Hoosier Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well, doesn't this look great? The temp map looks more like what you would expect in El Nino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 That does look terrible. I was thinking maybe this winter would be like that of 1975-76? That was a La Nina that saw a very warm first two weeks of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 My fear is that we time it where the back half of Dec is worse than the first half. Hopefully not, because warm holidays suck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Woke up to sunshine and 16 degrees. Warm and dry is the theme for the first half of the month around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Drier than average Nina December actually isn't that unheard of. Just had one in 2017 in most of the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 May have a minor LES setup for the western/southern shores of LM on Sun/Mon. Looks marginal to say the least though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Snow still trying to hang tough, full cover in any shaded areas. I am tired of seeing the sun. We've certainly had a handful of cloudy days but this is the time of year I look I look forward to that constant gray overcast. Yes, I mean that and yes I know I'm in the minority. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Interesting little set-up tomorrow from Kitchener to Oshawa. Potential for 1-3" (3-8cm) across Toronto tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Warm sfc temps have limited accumulations across Toronto today. Amazing radar returns but surface is too warm for any accumulation even away from the Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 just patches and piles of snow left as temps hung in the upper 30s all night. now onto a boring stretch that hopefully is one of few in what should be a stormy winter. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like gray skies in winter but it's irritating when snow melts, then it turns gray. The absolute perfect Winter scene is a steel gray sky with fresh bright white snow everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Martin Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Tidbits from Long Term AFD by CLE and IWX... CLE: .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... A large upper level ridge over the eastern United states will begin to amplify slightly by the end of the week as a deep digging upper level trough dives into the Central Plains states. Surface high pressure over the Ohio Valley will settle south and build as it moves out to the Atlantic Ocean from the Georgia coast. Warm air advection will take place on the west side of the high pressure into the forecast area for much of the latter half of the week. As the upper level trough begins to dive into the Plains States toward the end of the week, a series of surface low pressure systems will develop over the Oklahoma Panhandle. The first will move northeast through the central Great Lakes Friday night keeping our area in the warm sector. However, looking further out, the second Panhandle Hook appears it will track deeper south and keep the local area on the cold side of the low. Another possible winter storm will need to be watched for Sunday as the week progresses. All of the long range models agree on colder air and development of this low at this time. IWX: Guidance still advertises an active pattern setting up for the weekend with a storm brewing over the central states. The features to watch are a cut-off low off the coast of the Baja and a trough arriving onshore of British Columbia late in the week. These features will dictate how the storm from the Central U.S. evolves. Stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
