BuffaloWeather Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Ended with 17.2” here, Highest totals in wny were 20-23” range. Heaviest/wettest snow I’ve ever shoveled. If this was 1:20 ratios we would be talking 40”+ totals. We’ve been killing it here with synoptic in March. This March with 20+”, last March with 30”+, March 2014 with a blizzard and 20-25” amounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 12 hours ago, Snowstorms said: You always have some interesting analogies. This is our third disappointment this winter. You know with all the disappointments and busts Toronto goes through, that a majority of the subforum doesnt go through, we deserve a couple of consolidation winters, haha. Maybe it's our geographic location? This could also be said about some thunderstorms too. I think it most certainly is Toronto's geographic location - it's just not a snowy location compared to pretty much everywhere surrounding it. As Canuck has said, if you want 10"+ storms every winter, best to relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it is our geographic location. We live in a weather shadow. Appalachians to our east, Escarpment to our west, windward side of the lake. And add climate change to the mix. It's pretty bleak. Things aren't going to get better. I'd also add that Toronto has always seen less snow than pretty much every community surrounding it due to, as you said, us living in a weather shadow. It's ironic that we find this frustrating while most other people in the GTA consider it a blessing and a selling point for living here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The northtowns have triple the amount of people the southtowns have because they receive less snow. The difference in total snowfall in buffalo northtowns to southtowns depending on location is 100" per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Pics from yesterday morning....when a 5-1 snowfall of 5" welcomes March, you get awesome pastejob scenes. This was only my 4th largest snowstorm this winter, but it was the best pastejob since Nov 2015. My tree sagging and lost some branches Power lines sag over the road...lots of traffic lights out on the ride in love this pic View from my office window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I stand firm that there are closet cases everywhere. I had three....THREE...separate people at my office yesterday who have been complaining about winter for months, including griping about snow just the day before, comment how "beautiful" and "breathtaking" the snow scenes were. I dont think the general public hatred of snow is as strong as it appears, its just the thing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem quite fair, though, when the big lake effect areas are also lucky enough to get a huge synoptic dumping. Mother Nature needs to do a better job of spreading the wealth.

Yeah 25.4" highest total in WNY. ENY had some 40" totals though. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and I agree 100%. By far powder is my favorite but a good plaster job can be amazing. Most of our snow is powder anyway, so it works out for me!
