Winter 2023-24 Longrange Discussion
mississaugasnow replied to michsnowfreak's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Personally I would trade all of JFM winter weather for a snowy November and December. Im not even saying big storms. Id rather 2-3" event in November over a 6-8" in March. -
You can really see how the Great Lakes saves MI, ON, NY and areas right along its shoreline from frost. Only down to low 40s for most of us
-
Yep, started about 10 years ago. The most hardy palms can handle our weather (GTA) from mid March-mid November with minimal protection. I like pushing the boundaries with vegetation. Though you wont see me posting warm weather maps as I enjoy winter, especially front loaded winters haha
-
Currently the Bananas and windmill are in pots but at my next place I'll be putting them in the ground. I started with 2 musa and now have 6. Going to cut down 4 of them and mulch and store, the other two will come in the house.
-
What do those go down to? I have a windmill palm and a few musa basjoo that Im going to leave out during this weather.
-
Wow, definitely ahead of us. The only real change here is the yellows. Just outside the city though the change is happening fast. Algonquin is at peak and most areas outside Toronto (especially north and east) are 30-40%
-
Thats interesting, what would you say % of change is? Here it's only 10% and pretty much right on schedule. Peak looks to be mid-late October like normal
-
Interesting you say that because Ive been driving around Muskoka-Algonquin area east of Georgian Bay and thought the leaves seemed a bit ahead of schedule.
-
Yep, looking at cams around fort Frances/ international falls and there’s ice. Leaf out for northern Ontario and central Ontario typically isn’t until mid May. Guessing the same for northern Minnesota
-
I enjoy working outside in that. This last 14 days plus has been garbage.

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
mississaugasnow replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I’m real confused recently on everyone saying much nicer weather coming. I guess that’s because a week plus of 40s and rain has lowered our expectations? -
If I dig a bit more I could probably find it. Either way I think it’s a safe bet the eastern Great Lakes are in for a colder and wetter May.
-
However, the shift in the pattern will not have very much staying power. During the final two weeks of May we expect to see a transition to a pattern that will resemble the first week of May with below-seasonal temperatures returning to Ontario and Quebec and above-seasonal temperatures across most of Western Canada, especially Alberta. pretty much not anticipating an abrupt shift to summer this year
-
Weather network (Canadian weather channel) going with below average temperatures for May. They anticipate a small break mid may and then this cold wet pattern comes back for 2nd half of May and into early June

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
mississaugasnow replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Ya another freight train of cold, damp weather punt may and wake me up in June haha -
Haha I’ll play his part. I won’t say the entire summer but the fact we came out of one of the cloudiest winters ever and it continues is a sign of concern. May is pretty much a write off. I’ll take below average and sunny but it’s below average and cloudy plus rain for the foreseeable future
-
Ya, not looking promising for the next 2-4 weeks. Which means we will go from 40s and 50s to 80s and 90s like we've become accustomed to

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
mississaugasnow replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
wow you guys already average in the low 50s now? We dont get that in Toronto until early April -
34F and Snow currently reported. Judging from the Milwaukee webcams it's accumulating. Hope your enjoying it lol
-
Interesting that EC and NWS have vastly different forecasts for Windsor-Detroit area. Windsor is heavy rain tomorrow with half an inch of rain or more changing to snow but only 2". No warning, just a special weather statement. The other side of the river is winter storm warning for 6-10"
-
Ya, Toronto is already around 26" so even just a bit more will make it look like just a slightly bad winter in the record books. Im thinking Toronto has one more legit winter storm of 4-8" and a few more slop 1-3, 2-4" type events. I think Toronto ends up right around 36" on the season. About 4-6" below normal.

February 8-9 Should There Be a Thread For This Storm
mississaugasnow replied to Hoosier's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
ya, I've been looking at a lot of historical weather for Toronto and March and April the last decade have been very similar. 1-5" falls. They've become near identical in snowfall. But Toronto hasn't seen a snowstorm over 4" in the last decade after March 1st. March and April at least for Toronto has been pretty bad -
Winter 2022/23 Short/Medium Range Discussion
mississaugasnow replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Yep, snow cover for me. Thats why Im down to about 4ish weeks left of cheering for winter. After that unless it's an absolute monster 12" storm I want 40s-50s and spring haha. I know climo says enjoy 2-4" of wet snow followed by 38F and cloudy in mid March-early April but those just really annoy me haha. -
when do you put your palms back out? My banana and windmill palm are inside but I was able to keep them out until mid November.
-
Thats interesting. I wonder why from pretty much Southern Ontario eastward has warmed, skips Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and resumes again in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
