Got all my x-mas light up now. The leaves are not going to cleaned up completely since they were still too wet today. Remainder will end up sitting in the garden, which hopefully decompose come spring.

 

Snowing at AUW, and STE right now.

Lucky you....was going to start and get it done on Saturday....but had to help out the guys working...so now it looks like it will either be a wet endeavor or a cold one...

 

transitioned to a chilly light rain now

LOT discussion on snow prospects for Friday.

 

 

MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE PRECIP WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO MIX WITH LIGHT
SNOW FRI...WI
TH THE FAR SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF THE CWFA LIKELY
KEEPING PRECIP IN A LIQUID FORM THRU EARLY AFTN. BY FRI NIGHT THE
MID-LVL TROUGH AXIS WILL BE ARRIVING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT
LAKES REGION WITH TEMPS ALOFT COOLING TO -14 TO -18 DEG C AT 850MB.

THE NEXT CHALLENGE IS WHEN PRECIP WILL COME TO AN END FRI
AFTN...WITH VERY DRY AIR POURING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.
GUIDANCE HAS BEEN RELATIVELY CONSISTENT WITH PRECIP ENDING ARND 00Z
FOR THE BULK OF THE CWFA...AND THE LAKE EFFECT MACHINE BEGINNING TO
START-UP. THE LCL 8KM WRF INDICATES A LAKE EFFECT BAND DEVELOPING
ARND 18Z FRI...WITH SOME INDICATIONS OF A VERY WEAK MESO-LOW ACROSS
FAR SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN.

 

Tacked on other 0.05" for the month tonight.

Sunday looks to be our coldest day of the season. Also may be YYZ's first below zero high (correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Dipped to around 28 this morning, heavy layer of frost was on everything.

 

Got down to 22F at YYZ today and around 20F in the suburb area where i reside. 

 

Saturday night thru Monday look to be the coldest days of the season thus far. Highs will be around -1 to -4C across the GTA for Sunday and Monday. It moderates a bit thereafter, but models keep the cooler anomalies in place for the remaining week. The developing storm in the Gulf needs to be analyzed to see if it phases and/or how it interacts next week in the region. I will get into more detail once we get closer and the models get a better hang of it. 

 

All of this should give away to a cold last week of November, exactly how I said it would end up back in October. My initial thoughts had a cool down after the 22nd which looks to be case. At this point, the best chances of snow would be next week and early December and again around Mid-late December for the sub forum. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the GTA picked up a few cms this weekend and early next week.

I should clarify for our American friends that it will be our first below zero Celsius high. ;-) It truly is rare for Toronto to see a below zero Fahrenheit day without the wind factored in.

 

I think many people in Toronto will be in for a rude shock on Sunday!

Anyone want to start a cold/LES there? Looks like some record lows and solid LES this weekend and week ahead.

 

Looks like good snow prospects on Monday as well - non LES snow. Go for it!

 

Feels balmy out there in the upper 40s.

Nice maps Gilbert. Soil is definitely chilled now after last weeks temperatures and lows consistently near freezing.

 

Arctic blast in time for Thanksgiving.

 

 

indeed....and my guess is that any little snowpack that develops over the next 3 days should linger quite a bit....will it stay and build into and through December?

.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

LATEST RUNS OF HRRR AND 4 KM WRF/NMM MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT THE

MOISTURE WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING FOR THE ARRIVAL OF

THE EXPECTED AREA OF PRECIPITATION. CURRENT AREA OF PRECIPITATION

OVER SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA MAY STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT HERE...AS THIS WILL

FIGHT DRY LOW LEVELS OVER THE AREA. FOR NOW...WILL PUSH BACK ARRIVAL

OF PRECIPITATION A BIT THIS EVENING...AS WELL AS THE CHANGEOVER TO

LIGHT SNOW LATER TONIGHT.

SYNOPTIC AND MESOSCALE MODELS ARE SLOWING THE SATURATION OF THE AIR

COLUMN UNTIL MID TO LATE EVENING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AREA

OF GOOD 850MB TO 700MB FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE WILL PUSH EAST

SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 06Z AND 15Z FRIDAY...DRIVING THE

MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION. BEST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION WILL BE OVER

THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA LATER TONIGHT...WITH AREAS TO THE

SOUTHEAST SEEING LESS.

AIR COLUMN WILL COOL FROM THE TOP DOWN AS COLD AIR ADVECTION KICKS

IN TONIGHT...SO WILL CONTINUE THE TRANSITION FROM RAIN OR RAIN/SNOW

MIX TO ALL LIGHT SNOW FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. EXPECTING AROUND

0.5 INCHES ON GRASSY AREAS FROM DARLINGTON TO MADISON TO SHEBOYGAN

AND NORTHWESTWARD...WITH LOWER AMOUNTS TO THE SOUTHEAST.

MILWAUKEE...RACINE AND KENOSHA MAY ONLY SEE A DUSTING AT BEST.

CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY MIX OUT LATER ON FRIDAY...WITH COLD AIR

ADVECTION CONTINUING. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE DAY GOES

ON...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE MUCH OUT OF THE LOWER

TO MID 30S.

 

What's Joe doing at the Milwaukee/Sullivan Office? lol

Dark, overcast day here with a few spits of drizzle.

 

Some farmer shot a 6ft, 100lb cougar today just north of here in Morrison.  Pretty wicked.

Whoah - another one! Must be migrating in from the mountain west.

 

Just drizzle and a bit of -RN here. Down to 42° now. EURO was saying this temperature by midnight...way ahead of schedule.

We go out to the family farm just west of Stockton darn near every weekend in the spring/summer/fall....sporadically in the winter ... it's on about 26 acres...half is fields of alfalfa harvested by a neighbor for feed....the other half is woods.  Having kids, I really don't like hearing these stories.  We spotted cat tracks last summer (2012) but hadn't seen any this year yet...We don't mind all the coyotes as they are keeping the varmints out of all the organic gardens we have out there....If the kids go out in the evening, they just bring one of our cattle dogs with them if any of the adults are busy....no biggie....but a hundred pound cat?!  yikes

Yeah it's definitely a bit freaky.  Those things are sneaky too.  They'd be on you before you know what happened.  My sister in law swore she saw one on her parents farm just outside of town here a few years ago, and we all made fun of her jokingly.  Guess she may have been right afterall lol.

 

Been getting sprinkles all eve, but still nothing measurable.  Precip should change to snow late tonight, but 99% of the precip will have moved out by then so expect nothing for accums.

yeah...can't really scan the moonlit horizon looking for a big cat as they are most likely up in a tree...freaky indeed (again, mostly because of the kids)...I guess it's time to get the kids whistles for around their neck if they are going out alone to play.

 

a couple of random flakes flying around this morning...a blustery, chilly mid - late December feel to the air today
