Here are some of the latest numbers for YYZ. Pretty good consensus for 4-7" of snow on the global models. Hopefully meso models can trend SE and bump up QPF a bit.

6z GFS cobb: 7.5"

6z NAM cobb: 4.5"

0z euro text: 5-6"

EC ENS: 5-6"

SREF mean: 4-5"

0z GEM: 5-6"

 

The slight NW trend seems to have moved the precip shield a little far west for my liking. Those big snow totals the EURO showed yesterday seemed to have quickly slipped away. Still looks like we get pretty close to the LP center so hopefully we can still generate winds good enough for blizzard conditions.

 

Personally just hoping for some wicked whiteouts on this system. We've got a pretty good snowpack down already and had some good snowfall this year so I'm fine with a bit less accumulation on this system if we can trade it in for zero visibility. Like some other posters, I have also never experienced blizzard conditions so this is really what I'm hoping for with this system.

Agreed. Don't want the slp to track right over us.

not too bad....looks like the 12z ggem might move a shave east from 00z if that foretells anything.  (need all the help, nudges, wiggles, jiggles, and bumps I can find)

 

Eh, I think at this point, the only thing we can say is that we likely won't be in the heavier totals, either rain or snow.  It's one of those situations where 50 miles northwest of the city is in a great position while we deal with mix issues and/or less precipitation overall.

GFS continues trends of more digging then a sharp blow up

 

best way to compare one run from previous is to open both in the same browser and then click back and forth on the tabs, it's an exact overlay and there's no mistaking the trends....you'll see what is actually happening vs. what you want to see.
