Snowstorms

We've now gone 51 days (since Jan 1) below 41F. The longest stretch since 1985. Although this cold hasn't been extreme, its been seasonably cold since January which is something we haven't seen in a long time so I am grateful for that. YYZ will likely finish DJF right on average. This stretch is almost as remarkable as the stretch from Jan 25 to March 2, 2015 where Toronto went 37 days below freezing in a row.

Another footage just came out. Saw this on reddit.

I doubt it. From what I saw, there was skid marks under the belly and near the engines suggesting it rolled over right when it landed? There's been blowing snow all day today.

I went to go see it. Might be because of the slippery runway combined with strong winds. We got like 30" in the past 7 days and there's been a lot of blowing snow today with winds around 40mph.

I went to go see it shortly after it happened. We got like 30" in the past 7 days and there's been a lot of blowing snow today with winds around 40mph. From what I saw when I was there, it looked like it flipped over shortly after touching down suggesting a slippery runaway combined with strong winds. Glad everyone on board got out safe.

I drove to YYZ to check it out. There is a lot of blowing snow today thanks to the strong winds and the runway did look snow covered. The entire plane was flipped over and the fire crews were dowsing the plane when I was there. Looks like it flipped over almost right after it landed as it was right near where it would've touched down. I couldn't get a picture cause the snowbanks were too high to walk through and the blowing snow made it difficult. YYZ just opened up one of the other runways. Glad to know everyone is safe!

It is actually. The closest we've come in recent memory is 2014 where I had about 20" on the ground. Planning to go for a drive tomorrow when the roads clear up so will post more tomorrow. Here is my front driveway after shovelling.

With the storm winding down, my two day total is 11.5". My snow depth minus a little bit of compaction is now 26". Still waiting for the YYZ official numbers but it was at 10" as of 4pm.

The GFS had this scenario a few days ago.

Not bad, won't complain. YYZ will likely finish with a 2 day total of 25cm (10"). Certainly not the 30-45cm (12-18") the models had for us the other day.

About 3" yesterday with the initial wave here. About 7" today so far with the main storm. A bit underperforming due to reasons aforementioned.

Light-moderate snow currently in Toronto. 2-3" seems like a good bet for today. Still a bit of model discrepancy regarding tomorrows storm, but 8-12" seems like a good early call. If the further west models are correct, we could be looking at 12-16" in Toronto. If it's slightly further east then 8-10" seems like a good bet for tomorrow.

Wish the Atlantic was closer so we could all experience those monster 20-30" storms the Mid Atl. or NE experience.

The criteria for blizzard warning is a little different in Canada than US, but we had our first blizzard warning in a long time back in Jan 2022. What a storm that was. We got 4" in an hour. Nothing quite like a blizzard, you're right.

Definitely in the wrong state then. Might need to join @Powerball for that.
