I'm am pretty snowed in up here... haven't been to town since Wednesday. Models were pretty consistent in showing snowfall in feet around here. Received 16-17" as a storm total here, and I see MQT recorded pretty close to the same with 16.5" last night and today. I've had nearly 40" the past 5 days and my two snow stakes are measuring 32 and 34 inches otg. Winter so far seems to be picking up right where last year left off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Had a little period of wet snow a short while ago. Not enough to stick but nice to see mood flakes. Will be moving to the new house this week so I'm okay with the weather being quiet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 About ~3.2" fell last night at YYZ (still snowing). This doesn't include the 1.2" that fell yesterday. Not a total bust, but the PL yesterday certainly put a dent on what could have been a 4-6" snowstorm (prior to last night's snowfall). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many moving parts with this system and it created model chaos in the days leading up and on the day of it (warm air aloft and timing of transfer of primary low to coastal low). Hope you and the rest of the Toronto crew are doing well (snowstormcanuck, Ottawa Blizzard, mississaugasnow, blizzardof96, Torontonian, etc). Hoping for a decent winter season for the GTA and southern Ontario. Awesome start to winter in November and I have a feeling it's going to be a good one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived back from Nicaragua yesterday in the height of the snow/ice pellets. The board had a lot of cancellations and delays, I was thankful we arrived pretty much on time. Im just catching up on everything and looking at models to see how the next few weeks leading up to christmas will be. Heading to NYC to visit a few friends next weekend so I wouldnt mind if there was no snowstorms on those dates haha. I hope everything is well with you as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 0.1" of snow at ORD and 0.4" here last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary67 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Average snowfall for ORD at the end of December is 9.6" Thats probably close to where you will be by the end of the month for a seasonal total. Especially since 1st half of the month looks to be a shut out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially seeing as it is likely we more or less lose the first 10-15 days of the month. Long range looks slightly better, but even still it doesn’t even look that great, just seasonable. Though even seasonable is something significant considering the run of poor Decembers we’re on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, with cold comes an increased risk of snow, although it can certainly still snow even in a warmer pattern. To me it's going to almost take a perfect storm of everything going wrong in the next 4 weeks for ORD to not increase its snow total by a substantial amount. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post made me look at the cold season months this decade at Detroit to see how many were colder than average and how many were warmer than average. To keep it simple, 0.1° either way is either colder or warmer than average, I did not do any of that 1ﾟ within normal type of stuff. Not surprisingly, December is the black sheep for cold anomalies. Averages exist for a reason, sometimes it's above, sometimes it's below. Cold season months more often than not finished colder than avg this decade. 2010s Nov 6 cold, 4 mild Dec 4 cold, 6 mild (ASSUMING 2019 is mild) Jan 6 cold, 4 mild Feb 5 cold, 5 mild Mar 7 cold, 3 mild Apr 6 cold, 4 mild I really feel this one's going to end up being BN, thus we'll have a 5-5 split for the decade.

If were sitting at 11.2" at end of the month I wont feel the prediction was wrong. If were sitting at 17-20" then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Couple models showing 1-3" across the GTA on Friday with a weak clipper passing by. Nothing too serious, just some light snow lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Snow % of normal up to this date. This is a large amount of snowfall across the country. Weather enthusiasts (on this discussion board) Chicago, eastern Iowa, the Northeast, and the Mountain West discussion group have quite a bit above normal. A relatively small amount of snow in Tennessee and a few southern areas appear as a >750% of normal snowfall. I wonder what the meteorological winter will hold for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looking good for 2-4" across much of the GTA into Hamilton tomorrow as a clipper passes on thru. Going to be a messy morning commute. Potential is there for lake enhancement with 4-5" in some localized areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find these all encompassing snow maps to be wrong more often than not (usually on the light side). For example, it shows mby at 125% of normal when I'm actually at 300%. Also, all major reporting locales across NMI are reporting a surplus so the large area of yellow there is highly suspect as well: https://www.weather.gov/apx/snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Measured 2.5" this morning with the clipper snow. Little icing on the cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Magnitude of the cold shot next week seems to be backing off a bit. Lack of snow cover with southward extent once you get into most of IA, IL, etc won't help either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
