Another winter storm...just what we needed....

[ccmtcanada]

Just what we needed...yet another major winter storm starting on Sunday. The only ray of hope is that the low tracks north a little. That would suck for central/northern Ontario as that would mean 25 to 30 cm of snow, but for southern ontario it would mean a little freezing rain and then all rain into Monday.

 

Here's the watch right now....check out your updates here...

Winter storm watch for

City of Toronto issued

 

Significant winter storm on the way Sunday to Monday morning.

 

This is an alert to the potential development of dangerous winter weather conditions in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

 

A large scale winter storm which has yet to develop in Texas is expected to move north towards southern Ontario and bring a mixed bag of wintery precipitation Sunday to Monday morning. At this time it appears that this storm has the potential to bring significant freezing rain across southwestern Ontario starting Sunday morning before progressing east to the greater Toronto area later in the day. The freezing rain will be at times mixed with ice pellets and the combined effect can produce very slippery road conditions. There is the chance that the freezing rain will change over to rain Sunday night.

 

Regions located in eastern Ontario including the Ottawa Valley north to Algonquin Park will see the precipitation start out as snow late on Sunday with a shot of freezing rain Sunday night. Current indications show that total snowfall amounts of 15 centimetres is possible by Monday morning.

 

There is significant uncertainty as to the track of this winter storm. Generally the storm is expected to track over lower Michigan on Sunday and move northeastward into central Ontario on Monday. If the storm takes a more northerly track through Georgian Bay there will likely be a significant warm up and a shorter period of freezing rain since it will all turn into rain. Alternately if the storm tracks through the lower Great Lakes the storm will cause a prolonged period of freezing rain and significant amounts of snow to the regions.

 

The Ontario storm prediction centre will continue to monitor the development of this storm. As the weather situation develops appropriate weather warnings will be issued.

My friends north of the border ain't alone ... we're supposed to get it here too. I just got the last of the ice off my walk and driveway this evening. Guess that makes more room for more of that crap.

I'd rather have another 30 centimeters, then rain on teh 3 feet we aready have. The side walks are bad enough around these parts.

[Garyv]

I'm sick of this schite bring on spring!

[bucktail]

Every drop is needed , it may suck now but come spring at least water levels will recover. Dont think this rain will open much rivers up as there is soo much snow on the ground it probably will absorb it.

[tbayboy]

Well they seem to be tempering it down now to just some freezing rain in the morning Sunday (then regular rain in the afternoon) with maybe an inch of snow monday. I'm fine with that, at least until my basement and roof both start leaking at the same time

[fishing n autograph]

wonderful...yet another storm when i'm working....perhaps i can drive 8 hours to work instead of 6

[dsn]

As long as we don't lose all the ice but the snow on Lake simcoe I'm happy. Don't need the snow just the ice. So bring on the rain or freezin rain.
