snowstormcanuck Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 multi-year futility runs do weird things to people. This too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 GFS and RGEM are below 1/2 inch. A lot of the synoptics are suspect and we're threading a needle with this trowal. Considering Environment Canada is calling for 2-4", I think I'm being quite generous with my call. Fair enough then. The good Doctor is going to verify here to a tee, so I'd give it some weight. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm surprised that Environment Canada hasn't issued any sort of watch for Toronto given the potential is at least there for 6". When you consider that toronto hasn't seen anything over 2" in a single snowfall for two years, youd think they'd want to at least alert people to the possibility. There's something to be said for Canadians being a lot more hesitant than our neighbours to the south! I didn't think they'd go with any flags, but I thought they'd at least bump us from yesterday's forecast a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I didn't think they'd go with any flags, but I thought they'd at least bump us from yesterday's forecast a bit. Well, the official accuweather forecast still has us in the 6-12" range, with Brett Anderson having Toronto in the 6-10" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm surprised that Environment Canada hasn't issued any sort of watch for Toronto given the potential is at least there for 6".

There's something to be said for Canadians being a lot more hesitant than our neighbours to the south! . Maybe they didn't want to take any risks? But if 6-8 inches comes to fruition, then I feel a lot of people will file complaints to EC for their lack of information to the public. I still hate them for their bias to use only one model. I agree atleast a watch should be issued. It's the first major snowfall of the winter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well, the official accuweather forecast still has us in the 6-12" range, with Brett Anderson having Toronto in the 6-10" range. GFS bumped us a bit at 12z. Just barely get on the good side of the 0.50" line. I'm going to stick with my 3-7" call, although 3" is looking less likely attm. Hey, maybe we're in for an over performer. Aside from the Jan 2011 surprise LES event, we probably haven't had one of those since the early 2000s.

wxman_ind Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Depending on where you measure, I've had either 5 or 7 inches. (7 is off the hood of my car). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you can get into those delicious lime greens, the pause will be worth it. Newest scan still has it. Certainly not very intense snow here at the moment. But that's what I get for taunting the west side, locally, with lesser amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceJA91 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you can get into those delicious lime greens, the pause will be worth it. Agreed. Been in those lines on the upper west side of the storm and they are fluffy flakes. Not wet at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the Jan 2011 surprise LES event, we probably haven't had one of those since the early 2000s. I hear you. As I said yesterday, biggest overperformer I can remember in these parts was December 10-11,1992. Would be an interesting morning rush hour tomorrow if this storm did overperform. I checked the accuweather forums and Brett Anderson apparently tweeted someone this morning that Newmarket could get 15cm (6"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the accuweather forums and Brett Anderson apparently tweeted someone this morning that Newmarket could get 15cm (6"). There were some in 2001 and 2002. Feb 8, 2001 we were supposed to get 2" and a switch to PL/ZR. We ended up with 11". March 4-5, 2001 we were supposed to get either 2" or 2-4" and ended up with 9". Christmas 2002 was supposed to be brown and we ended up with 3.5". They do happen, not recently though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
