cyclone77 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 0.42" between last night's rain and today's showers. Had a good 2-3hrs of thunder last night. Quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Picked up 1.1" of snow this morning. The band maxed out near 35dbz, and it all fell in about an hour. That was an impressive band this morning, albeit short-lived. Looks like we could get more snow Sunday evening/overnight according to the 12z Euro and GGEM.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 That was an impressive band this morning, albeit short-lived. Looks like we could get more snow Sunday evening/overnight according to the 12z Euro and GGEM. JB and a few other mets have been hinting at a big flip to warmer than average weather after April 20th and especially into May. That snow band this morning was impressive, I have to agree.

harrisale Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Picked up 1.1" of snow this morning. The band maxed out near 35dbz, and it all fell in about an hour. Same story here essentially. 1.5" today including a 15minute period of +SN. Quite the snowy April. Jealous of the thunder reports to the west and south. Light rain now.

hlcater Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Interesting map a local met posted, what stuck out to me is that DGX has issued 200 svr tstm warnings and that even Maine has somehow coughed up a few severe warnings, not sure when that would've been.

Geos Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 00z models painting a very snowy picture locally Friday night! A narrow bands of heavy snow looks possible somewhere. About 5" for you. Ending up with a surplus there for the season? I think Bo seeing the grass will be put on hold until May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Still snowing. Hasn't stopped since 9:30 Tuesday evening. As of 4am I've received 14.5" for this "event", with a low average SLR of 9:1. Now over 40" of snow since last Thursday.No grass until May is a good bet, Geos. Focus now turns to late tonight-Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 About 5" for you. Ending up with a surplus there for the season? I think Bo seeing the grass will be put on hold until May. Well I'm at 33.3" and dtw is 34.4". Normal is 42.5" (period of record norm 41"), so a surplus is unlikely, but nevertheless regardless of what happens tomorrow it is getting uncanny that we just always make the most out of snowfall here anymore, crappy pattern be damned. This certainly was not what I would call an enjoyable winter (no big storms, tons of snowpack nuking thaws), but I simply can't call a winter that ends up just slightly below normal a disaster. So it's been a full decade now that we've been buried with 1 ratter (2011-12) & 1 meh winter (2015-16). And this is a super nino!!! With our snowy cycle we are in and an active nina winter potentially lying ahead in 2016-17, every snow lover should in this region should be excited in the Fall!I just hope the snow holds off so the tigers can get the home opener in tomorrow at 1pm. Then let it snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 YYZ recorded 1.2" of snow yesterday, bringing them up to 7.0" for the month. Only need 0.1" to tie February for the snowiest month of 2015-16. Let's do it and break it. Snowiest April since 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Sure different from the Warsaw IN area, Bo. If you moved north to get snow you certainly got your wish. Me, I like snow but am more a svr wx guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I like snow but am more a svr wx guy.Yes, I love the snow, the remoteness even more. However, it is a constant battle to keep the wilderness at bay.... The weather, animals, the woods themselves. Keeps you on your toes, but I wouldn't recommend this lifestyle for everyone.I do miss Indiana's storms in spring summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 To put the Toronto snow in some historical perspective, six inches or more in April occurred in these years 1846 to 2015: (this is the downtown site, YYZ probably would not be vastly different) 14.8 _ 1979 12.9 _ 1857 11.0 _ 1874 9.7 __ 1966 9.6 __ 1975 9.4 __ 1852 8.8 __ 1901 8.7 __ 1932 8.6 __ 1885 8.0 __ 1943 7.8 __ 1996 7.7 __ 1939 7.7 __ 2005 7.1 __ 1886 7.1 __ 1894 7.0 __ 1957 6.9 __ 1861 6.8 __ 1928 6.7 __ 1944 6.6 __ 2002 6.4 __ 1967 6.3 __ 1893 6.0 __ 1908 Also, six lowest max values (and ties) for April 8 and 9 (1840 to 2015): APRIL 8 ___ APRIL 9 31 (1850) __ 33 (1928) 31 (1868) __ 33 (1985) 31 (1972) __ 33 (1997) 31 (1977) __ 34 (1845) 32 (1862) __ 34 (1868) 32 (1974) __ 35 (1914) 32 (1979) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This pattern is getting old, but good consensus on the ensembles for a big shift next week away from eastern troughing. Here's hoping for a 2010 like rebound. Once to late April, the pattern went gangbusters on the severe side all the way through June.

wisconsinwx Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 On the surface comparisons to 2010 seem to hold some weight. It was a Nino to Nina situation for one. We are due for a warm and stormy summer like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both when they broke from the winter pattern went bonkers.2003 was also coming out of a moderate-strong Nino, so hopefully we see something similar this year. I'm fairly optimistic for a big spring uptick this year and then expecting a very active pattern next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
