DTW got 0.1 yesterday and 0.2 today, the blowy/drifty type of fluff that likes to drift against the curbs and stuff. Its actually funny, like Ajdos says, its been snowing almost nonstop the past 2 days...but with just a few tenths. BTW, I think Chicagowx updates this thread once a week.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Pearson is a joke. I'm going to send off another e-mail today to the climo dept at Environment Canada but it likely won't accomplish much. They recorded 0.7" for yesterday Not only is the amount ridiculously low, they measured 0.06 liquid. 12:1 ratio? Driving home yesterday I saw two people using leaf blowers to blow 4" plus worth of fluff off their driveways. During a similar LES event last week, they recorded an even 10:1 ratio. Just unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the flip side, Pearson will probably have the highest total when the next rain/wet snowstorm mixture hits. LOL. lol, yeah. Too bad it seems a lot more of our snow is in the form of powder/fluff rather than cement mixer snow, otherwise Pearson would lead the world in annual accumulations. It's gotten to the point where I'm just ignoring Pearson's data. Four main Toronto climo observation locations. Amounts in cm. Pearson came in with the lowest seasonal snowfall in 8 of the 16 years (50%). It also averaged the lowest seasonal snowfall total during the period. There's no reason that Pearson, being removed from the urban heat-island effect, and the moderating effects of Lk Ontario, should receive so much less snow than EC HQ and Buttonville. The slight decrease in latitude might account for some of a very small difference, but not 15-45cm worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishforsnow Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The official report for where I live is 15 on the ground. So far it has been nothing to write home about. We are suppose to get maybe 6 more this weekend, but the coming week is going to be pretty quiet. Hopefully we don't get that annual after Christmas thaw. Hopefully things will ramp up in January. I hope it doesn't turn out like last year where winter just ran out of steam in January, and we received very little snow form January on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
