Being ahead of everyone for the first time in a while feels good. But seeing how DTW experienced an historic winter back in 2013-14, 14.8" snowier than YYZ's snowiest winter ever, while we got a measly 55" is nothing compared to this year lol. Most everyone has experienced record breaking winters in the last decade while we experienced historically snowless winters. Even Boston got ~100" back in 2014-15 lol.
Toronto (YYZ) has had several winters since 2000 with temperatures failing to reach or get below 0F. Namely 01-02, 05-06, 11-12, 16-17 and now this winter. As Alek would say, "AGW". ORD ain't got shit on us.
HRRR, RGEM and NAM all have ~2-3" for the GTA. It'll likely be closer to 2" near the lake.
It'll be a quick hitting clipper. Could see 0.5"-1"/hr rates across the GTA.
Well-deserved. It's been almost 20 years now. We missed it by a fraction back in 2015.
It really speaks volumes about how crap winters have been in our area compared to those around us.
Both CMC and ICON had a partial phase. Nice pool of cold air near Hudson Bay with a weak SE ridge. Set-up is definitely there for something big but we need more consistency.
