snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Multiple reports of 8-9" on the east side of Toronto. Not quite as much here, probably a hair under 6", but still a lovely wintry day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Wow! Pretty safe to say Superior will freeze up tight this year. Seems to be freezing up a lot the past several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Snow winding down. Looks like a storm total around 7-7.5", we'll see when the official number comes out. Quick hitting but intense little storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're back to run of the mill -SN here in the west end but that band is stalled out on the Scarborough/Pickering line. Candidate for our jackpot zone. I'd say I was in one of the sweet spots. About 8" of fluffy snow at my place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make an argument for 2013-14, which was no doubt a good winter, but also very frustrating when you're on the sidelines of a *historic* winter taking place just to your SW. And actually, if we can scrape together 3", we'll have more snow this winter than we did in 2013-14 anyways. If you like cold and consistent snow-cover though, 13-14 wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. 2013-14 is a Winter that will probably never be matched locally for its severeness. The worst Winter of this decade was 2011-12, lol but this is definitely on the lower end for me rather than the upper end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, in Detroit, 2013-14 is a once in a lifetime occurrence. 90 some odd inches right? Talk about everything that could go right, going right. Book is still being written on 2018-19 with March and April still ahead. Who knows, you might still pull out an above normal snowfall winter.

'11-12 was my favorite and the only winter were if I was gone elsewhere I'd be bummed. Now I have colder or average temperatures and the same nothingness that 11-12 had permanently. This February wasn't too bad because there were more sunny days than last year IIRC. In fact sunny days aren't that common in my spot in Feb. I don't like this winter but one major positive I can point to is that there wasn't any super long stretch of dark cloudiness/overcast that challenged my sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Welcome met spring! What a great month of weather to end met winter. A little over 100" fell here in February... still moving it around and pushing it away from things and taking the load off the roof. Six more weeks of solid snow-storm climo, and with an icy Superior, probably another cold spring, super short summer with a light frost occurring in late August and then snow by October. Monthly stats for MQT snow- 89.9" (6.88 liquid) Avg temp- 10.4 (departure -5,1) lowest- -25 highest- 32 greatest depth- 53" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow was blowing and drifting everyday with the relentless arctic winds. I had a whole records page of it. There were 34 MORE days with double digit snow depth that winter than the previous record-holder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Detroit got scraps of snow this Feb while other years had record Feb snow, but I guess Ma Nature is giving us a break. Our great run of Febs...is it over, or a 1 year hiatus? These are the top 12 snowiest Febs, records to 1880. In 2007, you would see 1986 in 5th place.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Eau Claire nearly doubled their previous February snowfall record. That's very impressive. Down here, I've had back to back 20+" months, which is also very impressive. Before this year, my last 20" month was February 2008. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
