Surprised EC has kept Winter storm warnings for Hamilton though. I guess either we see 20-30cm in the next 24 hours and I eat crow or we see the 5-15cm most Mets are now suggesting
Ya, that’s what I was wondering where. Pearson is interesting but I believe it’s been snowing north of Hwy 7 most of the day? I know Kitchener switched at noon but brantford stayed rain all afternoon
Interesting Pearson still reporting 35F and rain. But Toronto has large geographical area so changeover would probably start north of 407 and then make its way to lake. Island is still 36-37F and rain
I don’t believe it’s changed for the last few hours. Hopefully the front speeds up for you guys but the weather network doesn’t have snow in Hamilton until 9-10pm
Ya Toronto and Detroit are similar. Toronto got lucky two weeks but there’s a reason why 12-20” paralyzed the city and the clean up wasn’t even finished two weeks later haha
I think for SE MI and Ontario crowd is that we both got threaded by wave 1 and 2. 1 was north and 2 south. That’s why immediate border cities like Buffalo-Niagara need a bit more amped system. I think Rochester sits pretty good
Lol not to be that Debbie but I’d be careful with those numbers. Detroits storm evaporated. Transition events in GL region is tough and normally slower. A lot riding on that 2nd wave. Detroit snowed all day and saw 2”
Haha this is some kind of revenge from CNY on S.Ontario.
Heavy rain now expected to last until midnight with 1-3cm or under 1” during the night and 2-5cm tomorrow. So storm will now go from 8-16” modelled a few days ago to 2-3”
Lucky, its pouring rain here with upper 30s and dew points mid 30s.
Haven't seen a bust like this in some time. Good news is that this wasn't a typical snowstorm so the excitement never got up as high as it usually does.
ya, its definitely slower than what we originally anticipated. How many hours you think left for Hamilton? My guess is around 5-7pm but originally I thought 2-4pm and I have to keep pushing it back
So judging from upstream Detroit and now Hamilton-Toronto it appears that the models were wrong with the cold air bleeding in. I think Buffalo-Niagara will struggle to reach 6" now as well. Most of that should come with the 2nd wave
wow just saw Buffalo is 44F. I was skeptical when NWS said no snow until Thursday yet EC said change over by late afternoon/early evening.
Heavy rain here as well*
I can see it but lowering the totals also makes sense. I think 12" will be the max for NW Ohio and SE MI. Too much qpf was lost to rain/wet snow. Buffalo mentioned ratios could be as low as 4-6:1 for a period of time.
Snow depth down to 4" with a temperature of 37F and light rain.
This will most likely become a big glacier since its absorbing the water and not melting as fast as I thought.

Environment Canada has cancelled the weather advisories for Toronto. Its rare for them to do it before the event has really started but shows how little impact they expect this storm to have.
Original winter weather advisory was for 4-8" but now the forecast mentions more rain and max 2-4" for the event.
