Guest Fishing For Life Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Hi guys, just a headsup that 25cm snow is coming to Hamilton & Toronto Area ... Damn it, I was planning to go fishing @ Niagara Region this weekend ... Who else is crazy enough to go!
ccmtcanada Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Yep...here's the weather watch from Environment Canada....no driving for me Saturday night/Sunday! Stay safe! =================================================================== ..Major winter storm approaching Saturday.. This is an alert to the potential development of dangerous winter weather conditions in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A major winter storm will develop in Texas later today and make its way north towards southwestern Ontario Saturday afternoon. Significant snowfall accumulations over the regions are likely Saturday night through Sunday. It is possible winter storm warnings will be issued for some regions due to snowfall accumulations of 25 centimetres in less than 24 hours. There will also be significant blowing snow and possibly freezing rain over the regions. The snow will spread northward over most of southern Ontario Saturday night and through Sunday morning. This will make travel on the roads extremely hazardous and travel should be postponed or alternate travel arrangements should be considered. The winter storm watch may be extended northward and eastward once the exact track of the storm and the extent of the snowfall is determined.
Raf Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 cool. get to try the new tires on the heep.
solopaddler Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Saturday should be fine, Sunday looks a bit iffy though...
Greencoachdog Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 My goodness that sounds nasty! It's going to be XX*F (censored) here to day! Would 25 cm be anywhere near 9 13/16 inches? Or is it closer to 2.5 decimeters?.. but I know it's not even close to 250 mm. My head hurts!!!
fishing n autograph Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 great, nothing like a snowstorm and a night shift....lol...another 2+ hour drive home!
Gerritt Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Toronto will be spared... Windsor to Hamilton though is a completely different story according to the news.. G
Terry Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 well we don't need any snow here we need clear skies and calm winds to make lots of ice
Headhunter Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Well that kicks the crap out of my Sunday plans to try and hit the Q again... I wonder how the "Warden" would feel about fishin on Xmas Eve! LOL HH
misfish Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 well we don't need any snow here we need clear skies and calm winds to make lots of ice Calm skys with the temps coming at night,we may just be fishing whities and lakers come the 1st.
Guest Fishing For Life Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 So .... should I go fishing in Niagara Region on Sunday? due to GF issues, I could not make it on Saturday .. you know what? maybe this is a good thing since it wont be crowded!

ccmtcanada Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Toronto will be spared... Windsor to Hamilton though is a completely different story according to the news.. G Toronto is now included in the weather watch (added at 10:33am)...as well as most of Southern Ontario. It's gonna be a messy weekend.

motv8tr Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) psht, how many times have they said this and then nothing happened? Even their idea of a "bad" storm isn't that bad...sheesh. If it comes, it will come and likely won't be as bad as they are saying..heck, they'll likely change their minds 4-5 , more times...won't know for sure until Sunday morning...no matter what, my plans won't change Maureen Edited December 14, 2007 by motv8tr

keram Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Considering accuracy of the forecasts, I'm going to predict tht we will have somwhere between 5 - 55 cm . But I can be wrong
Guest Fishing For Life Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Hi there, just curious about one thing how do you guys meet up in real life?

ccmtcanada Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Hi there, just curious about one thing how do you guys meet up in real life? I have got so much information from this board and havent had a chance to actually meet you guys in person ... lets say i am going Queenston .. how do i know who is who? should I have a book in my hand? Cheets! I usually wear this hat when I'm fishing with others from this board..... I will usually meet up with the other person at a pre-determined time and location...do some introductions and then head off to fish. I'll tell them what kind of car I drive etc... Good luck!
huntervasili Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 you're not wearing a hat in that picture Cliff, come to think of it you're being held by a guy I saw once at one of the fishing shows... Believe me it can be tough, everyone is less pleasant looking in real life thats what I noticed with the guys at the BOQ G2G anyway... Pixels really help hide hideousness
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 im looking forward to it!!!! tomorrow is a home day and sunday my wife and i are doing a cpr course like 10 minutes from home. It sure will be nice to be close to home for a change when snow comes. Cheers!

lookinforwalleye Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 25 cm`s thats pretty close to Canadian Forces time for you city slickers. With all the people I see driving in the GTA without winter tires and worn out summer tires It will in no doubt be an adventure. If you have to drive have a care and say a prayer to those that are too cheap to buy some snow tires.
OhioFisherman Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 25 cm? LOL you guys were in trouble when you ran out of feets! Up to 10 inches (5/6 of a foot) expected here.
