Squalls for thought



Strong WNW will now trigger the lakes big time! Time for the snowbelts to have their fun.

Post Winter Storm Charles
This winter storm lived to its potential for sure! I personally received 12cm before the switchover to rain around 10a. People around the lake shore weren't as lucky though, some only received 2-5cm. Areas over to Ottawa and Montreal are still feeling the effect of this storm, it should move out to Atlantic Canada very soon.

Overall, I handled this storm very well including nailing it for the most part almost 2 days out. I would give myself an A- for the forecast for this storm.

Comments??? Feedbacks??? I want to hear from you about how did you area fare in this winter storm

Squalls
The above warning and the red line basically demonstrate my thinking for the snow squalls. It will dominate the next 3 days for the snowbelts. Us in Toronto should be able to get 2-4cm tonight and up to 5-10cm in total over the next 3 days. Areas in the "warning" regions but not in the red line will receive 20-45cm of snowfall. The outskirts fom the warning regions will get 10-20cm. should receive I think the winner from this round of snow squalls will receive over 100cm over the period of the next 3 days. Have fun to you guys!(or not so much fun).

Next Storm
I am watching the time period between the 14-16 for now. Right now, the models are too inconsistent for me to actually say anything about it for now. I think the models will have a much better handle on this tomorrow and my extrapolation should began.

huh?

Anyhow, my placed definitely got 12cm. I was concerned about the warm temperature around the lake and it did actually happen. However, still a pretty decent storm.
