Clippers Racing Through

When I was walking to the library today morning, I've noticed a chill that I haven't seen in a while, winter Chill. The Wind is gusting those squalls as they came down once every little while, giving the winter like view outside. The only thing that doesn't look winterish is the ground, the snow from last night all melted away in a hurry.

The next two weeks are gonna get VERY interesting.

The cold front which brought us winter like conditions and snowsqualls is also gonna open up the lane for the Clipper parade( Santa Claus parade is today in Toronto). The first Clipper which had already arrived, is moving south of us, we could get a few burst of heavy snows overnight tonight and tommorow morning but not gonna see significant amount, probably 1-3 cm. The snowbelts are very active today and for the next several days. Them people Northwest of Toronto alright received 10-15 cm from yesterdays backside storm(compared to 2 cm in Toronto) and is reiving an additional 10-30 cm from the squall today and tommorow.

The second clipper is a bit more interesting, its been on the models for 5 days now and the track haven't changed much, there is also a bit more moiture with this clipper and the latest models shows a direct hit in southern Ontario. We could see 3-8 cm in south central to southwestern Ontario. I will be monitoring this one closely.

What I am really hyped up about is a storm showing on GFS a week away. This storm was shown as a monster that will bring 50+ cm of snow to southern Ontario 4-5 days ago, it reappeared once again(this time its not that strong though)! I however would not jump on the gun yet, it is only one run of one model and the track could be very different a day from now, and it will go back and furth until it reaches the 48 hour range. It is definately something to watch right now.

For now though, lets all enjoy the parade of Clippers! :)
