Clippers Continue to up snowfall totals



Toronto is already approaching the seasonal average and we could very well surpass it before even reaching the halfway of the winter. Two clippers will rumble across a region, bring up to 25-30cm in total for places in Southern Ontario.

The first one will arrive Monday overnight. With the intensifying trend of the models and the high snow ratio we are looking at. I think 10-15cm is not out of the question for many places. It could be as much as 20cm in some places north and east of Toronto. Very strong wind will follow which could result in blizzard like conditions once again.

The second one is the one to watch, with the models trending slightly north and with the snow ratio ration EXTREMELY high, I think this one have a lot of potential. I will certainly keep an eye on this. Also consider windchill values in the -30s while this clipper takes place.. YIKES

Thanks for your comments, I don't see any major system but small 5-10cm clippers the next 5-7 day period.

There could be a system riding up the gulf around the Jan 19-22 period. Although I wouldn't bet on it.

Don't usually look at models this far out, they usually show one thing this run and something completely different the next.

yeah, ever since yesterday, the radar had been pretty unimpressed with the first clipper, overall, got about 7cm from this clipper, but definitely not the 10-15 cm range I am hoping for.
