Ottawa Blizzard Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Welcome to Hogtown! Sorry about the crappy winter in advance. Which school? Seneca college. I was born and raised in the big smoke, so I'm all geared up for the crap winters. I'll have to go and visit some friends in Ottawa in mid winter just to get a taste of what the season is all about. You never know though, maybe we'll get a 93-94 or 44-45 type winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your studies. I actually think 2011-12 is going to be a good winter by Toronto standards. It'll be crap in comparison to what you're used to up there in Ottawa though.

This would be the ideal December: http://www.climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=ON&StationID=5052&dlyRange=1895-11-01|1968-01-31&Year=1944&Month=12&Day=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winters like 2004-05 and 2009-10 stick out to me, but there are others. And thanks for the link. What do you think? Once in 50 year type storm? We're due!

snowstormcanuck Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Might end up seeing zilch from Lee as areas to my west and east get soaked. 2011 is going to go down as the year of missed opportunities here in Toronto, whether it be rain or snow.

cyclone77 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not a cloud in the sky today under deep blue skies. Perfect. Made it up to 72 with dews in the mid 40s. Hit the coldest temp of the season so far this morning at 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an uncanny otter Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well, look on the bright side. We get better winters than Windsor. As someone who lives an hour away from Windsor, I resent this. >:[Don't Toronto and Windsor receive nearly identical snowfall totals during the winter?

It's gonna be interesting watching that remnant tropical system back in from the east. Don't know if we'll see anything this far west, but you guys in Chicago probably will. What a bizarre pattern we're in lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, using the 1971-2000 data for each cities respective airport, Windsor averages almost 11cm more than Toronto (126 vs. 115). But that's a little deceiving because Pearson's snowfall data is woefully inaccurate. Toronto (EC HQ) and Toronto (Downtown) both average about 133cm, which is closer to reality.

Jonathan Thornton Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Incredibly cool out here today...highs not much higher than 70° across the region. Seems like fall might just be here to stay for SoMO looking at the models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Markham Buttonville is a much better indicator of the region's snow depth and snowfall stats. Toronto is colder than Windsor though.

Toronto is colder than Windsor though. You think? No official average climo data exists for Buttonville because it's a relatively new station, but based on some of the raw snowfall data it seems they average close to 150cm/60". That's a little high I think to be represenative of Toronto proper. For instance, in the 12 years I've done IMBY measurements here in Etobicoke, only 4 (33.3%) averaged 150cm/60" or more.

SpartyOn Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Need something to kick that low pressure east. Have a golf tourney this weekend. Your Shat out of luck on that...This puck of a low will retrograde into the Miss Valley and cut-off even more..Plenty of showers and plain rain until Sat night... Whats even more of shame is taking a peak at vis satellite..Nice weather to our North and West...Jesus by the time we clear out and briefly warm early next week it appears that a decent cold front will push south and tank our temps with plenty of Lake Stratus. Its been a while since we have seen such garbage weather..Like since May. Not used to it yet and its not like you can go outside and enjoy the cool Fall temps..Hoping for an awesome chilly and beautiful October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Nate looks like it could be something of interest, depending on the timing. 12z GFS seems to slow its progression northward enough that it misses being shunted east by our backdoor coldfront early next week. This scenario might allow it to move northward into the MS/TN/OV sometime after D7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a favorable time of year climatologically speaking...lots of remnant storms have passed through the area during the month of September.

In fact, on the new EURO, I don't think I even see a reflection on the sfc/h5 maps beyond 120 hours. Seems to dissipate Nate pretty quickly over the mountainous terrain of Mexico. In other news: Per the GFS and EURO, the 540 thickness line is going to be paying some of us a vist late next week for the first time this season.
