TugHillMatt Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Snowing nicely here on the lakeshore...already starting to stick.

weatherbo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Wind has been very gust and reducing vis to less than 1/4 mile at times.. Snow has again increased in intensity and gotten steadier as well.Bands starting to organize over the lake. As soon as the temp begins to drop a little more, the roads should glaze over; just wet and slushy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 There is a special weather statement for seven counties in Southern Ontario due to the lake effect snow threat calling for 2-6", but they aren't anticipating any watches or warnings at the moment. Nothing in effect here, but I'm holding out hope for at least a centimetre or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks like a high of 29 °F not counting the highs just after midnight, despite sunshine peaking through for a good part of the day. Flurries most of the day too. Call me crazy but I like weather like this (at least before I get tired of it), was driving with the windows down today.

snowstormcanuck Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 In like a lamb... and out the same way. Really disappointing. After last year's debacle I wanted things to hit the ground running this year. Just hasn't materialized though. It's not a perfect correlation, but at YYZ there is a decent tendency for snowless or near snowless Novembers to lead to below average snowfall for the season.

Just hasn't materialized though. It's not a perfect correlation, but at YYZ there is a decent tendency for snowless or near snowless Novembers to lead to below average snowfall for the season. Its been hard to get a real adequate pattern to develop, favorable for our region for the past few years sadly. I still have faith, its only november. And not every year ushers in a horrible Winter because of a snow-less November. 2004-05, 2003-04, 2000-01, 1998-99, 93-94, 77-78 or 75-76 are good examples. For now, i guess we can hope the pattern can become more favorable after Dec 5-10th if the AO maintains its negative state and the Pacific remains steady with an amplified jet. But atleast their isnt any deep trough across Alaska/Aleutians this year like last year, thats a good change. Starting to see some changes developing across the Stratosphere esp with the GLAAM staying positive now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Cold day. I don't think we made it out of the 20s during the day. Should make the teens tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Wintery as one could ask for. Its been -SN all day in the northern burbs. Very minor accumulations on grassy surfaces and the occasional burst or white out. Winter has arived. Was in Troy not long ago when a solid white out happened. Thankful for LES.

Geos Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Made it to 30° during the day. The wind was brutal today though! Cheap high of 40° at midnight. Not getting bent out of shape yet due to no snowfall forecast. Things can easily change as we get closer to December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to see some changes developing across the Stratosphere esp with the GLAAM staying positive now, Oh yes, I'm not writing off the winter by any means. But it's not the start I had in mind and the trends over the next 10 days are not instilling a lot of confidence in me. A lot of those winters you referenced required us to pull some substantial rabbits out of our hats, which, again, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

I had to spend several hours repairing an excavator in the middle of a farm field. The wind chill felt like -15° rather than +15°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 8 out of the last 14 November here produced 0-0.5" of snow. So snow free/almost snow free Novembers really don't mean nothing around here. Proceeding the last good winter; 2010-2011, November had no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the 18z GFS certainly doesn't look very promising. Granted, it's just one run, but it seems to be gradually backing away from the cold medium and long range it was calling for up until a few days ago.

DAFF Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Just finished all the snow equipment prep a few minutes ago. Funny how it took all week to do so. Even got the Rv winterized too, just in time by the look of it. Now to sit back and watch the models and hope for a profitable winter season. Saw some snow dancing on the pavment on the way back from the shop. Temps are well on the way for the white stuff to stick and the puddle to freeze. So what is the projected time for the surface temps to fall below the freeze mark?? Or is there a local forecasting tool to help?? With the cold wind and the lack of moisture content in the soil I think surface temps will drop quickly this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
