm, to Toronto. It was preceded by extremely cold weather on the 15th and 16th.

    lol. Love how Toronto is in the snow hole.
  15. Ottawa Blizzard
    I well remember the winter of 1994! Record cold across eastern North America. It was the coldest January in Toronto since 1920, and I believe Ottawa's coldest of the 20th century.

    Congrats to the Buffalo crew! Hoping Toronto can get in on some more snow at some point over the next couple of weeks!

    Interesting. Of those years, 2011 and 2018 saw hot summers, while 1976, 2009, and 2008 were cool, in Ontario.

    I think all of them since 2012, actually. Almost as if nature was trying to bring back equilibrium after the summerlike March of 2012. I personally hope we don't have anything like 2012 - it was terrible for the fruit trees after they bloomed, only for a frost to hit.
  19. Ottawa Blizzard
    I noticed it had the lake effect band almost reaching my area around 12-1PM
  20. Ottawa Blizzard
    I live right on the border between Toronto and York region - around McCowan and Steeles. I'm hoping I can at least squeeze 5 cm/2" out of this, but am not holding my breath.
  21. Ottawa Blizzard
    Funnily enough, after almost an hour spent shoveling, it doesn't feel like the storm was a bust. It looks and feels like deep winter out there.
  22. Ottawa Blizzard
    We did have a big dog in late January 2019. but, yes, it's rare. Those accumulation maps posted yesterday would have nailed it...if they were in centimetres. not inches!
  23. Ottawa Blizzard
    Very disappointing, especially when you consider all the hype.
  24. Ottawa Blizzard
    Hoping for 8" at least out of this one.
  25. Ottawa Blizzard
    Regardless, nice to finally have some excitement. The last big storm we had was late January 2019 - about 13 inches.
