Looking like a solid 2-4" maybe 3-5" event for around here. Ill gladly take it

Im already over the -16C or 4F nights. It will end up being about 13 days in a row with snow cover so I'll take that as a win as well. Bring on top 5 least snowiest and spring.

Ya, biggest storm here so far is 2.3" haha. Tuesday might beat it barely but Ill pass on another parade of cutters followed by 1-2" events in February

Ya, this period of cold and every other day light snow of 0.5" where I live has probably saved this from being an F winter. I have about 3" on the ground now, river frozen, and another 1-4" system plus freezing rain coming Tuesday. Averages are bottoming out right now at 30F for a high and quickly gain 6F to 36F in 5 weeks.

light snow has started here. Hopefully we see 3-7" over the two events

haha weird timing for sure but Vancouver did get 6-10" today and lots of social media was showing Vancouver palm trees covered in snow.

Ya, YYZ has been questionable throughout its history. EC should have more official sites around GTA.

I remember that low ball haha I guess since I’ve only lived in south Mississauga and now south of Hamilton the 40ish inches average always seemed right. Next few years I’m going even further south to the shores of Lake Erie. Weirdly my average will go up to my highest ever lol

The actual downtown of Toronto sees a similar climate to Toronto Island. So even using YYZ skews it higher for those in DT-Mimico-Port Credit-Oakville-Burlington If YYZ reports a lot less compared to the Island then I might start to think somethings wrong. But the way airports measure and where they are located has always been a thorn in the side of the weather community lol. Look at Buffalo airport. Its NE and doesnt represent the City or southern part that well in lake effect. Nor does it represent the temperature in spring and fall

Interesting data. I think EC is right off the hwy about 5km east of the airport so that could be the cause of a bit of it. The size of GTA means it's going to be difficult to get a good representation of the city. Everyone south of QEW-Gardiner has a much different climate. They all got nearly nothing and had no snow on the ground until today. Next zone is QEW-401 and then 401-407 and 407 north.

I agree. The only plus side is it will finally feel like winter for 10 days. This might be the best stretch of winter for consistent snow cover.

Well aside from about QEW/Gardiner south most of us will have 10 days with snow on the ground

Did any snow make it thru the night? My parents on the lakeshore have nothing and mostly saw a mix with only a little bit of snow

Amazing photos did you guys have Virga to start?

Nothing but virga wasting the heavy returns

Did they expect anything down there?

has it started down there yet?

I'll be following the reports from NW Ohio and your area close to see what happens on this side of the border. Good luck, hopefully you guys get some sweet rates for a while

So someone 15 years from now will be confused a bit looking at the data haha

Ya 09-10 is looking similar to this style of winter so far Toronto just missed out on that east coast storm that have Rochester and Syracuse 6-12” and is missing this one that’s giving Chicago one

I think you guys generally do better in April storms for some reason. Our April snowstorms are rare but when they do happen disruptive since it’s 1-2” snow 0.5” sleet and 0.10” freezing rain

Nah those numbers are legitimate. We can also look at Toronto Island airport and Hamilton which tell the same story

Good catch. But still very very rare and not really worth discussing April snow like it’s going to give us a legit winter storm. Similar to early November snowstorms

Though the GTA is so wide so I’m basing it off Mississauga/downtown Toronto

Officially I think that was 4” though that might calendar day
