Another winter going to the record books?

It will be quite something if 2 record breaking winter occurs in a row, and that is what we might be looking at!

Nov and Dec had seen a total of 70-80cm of snow, which meant we are on pace for a 210-240cm winter! Of course, that is assuming we keep this up and as far as right now is concerned, we definitely are!

The storm which I mentioned yesterday continues to develope. All the major weather models had already agreed with a low centred around the GTA(yeah, you heard me right). Usually, this mean we are looking at an icy/rain storm, but since this one is coming directly from the south as a Texas low, the cold air coming from the north west should keep us mostly snow if not all.

The low pressure centre looks to be quite deep. Droping below the 990mb mark and quite possibly reaching the 980 mb mark.

The system is also a slow mover, which means we are in for 24+ hours of on and off snow. The moiture does not yet look very impressive, but I think that will come and 15-25cm is not out of the question.

With the shift to more of a westerly track, the chance of mixing increases, but as the track stands now, that risk will still remain to the extreme Southwestern Ontario.

Winter Storm watch will be issued for parts of the Southwestern Ontario tonight as well as the primary forecast. That map will slowly expand tommorow and warnings will start to come out Monday night.

With all that excitment, I almost forgot to mention the freezing rain event that we shall see tommorow. The amount looks to be minimal but whenever you are dealing with ice, things are always effy. I will advise most people not to drive tommorow in Southern Ontario.

With that, I would like to conclude that this looks once again be one snowy winter, whether we will be near the record, lets find out!
