    I heard that. Dougie declares a state of emergency. Bans all gatherings of 50 or more people but ironically all mall remain open. Several businesses, like Champs or Nike, close their stores for 2 weeks. All theatres are closed as well. Everyone that I know is working from home now.

    In Canada the PM announced today "All non-Canadian citizens, expect US citizens and other diplomats, will not be allowed to enter Canada along with anyone showing any form of symptoms". All schools and fitness centers are closed. Tourist destinations like the CN Tower are closed and mall hours have been reduced to just 8 hours a day. 177 total cases in Ontario now.

    Our Prime Ministers wife has tested positive for coronavirus. All schools across the province have been cancelled until early April and I suspect universities and colleges may follow suit. Grocery store line-ups are absolutely ridiculous. I myself stocked up on some things lol. My company issued a statement today saying everyone will be working from home for the next 30 days. What a time.

    Euro is snowless through Mar. 20. Safe to say winter is over. Sucks that it practically ended as soon as the month began but after yesterday's 62F, I am looking forward to Spring now. ~53" this winter at YYZ, which is 8" above avg, so no complaints there.
  5. Snowstorms
    This wasn't the winter for snow cover.

    Feb 2013 came close but winds only maxed out at 35km/hr. 8 straight hours of +SN at YYZ. Can't get much better than that. Easily the best storm of the decade imo.
  7. Snowstorms
    21" this month at YYZ making it the 9th snowiest Feb on record. Temps will finish above avg.

    Strong lake effect snow band about to move into Toronto. Up to 2” possible and near zero visibility.
  9. Snowstorms
    Not feeling optimistic about it now. Conditions aren’t favourable enough for sustained lake effect across the area. Perhaps an inch in some localized areas but that’s about it. Wind direction is more westerly than NW which also plays a role.

    We need a strong Gulf Low with the PV parked near Hudson Bay to get blizzard like conditions. A storm like Dec 92, but a bit colder, would likely meet that criteria. Isn’t there like a snowfall criteria too?
  11. Snowstorms
    Around 6” at YYZ with reports of 5-8” across the GTA. Potential for some lake effect snow later today and tomorrow across the GTA. Localized amounts of 2-6” possible.
  12. Snowstorms
    Not surprised. The storm ended up further east and weaker and therefore, we only got skimmed by some of the heavier returns last night. Woke up to ~6" and barely any snow piles post shovelling. This isn't the first time the models had us in the sweet spot, only for it to "bust" in the end. Disappointed to say the least.
  13. Snowstorms
    That band approaching Oshawa is total rippage. Woulda been nice if it was 50 miles further west.
  14. Snowstorms
    Story of this winter. Just be glad we're going to finish this season above average despite a top 5 warm winter.
  15. Snowstorms
    Snow weenies in Toronto frolicking.
  16. Snowstorms
    Radars look unimpressive. Looks like a dry slot towards Oakville and Hamilton. Latest HRRR has a sharp cut-off across the GTA. Hoping we see some good returns as the storm begins to deepen and retrograde. Column has cooled so ratios should be close to 10:1. Some people are calling it a “bust” on Twitter lol.
  17. Snowstorms
    That’s true. Core of the storm is still south of us but we should start seeing more heavier bands after 9pm. Could tally up another 4-6” if they stay consistent.
  18. Snowstorms
    We can’t have nice things haha. RGEM nailed it. It was further east than the other models. Let’s see if we can squeeze a few inches tom with that LES band.
  19. Snowstorms
    Latest HRRR now has only 6” compared to the 13” it was showing earlier lol. The Low is bit further East this run. Haven’t checked surface OBS to confirm this change. Sometimes you can’t have nice things lol.
  20. Snowstorms
    Wow that’s impressive! Upper air dynamics and warm Lake temps are ideal for a decent lake effect outbreak. Wouldn’t discount widespread flurries through out the day tom. The real fun begins in a couple hours.
  21. Snowstorms
    What’s your take on toms lake effect snow? NAM shows a stout band impacting the city for a few hours near rush hour tom.
  22. Snowstorms
    Quite the downgrade from 18z. Seems like a nowcast event.
  23. Snowstorms
    Fair point. Let's see if NAM 3km and RGEM are in the same ballpark as HRRR.
  24. Snowstorms
    HRRR has been solid this year. Back to back winters with a footer? I say we do it. If we see 12", it'll be the snowiest winter since 08-09 at YYZ haha.
  25. Snowstorms
    I like how you didn't use YYZ. It was a 5" storm at YYZ lol. Seems like a WNY special. I don't think there's any radar reanalysis maps that go back that far.
