Measured 2.1" with the band today in Woodbridge, just north of Toronto. About 5" on the ground now. Nice to see snow piles again on the edge of my driveway. Winter wonderland Wow very nice. Just a dusting on the ground here. We have had 9 days this season with T - 1" on the ground but no more yet. Im waiting for those piles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't see see lake effect bands extend that far south. Thanks to the snow cover, YYZ got down to 12 last night. Our coldest low so far. Hoping we can both see something more widespread so we can have a piece of the pie together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow season statistically has about 93% more to come here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 19 hours ago, Snowstorms said: London got slammed today with 20-30". Good thing it was moved. You would've gotten stuck. I saw the crush on radar, but you mean 20-30cm instead of inches? TWN had reported the former. I got more heavy snow mid-day 15cm. In the last 7 days I've maybe gotten 105cm+ now. Its a snow bonanza here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Remaining patches of snow in the yard will get obliterated today and tomorrow. Back to BN temps next week. Lakes are starting to see the annual return of ice fishing shacks, my ski hill has been making tons of snow during this cold stretch. Should be a great day on the slopes today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 It looks like the NAM-4km and other models want to keep the inversion tomorrow, but the NWS has my area up to 47 degrees, much better low level warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Iowa is way over-performing today. A couple days ago it was supposed to be upper 40s here. This morning it was raised to the low 50s. It is currently 59º. Central Iowa is in the low 60s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Nothing bothers me more than pouring rain during one of our 3 main months of potential snow. Another slow start and most likely another weak December snow wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand inland it is a different story but I don't think anyone in Buffalo, Erie, or even Gaylord would say, "another weak December snow wise." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking mainly system snow and the detroit area. Up here north of detroit, we haven't hit our december avg of snow in 6 winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city may have barely by less than an inch in 2020 but here north of the city we haven't. But as you said it's been zzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if Nina Decembers could act like typical Nina Decembers. The last time we had a typical Nina December was 2017. From 2000 - 2019, only 2011 was a warm Nina December. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we've definitely had a lot of brown Christmases the last 10 years. Only 4 winters since 2014 here. The 4th was just under an inch so technically 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 10 years have had 4 White Christmases (2016, 2017, 2020, 2022). Since 2000 exactly half the Christmas mornings have been white. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Having never been in a Snow Squall Warning I wondered if the emergency alert would be triggered on my phone if one is issued. Here’s what I found: “Only high-impact snow squall events that are tagged as “significant” will trigger a Wireless Emergency Alert in the warned area, which will reduce overalerting. The new “significant” tag will be implemented by various weather forecast offices on Nov. 7, 2022 with nationwide implementation completed by February 2023”. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 what section of the house do we go to in the event of a snow squall warning? Southwest corner? And do we open windows? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
