#ONStorm #ONwx North Scarborough here, recorded on average 20-22in throughout, roughly 50-55cm. Each photo has been taken at a different point.

This event absolutely busted from a public perception standpoint, we don’t have to lie to ourselves here. This illustrates perfectly what I dislike about pperf hindcasts. Completely ignores the aspect of public perception in favor of statistical verification.

One thing that isn't really being talked about much but needs to is the damage effects that our existing catastrophic ice storm from January left and how this high probability widespread severe weather threat could easily cause severe damage if we end up seeing gusts of 70mph+. This ice storm did tremendous damage to trees and existing power infrastructure. Most of these areas have not fully recovered and will not fully recover for a good bit. There is still a lot of weak damaged trees out there. We have already seen existing ice storm impacts effect power loss in a few previous events here in middle Tennessee, but with this being a widespread threat, we all need to be preparing for the legit chance of more longer lasting power outages. More info will come over the next day or so, but please stay glued to the forecast.

You're telling me there's no blizzard warning for this storm??? #ONStorm #onwx

@julienalla11333 No. Most of the severe weather will be concentrated in the USA. Southern Ontario could see some weak thunderstorms, though.

What does everyone think of the squall line on sunday-monday? Could it hit ontario? #onstorm #onwx

this is the type of shit that flys out my ass cheeks on a bad day

i would like to say sorry to the RRFS

literally

well hello storms nice to meet you #onstorm

In Canada, the annual number of wildfires is indeed decreasing. At the same time, annual area burned is *increasing* - especially after 2020, when this study was published. This has been due to increased fire weather conditions (hot, dry, windy), allowing some fires to grow very large - especially in remote areas of the boreal. So while people are getting smarter about starting fires, the amplified warming in higher latitude regions like Canada is creating conditions more conducive to aggressive burning when ignitions do occur, whether from humans or lightning. This trend may continue, with Canada's forests continuing to be more of a carbon source than a sink, as has been the case since the early 2000s: researchsquare.com/article/rs-793… For instance, in Canada's record-breaking 2023 season, which burned over 15 million hectares (an area larger than Greece), wildfires generated 647 Teragrams of Carbon - roughly equivalent to the annual fossil fuel emissions of a large country: nature.com/articles/s4158… In my view, recent increases in area burned in Canada may be the result of a specific climate regime (bolstered by AGW) that has been ongoing since late 2020: badweatherkyle.com/why-have-canad… In any case, just because trends in area burned may be decreasing in other areas, doesn't mean they are decreasing everywhere.

@aguacerowx this would be amazing if you were to add it

Would you all like to make your own variables in the application?

Good enough now for my slabbers

@bouds_c @washingtonpost Global warming just makes it harder for the Earth to regulate its temperature.

@washingtonpost How is this possible with global warming?

It’s been the coldest winter in 15 years for parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with record ice cover on the Great Lakes and rare snow in the tropics. Meanwhile, the West has seen unusually warm temperatures. wapo.st/3MJTwqr

That was lwk my pc like 10 years ago when I was gaming on my bum pc beside my grandmas pots 😭

Early start to storm chasing season :O #ONStorm

Crews are continuing to move piles of snow off the apron. Here's a look at what 10 minutes looks like on the apron of Terminal 1.
