What's this? We STILL need to wait for our first measurable amount of snow???? The mood is foul on this first day of this jolly month. It's hating time!
"Winter Storm Alex" not so wintery
Boo! Hate! Hate! Way to trick us snow-starved people like this! The continued westward shift of the models basically confirmed the track as of last night. Here is exactly what I think happened.
The track of the storm is not much off from my original thought, still going to be slightly below the lakes and along west of the apps. However, the storm tracked up too fast. The cold front associated with the clipper that past above would not bring cold arctic air before and during the storm. This caused the storm to travel directly up north with no cold high pressure air mass dominating. A west app track with no cold air this early in winter is never ideal. Places in extreme Southwestern Ontario as well as North of Orillia could see over 5cm from this storm. Anywhere East of London and South should probably get a coating to 2cm.
I am satisfied with the way I handled this system mostly, doing much less model reading and more extrapolation than last year. I think this is definitely a good way to shake off those early season jitters!
Tracking... Don't hate
I am still watching the two systems which I mentioned yesterday and my thoughts are pretty much exactly the same. Tomorrow, I will start talk about them full scale.
Hate Comments
Since the start of this weather blog, I've started to receive quite a bit of comments. Obviously, not all comments I receive for doing all this work are positive. I mean, constructive criticisms are always welcome. However, it still amazes me that some moronic individuals decide that insulting someone's work over the internet is a good way to spend their time. I guess the only thing society gain from these people is a laugh. From time to time, I guess I'll put out these hate comments I received for your enjoyment! :)
Anonymous 1: Haha you young punks trying to predict the weather, leave that to your daddy!
What we have here is a classic case of insecurity, seeing that someone much younger is doing something much more productive with their life. I guess it is quite ironic that this "young punk" here is quite a bit more mature and knowledgable than you.
Anonymous 2: Go back to your country you dirty jap!
There are so many things wrong with this comment. First of all, I am not Japanese. Second of all, this is so incredibly racist that it isn't even funny anymore. Judging someone by the colour of their skin is something I expect from rednecks down south in the states, not a country like Canada where the diversity of culture is celebrated. In this day and age, how a person decide to write something like this on the internet is beyond me, but I guess I've seen worse(e.g. youtube comments).
Like Peter Chao once said(If you don't know him, you are missing some good humour!), " It is time to stop drinking the haterade and start drinking the bubble tea!"

what's the weather like for next week from the 7 th till 10 th??
It's tough to say since you are asking for such a big time range as well as this far away in time. All I can say right now is that it will be cold( with 0s as highs) with a possible winter storm.
Ok this isn't hate as i enjoy your blog but complaining about racism and then making a racist coment about rednecks mad me laugh and i appreciate that, i am hoping that was meant sarcastically though i doubt the rednecks will get the subtle humor.
Keep up the forcast and bring on the rain (yes snow hater here but storm lover)

Yep, there is a difference between humour and racism. Sometimes there is a very fine line between these two. Other times though(like the hate comment in the post) is pretty clear.
Don't get too many people who hate snow and love the rain around here often. Appreciate the comment. :)
