Haldimand County reporting 7" and someone in Grimsby below the mountain 6" (that was an hour ago)

Reports around the GTA at 3pm. Etobicoke- 4" already Downtown TO-2.5" Vaughan-3" and for myself up here on Hamilton Mountain 2.5". The heaviest returns so far have been just north of me in Toronto and I had a 15 minute dry slot come thru earlier.

33F currently and rain/wet snow mix in Hamilton Ontario. The weather network is calling this a potentially historic snowstorm for the GTA. I think looking back that if this goes as the models predict this could be a nightmare scenario for the GTA. Talking to coworkers and friends/family and they have all said the same thing. Heard a bit of snow coming tomorrow, should probably put the winter tires on soon. They are assuming its a normal run of the mill 1-2" sloppy snow coming

winter storm watches up now for Buffalo-Niagara Falls

I would imagine everyone from Chicago-Detroit-Toronto-Buffalo goes to Winter Storm watches/warning and WWA for some with the afternoon updates

I wonder if we see winter storm watches issued tomorrow for northern Indiana-Michigan and Ohio. Environment Canada issued their first map with 2-4" across most of southern Ontario with 4-6" in Niagara and eastern Ontario. Im guessing special weather statements issued for us tomorrow. Environment Canada is normally very hesitant to put out watches, especially since it would cause "panic" in Toronto haha Also for a watch the event would need to be 6" + here which right now they arent calling for

I cant recall 2016, but last year and this year are acting very similar almost to the date. November 9th 2018 I recorded the first slushy 2cm, November 15th I recorded 11cm of snow. This year is a few days ahead with yesterday getting slushy snow and now tracking a bigger system.

Over here in the Greater Toronto area and Niagara we have a bit more wiggle room for the west but not a lot for the east. Should be a fun next few days. Definitely did not think we would be model watching like this in early-mid November

Im all for the cold this time of the year. I dont live right beside a lake anymore but on the Niagara Peninsula. The quicker Lake Erie and Lake Ontario cool down the better prospects for system snow. The warm lakes radiate heat miles inland hampering most early season events in the GTA and Downtown Buffalo. Also heading down to Nicaragua on the 22nd, so if we have to indian summer for a week id rather it happen when im down south haha

A lot of areas in central ontario/northern ontario wont see the ground again until april.

On the Canadian side by Dunnville in Haldimand County if you guys know the area. Worst lake conditions I've ever seen here. Minor damage is already occurring all along the lakefront. (trees down, fences ripped out by the waves, ect..) luckily no major damage.

Could be pretty bad. Lake levels on Erie are very high so lakeshore flooding might be severe.

I know thats a US map but the weather also doesn't stop at the border. Winnipeg Manitoba has a Metro of 850,000k. Just to the west (70 miles) Brandon Manitoba has a population of 60K. Fargo has 120K and Grand Forks 60K. Though a lot of you guys arent wrong with shrugging the shoulders about it haha. Here in Toronto it made the news but more of "wow, that sucks that Manitoba is going to get a blizzard. They get that in October though right...in other news"

Toronto unofficially broke the all time October record with a high of 31.8C or 89.2F beating the record of 31.6C or 88.9F.

Thats why im loving this AN weather here in the eastern great lakes. This time of the year weeks/days make big differences. Right now a very cold day would be 45F and rain like you said, in 3 weeks it could be 35F with rain/snow and first sloppy accumulations for the typically colder regions. Edit-For the great lakes last year we went from 70-80F and endless sunny days in September/Early October to 3-5" of lake effect snow on October 16th. After that winter settled in and we saw countless well below average days. Hoping for a repeat this year

Im enjoying this because September and early October cold is a waste. Same as late February to early April for warmth. Right now 10F below average would give me highs in the upper 50s in about a months time 10F below average would give me lower to mid 40s and a chance at early season snow. It happened last year, September was a scorcher and into Canadian Thanksgiving (2nd weekend in October normally) was warm. A quick flip and by late October we had lows in the 20s and occasional snow. Edit-Im also a seasonal construction worker so Id prefer the 70s and sun. We are trying to close up as many projects throughout the province of Ontario but every year a few dont make the cut.

Up here looks like lower 80s. Definitely hope theres a few more days of 80s but they will start to become rare fast around here. Trees seem to be changing a bit faster than usual, anyone else seeing this?

I was just working up in Timmins Ontario (450 miles due north pretty much of Toronto) and it dipped to 32F this morning resulting in the first real frost of the season. It quickly rebounded to the low 70s and thats why I love late August/September.

Good chance of snow mixing with rain from Algonquin Park (2.5 hours north of Toronto) north into the Val-d'Or regions of Quebec tonight. If that verifies that means a good chance that only July and August dont see snow in that region. By Late September its not unheard of to get flurries up there.

Thanks for the replies. Im driving down to the gulf coast soon and always look forward to the first significant signs of spring. Sounds like it will be noticeable by Tennessee. Still have some patchy snow cover and nights in the low 20s up here so it will be nice to see a different landscape. What you guys are describing is what I normally notice around mid April to early May

Nice photos. Hows the green up coming along down there? Noticed lots of 60s-70s over the 7-10 days, have the trees and vegetation started responding?

How quickly do you think you guys will green up in the next 10 days? Looks like solid upper 50s to low 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s region wide. Im driving down to New Orleans towards the end of the month and always enjoy that first stop where theres green grass and signs of spring.
