    Ya, I haven't seen any tree buds personally. The gardens on the other hand I have seen and I have seen insects out flying around. Not to often I see those end of December.
  2. mississaugasnow
    Are you guys starting to see some buds on trees? Noticed Ontario twitter has been sharing photos of really green grass, tiny buds and some very early spring gardens trying to come to life.

    Ya, December will end up colder than November here in Toronto. November is so far 3C warmer and that’s without the next few days coming up closer to average
  4. mississaugasnow
    Yep, should also help get some decent lake effect into February with the cold air.

    Going to be real tough for the Great Lakes to see average ice coverage as well.

    Ya, it's nice to see the change to more seasonal weather. Certainly opens up the door to at least the chance of some snow. The other hand is that it looks pretty boring and the chance of getting anywhere close to normal snowfall on the season is leaving the station fast. A few consistent weeks of actual winter in late January-February is what I'm banking on. Couple storms (3"+) and some consistent snow cover

    are your palms still unprotected? I put mine in the garage but might bring them out for Christmas Eve and Christmas haha

    Looking like a nice 1-3” event for GTA. With tomorrow also staying below freezing will allow for a nice Christmas feel.

    This is the normal in cm. I converted to inches for this discussion. You can see the bottom right says based on data from 1991-2020

    30 year average. Torontos Nov-3.5", Dec- 9.5", Jan- 11.4", Feb- 11" Mar-6.3" Apr-2" Interesting to see that Toronto seems to start a bit earlier and stabilizes, while you guys rocket up and then we both finish March and April near identical. My apologies about saying near 10" in mid December. Actually writing out the averages I guess it's actually about 8.5" at this time.
  11. mississaugasnow
    Interesting that your average to date is so low. Torontos is already 10" by mid December. Losing December puts Toronto in a big hole since its essentially tied with January and February as the snowiest (10-12" each month) March and November average 4-6" and under 2" in April So with models showing nothing next two weeks, it puts Toronto in almost guaranteed below average snow year.

    Ya, just takes one storm to pretty much get rid of a chance. I enjoy all records though so I wouldnt mind breaking it if were going to have a bad winter
  13. mississaugasnow
    Whats the lowest amount of snow Detroit has seen in a winter? Im wondering if Toronto can break the 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 seasons records of under 16-20" So far Toronto has seen about 4"
  14. mississaugasnow
    I wonder what ever happened to stormchasercanuk. I think hes checked in a few times over the last few years but dont know if he did last year.
  15. mississaugasnow
    I remember the eastern US weather forum and AccuWeather forums. I forget how I found this one
  16. mississaugasnow
    Yep, and could last a while
  17. mississaugasnow
    2009-2010 was a decent winter for you?! Thats crazy because that winter is ranked as one of the worst in Torontos history haha. 52.5cm or about 20" of snow for the entire season (average season is around 40-45" across the GTA)
  18. mississaugasnow
    Interesting, that's probably why Ive noticed the warming a bit more compared to you. Toronto-Buffalo-Ottawa are in no mans land between North East and Midwest. Though I was also going to respond to his post about snowfall falling off a cliff haha. Even 4F warmer which would be the high end like you mentioned still only brings me from 29F to 33F in the dead of winter. It will still snow and we will still have winter storms lol
  19. mississaugasnow
    Yep, Toronto is a solid zone 6B and borderline 7A. I dont think the coldest nighttime lows have changed a lot but in Torontos case they are getting harder and harder to get since UHI is impacting it. So where Toronto used to see 0F on an good cold night its 5F Thats especially the case in summer now where overnight lows are much warmer than average.
  20. mississaugasnow
    Toronto lakeside areas are also interesting since it's not just one thing that is causing a longer growing season. UHI is a big difference and probably adds at least a week or two alone to the growing season (Just guessing) add a slightly warmer climate which allows the lakes to warm a bit more and all of a sudden your growing season is 15-20 days longer compared to 1950
  21. mississaugasnow
    yep, not supporting palm trees but some mid Atlantic shrubs could start to take in the lakeshore areas. The trees are delayed but the frost dates are actually better compared to inland areas. Lakeshore living just doesnt get the extreme temps that inland living gets. I moved from the lakeshore and its wild the difference. 50F in April along the lake but 70F away. A cold May night that damages crops is 32F inland but 38F and no damage at the lakeshore. Even bigger differences in fall for overnights
  22. mississaugasnow
    Probably not palms but those along the lakeshore and up the east coast should be able to see at least a few days of frost free weather added per decade. Toronto downtown is already 6B or 7A growing zone. Theres still decent amount of green leaves right along the lake in Hamilton-Toronto.
  23. mississaugasnow
    Should be no big deal for those. Plus it's barely cold. We only saw some light flurries here but got down to 27F. 50s and no real cold next 7 days.
  24. mississaugasnow
    where did you find this? Just tried a quick google and didnt see a map like this. Wouldn't mind seeing an entire overview of the US
  25. mississaugasnow
    Interesting. Environment Canada doesn't end the growing season for Windsor and Toronto-Niagara until October 30th
