Compare every Major urban City surrounding Toronto including the East Coast since 2008-09 and you tell me what isnt their to complain about? And on that note, goodluck trying to find one good element. Kind of getting OT, sorry guys! Good thing they are averages over 30 years and not 5...

We're getting to the time of year where it won't accumulate until late afternoon/evening. Not sure what time of year you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year the storm track doesn't favor Toronto, it has favored here and Chicago, plain and simple. Yes. That is self evident. I'm not sure how this ties into your argument that we don't have reason to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If the sun angle wasn't a problem in Florida a couple days ago, it's not going to be a problem farther north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are still above normal and will end up above normal, if you are complaining about an above normal year than your standards are rarely going to be met. I think this argument has ran its course though, feel free to take up residency in the complaint thread if this pattern bothers you Toronto posters this much.

I really think it depends on the year. 2011-12 anyone with above average snowfall who complained was probably certifiably insane, but this is one of the coldest and snowiest winters in the Northern tier of recent vintage, so there will be some who finish around or slightly above average who feel jipped.

No it doesn't depend on year, numbers are numbers. Everyone should be happy they are above normal. Like I said unless you are Cyclone77 or Hawkeye you have no room to complain on this unless you are just being patently greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 On 1/31/2014 at 12:59 AM, michsnowfreak said: We agree. I really think it will go like this for DTW south. Snow (2-5") changing to cold rain (0.25-0.30") ending back as snow (additional 1-2"). We may very well see excellent rates, flake size and low visibility, but Im really doubting it will be all snow. i also have no doubts that the rain will merely soak right into the deep dense snowpack, but Im very interested to see if it will indeed freeze like we had reports of 38F freezing rain in IL a few weeks back. After those first two storms and the frigid cold after them earlier in the month when it first started raining my sidewalk was all ice for a while because the ground was frozen so solid that it froze on contact. Didn't notice anything on trees or anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of set up could bring ridiculous snowfall rates with monster size flakes even when it's supposed to be warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
