Clipper Brings delightful amounts, winterstorm on the horizon

I am delighted when I woke up yesterday morning seeing 8 fresh cm on the ground, the Clipper had slightly overperformed many original forecasts. There are a few more heavier bands moving across the GTA after 11:00 pm, and is able to bring the total amount in my area to 8cm.

Squalls had already started west of London, accumulations could get heavy with up to 30-50 cm in effected areas. London will mainly miss the heavest part, and will see 15-25cm out of the squalls come Saturday evening.

I'm no expert in lake effect snow and you should refer to someone else if you want to know the exact set up of the lake effect the next several days.

Another Coastal low is set to meet Nova scotia then Newfoundland, their is the potential of 15cm -20 cm in Halifax and even more in rural areas. Due to the large amount forecasted for Halifax, this low is now official named winter storm Brian. I will probably have a map out for this winterstorm tommorow

we are entering a very active pattern the next three weeks.



Models is consistantly bringing a Clipper down to southern Ontario, Clashing with some warm gulf moisture coming from south. This is a very good set up for a winter storm and is exactly what I am going to focus on for the next few days.

Since this is early into the winter season, whenever we get gulf moistures, we will probably not gonna see all snow. Temperatures will hover around 0-4 degrees when this low phases and gives us a visit, things such as ice pellets and freezing rain is definitely not out of the question.

This low will travel through the upper lakes, departs once the gulf moiture is up and transfers to the coast, and will ride up inland, resulting in a possible big nor'easter for the Atlantic Provinces. People in the Northeast Apps should receive mixing and some decent amounts, but the folks closer th the coast probably will get all rain

This is still early and is only a potential, so keep that in mind there may be lots of changes. I will be monitoring this one very heavily.

this small clipper brough decent amounts for the folks in the GTA, but this will be the first of much more to come!
