Tapering off here too, just light snow. Looks like some heavier returns approaching Pearson, though, and more back towards London and Stratford.

 

Yeah, we should see a bit of an increase to high end -SN/maybe even SN over the next half and hour. But another 10cm seems very generous. Looks like about 5cm of top up will do it. Just enough to get you to 30cm. :)

Still hanging on to SN here with some solid returns overhead, may be my turn to play catch up.

 

Great example of the media just reading the SWS and ignoring current obs. Just heard on 680 news "Snowfall across the city will come in around 15-20cm, with some areas receiving much less." :axe:

 

I'd say most areas have hit 20 by now, or are getting pretty close.

Im sure you already know. Their measuring capabilities, frequent forecast errors (as we've seen this season), or inadequate warning procedures. If I recall, during the July flood, they issued the warnings well into the storm.

Its a long tradition with EC. Around the middle of the last decade you wouldn't believe the incompetence, there would be times where we would be under watches (or nothing) for severe thunderstorms and AFTER the thunderstorm went by with nothing on radar coming after it (cold front gone by already and no chance for more), they would then issue the severe thunderstorm warning! :lmao: I was in disbelief the first few times. Around 2008 that nonsense ended but how hard is it to look at the radar?

 

The heaviest I got from this winter storm ended up being at 11:10 am with it starting 8-9 am. It wasn't too windy but during the peak it was moderate snow with some blowing. TWN isn't sharing the details about the totals as of this morning for some reason (Toronto and surrounding). Great to hear Ontario did very well.

That sounds similar to what happened here in downtown T.O

Didn't really get going until 8 am. Moderate snow, + SN around 10- 11 am, -SN since 1 pm. or so.

Ended up with 13 cm in that time.
