Chris Scott is great. That woman has absolutely no idea what is going on.

 

Much of the ladies on TWN aren't qualified meteorologists unlike Chris Scott who is. He always has informative information prior to a storm and I respect his forecasts. Too bad he isnt on  TV anymore.

Much better than CTV news coverage with "weather specialist" Tom Brown. Over running precip is already impacting indiana and ohio he says. Ok, Tom.

 

As far as I know, nobody on CTV is a qualified meteorologist, just "weather specialists". I could say the same for CP24 too, expect for Chris Potter.

Identical even...

LOT's new map kind of looks like the wxbell maps.

Still think this thing looks pretty funky on the models, but at least there is a little more cold air being modeled to work with now. Those earlier solutions just didn't make much sense given the time of year and air mass north of the border. I anticipate some more surprises, but have no idea if they will benefit those of us in the LOT zones. My gut tells me not to expect much snow out of this storm, but it's all a learning process.

edit: looks like I'm getting a WSW for slop & a few inches of snow. That's as good a guess as any, I suppose. Ballsy LOT map:v1l7a0c.png

Not difficult to imagine all of this shifting south, the combination of snow already on ground and far-south origins of eventual low pressure combined with chilly high already in place are all danger signs for a warm solution. The models already have the low pressure fairly far south but the thickness pattern oddly north, so what could change first is the orientation of thickness to low pressure. This would all argue for the freezing rain or ice pellets to be located largely south of where they are currently expected and snow to fall where freezing rain and ice pellets are expected (as well as where snow is now expected). I also have some doubts about 60s moving into IN and OH although that could still happen on a limited basis if the zones shift south. We shall see, eventually.

 

The above would imply mostly snow in Toronto with some mixing to ice pellets, a broad mix in Niagara and western NY and also mostly snow in Detroit with some mixing, freezing rain across northern Ohio and Indiana into central IL, all or mostly snow in Chicago.  Probably not what people are going to forecast at least until Saturday, but that's how I suspect it might work out.
