Jonger Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 And that says a lot considering how bad the 90's were in this little slice of the universe... Winter rarely started before the 20th of December in the 1990's... by winter, I mean actual snow and cold. Anything before then was just bonus it seemed. Now, that doesn't let this one off the hook. This december has been terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nothing really stands out to me locally, especially in the shadows of such an active 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nothing really stands out to me locally, especially in the shadows of such an active 2013. For me some of the highlights... nothing earth shattering this year. 1. 102 Consecutive days with snow cover breaks the record for YYZ by a huge margin. 2. Feb 5th snowstorm. Dumped 10.6" IMBY, still the biggest storm for my part of the GTA since 2/8/13. 3. March 13th snowstorm. Blizzard conditions and ~7" on the day. 4. Dec 11th snowstorm dumps a surprise 9". 5. June downburst/strong wind event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Nothing really stands out to me locally, especially in the shadows of such an active 2013. Agreed. We had one 6"+ snowfall IIRC, pea size hail twice, and a lot of cold. Nothing particularly stands out locally aside from my brief pin needle funnel same day as the Millbank and Grand Bend tornadoes.

michsnowfreak Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 One of the cooler memories was on April 15th when the season snowfall was broken, I was shocked not only how it was a huge story on the news, but also how everyone seemed almost excited about it, including people who hate snow to begin with.

buckeye Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 1.) clipper/squall weekend.....sometime in Jan '14, can't recall dates. Picked up 10" over the weekend, but ggem was the only model that came close to predicting it. 2.) the disappointment of being warm tongued Jan 5th when everyone else in the subforum was being buried. Salt in the wound was the fact that it ushered in the coldest temps in years over a barely-dusted ground. 3.) November cold and snow shot....recall driving to an evening appointment in the country, temp read 13 on the dashboard, low visibility with blowing snow across the roads....couldn't believe it was November. No warm weather or severe stuff stands out this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Forgot about the unusual arctic cold in early March. Hit -12 March 3rd, which was very impressive. Also unusual that 93 was the hottest temp of the year. Exceeded that probably 30 times in 2012. Here's my yearly summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
