Torontonian Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Looks like the snow falls between ~5pm-11pm. This time around, the H85 isotherm is lagging the 0c line at the sfc so it should be a fairly clean transition from SN-->RN. Snowfall rates will probably vary quite a bit as they tend to do in spring but I like your 1-3" call. Then... onto spring. That is exactly what happened here in T.O. Good call.

snowcaine Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Really? It looks like moderate snow on the MTO cams along the 401. Of course temps are marginal, maybe uhi is screwing you a bit. Picked up 0.7" here before we switched over to ZR. Basically had flurries and freezing drizzle back and forth until 7:30 pm when things really picked up. Switched to ZR around 10:30 pm.

snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Checked the records myself and it indeed is. Right now April 2016 is 7th all time. Looks like we should have no problem cracking the top 5. April 1939 = 12.9" April 1975 = 10.7" April 1979 = 10.2" April 1961 = 9.6" April 1947 = 7.3" April 1966 = 7.1" April 2016 = 7.0" With yesterday's 1.0" at YYZ, April 2016 leapfrogs into 5th place at 8.0" on the month. But that's as far as we go. Terrible winter but an interestingly anomalous April to save it from the absolute dregs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible winter but an interestingly anomalous April to save it from the absolute dregs. Interesting start to April for sure. Even though it was only 5th snowiest, I can't remember an April with so many days of flakes flying. Picked up about 1.5" here before a brief period of ZR. Can't wait for the pattern flip this week.

If not, then your memory serves you correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might end up being as warm or warmer than I will at the end of the week. EURO only gets it to the low 50s here on Friday and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature's AC FTL in your area. At least there will be plenty of increasingly strong April sun and the onshore winds do not look like they will be synoptically enhanced on any of the days.

When they're synoptically driven from the east it's not that pleasant. There's usually a window of time in the late morning when it warms up enough to feel pretty pleasant before a lake breeze kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed a few times that the southeast synoptic regime lake breezes tend to have less cooling influence farther inland vs. northerly synoptic regimes. That's what I've seen anecdotally on the 1 minute data for ORD and MDW upon lake breeze passage in the 2 different regimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sunday and Monday look like low 60s right now on the Euro before a synoptic system hits around Tuesday. Want a couple mild dry days to do some deck staining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 1.60 in the tippy bucket for the two day total for this system. The clearing line is very close to overhead finally. Should be about done with the rain, finally. Things are well and truly damp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 0.9" from last night brings me up to 33.6" on the season. Can't wait for some true LES in London next winter. In the meantime, bring on the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 my parents' house in the Toledo area after the storm Awesome pic. Next only to the plaster job we had Nov 21st. Though we missed this one, there were more plaster jobs this winter than I can remember in the last probably 4 winters combined, record snow and all (we do powder well here).

michsnowfreak Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Interesting snow stats for the recent April winter blast.... This area missed out on the blankets of April snow that nearby areas saw, but flakes were in the air seemingly constantly, with snow falling on 8 of 9 days from April 2-10. Though.DTW only accumulated a grand total of 1.3" of April snow (2.1" imby), measurable snow fell on 5 days (2nd, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th). Only 1 April on record had more days of measurable snow, and no Aprils on record had more consecutive days of measurable snow. Most days of measurable April snow 8 days - 1957 5 days - 1920, 1926, 1966, 1982, 2016 4 days - 1881, 1934, 1936, 1943, 1953, 1976, 1985, 1986, 2007 Most consecutive days with measurable snow in April 4 days - Apr 6-9, 1957...Apr 11-14, 1934...Apr 7-10, 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Even with bright sun and light wind, it's still 40s and chilly today. We should reach the low 50s later. Thankfully, we are nearly done with the cold. Every day should be at least in the 60s beginning tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
