Flurries are widely scattered so far this afternoon, especially in the southwest. 2-5 cm in general is expected with this system by tomorrow night, with locally higher amounts of 5-10 cm possible, especially south of the Trans-Canada. Might be needing the snow shovel again..<br /><br />Cool down back to seasonal values for the weekend, then at this point it appears like a big warmup for early next week, with temperatures above zero possible.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-18222230552034387712012-03-01T14:58:06.286-06:002012-03-01T14:58:06.286-06:00February summary is finished.

I kept it a little shorter than January's summary, as I found January's summary was a little lengthy. I just put what I found was most important to point out.<br /><br />As for the current weather talk:<br />A rare thunderstorm event impacted southern Ontario last night.

GFS for instance is showing temperatures approaching double digits by the second week of March, with temperatures approaching 20 C near Windsor in extreme southwestern Ontario. It's been showing a dramatic warm-up in March for some time, so it will be interesting to see if it comes true. Every month since last July has been above normal in temperatures, at this point it appears March will follow that trend.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-83988400025994714612012-02-29T16:24:38.074-06:002012-02-29T16:24:38.074-06:00Working on the February summary tonight, so hopefu...Working on the February summary tonight, so hopefully I'll have it finished by evening, or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. <br /><br />And just how warm actually was this winter? How does this winter rank? I'll have the answers either tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning in a new post. Be sure to check around for that.. :)jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-25410900759567245112012-02-29T15:22:29.982-06:002012-02-29T15:22:29.982-06:00The system Friday at this point is looking less an...The system Friday at this point is looking less and less severe for us, though it is still not 100% certain. It appears at this point that the Colorado Low (another one, not the same one as yesterday/today) that is expected to form tomorrow will keep most of its energy to our south and east and affect mainly Ontario and south of the border. We will still get some snow with the Clipper though, but 2-5 cm looks like the best bet at this point.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-32059389747224340092012-02-29T15:16:57.771-06:002012-02-29T15:16:57.771-06:00Several tornadoes reported south of the border yes...Several tornadoes reported south of the border yesterday and today, from Nebraska/Kansas across to southern Missouri to Illinois and Kentucky.

Getting closer, can't wait for our turn! :P Ok maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, we've got a ways until that. Thunder is possible though as close as southern Minnesota and South Dakota tonight with the snow and rain. Powerful Colorado Low shaping up as we speak, with pressure of 984 mb at its centre in Nebraska early this evening. 20-30 cm still expected in parts of Minnesota, Nebraska and Minnesota along with blizzard conditions.<br /><br />Link below for current warnings around North Dakota. <br />http://www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-14176558501010646802012-02-28T15:56:46.347-06:002012-02-28T15:56:46.347-06:00Models returning with the idea of a miss for south...Models returning with the idea of a miss for southern Manitoba tomorrow. We may still get some flurries, and it definitely will be cloudier, though not anything significant. Looks like the flurries will be more dominant tomorrow night than during the day as well. Perhaps a cm at most for most areas, though at this point it really looks like just a dusting.<br /><br />Steadier snow looks to develop Thursday night and Friday. It doesn't look like a very heavy snow, rather a light or moderate snowfall, keeping accumulations a little lower. 2-5 or 5-10 cm still the forecasts for now. Although as stated in the post, things are uncertain considering we could be talking about 2 systems; a Colorado Low and an Alberta Clipper. Energy transfer between the both is always uncertain this far off, so stay tuned...jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-73129088384798933522012-02-28T15:48:30.357-06:002012-02-28T15:48:30.357-06:00Spectacular day filled with sun, light winds and m...Spectacular day filled with sun, light winds and mild temperatures, and a bit of melting in the sun.
