#ONStorm #ONwx ❄️ SNOWSTORM CLARIFICATION - 3 PM ❄️ “WHERE IS THE STORM?! It’s barely snowing!” - Someone who clearly didn’t read our forecast 😉 We’ve been seeing quite a bit of confusion surrounding this snowstorm, so we thought it would be a good idea to clear a few things up. Many outside of the Golden Horseshoe are scratching their heads thinking the storm missed them. To clarify, this was never expected to be a rapidly accumulating snowfall event outside of the Greater Toronto Area. Steady snowfall began this morning or early this afternoon in many locations and is only now starting to ramp up in intensity. Snow will continue for many more hours, not tapering off until this evening, and in some cases lingering into tomorrow morning for parts of Eastern Ontario. We still have lots of time for snow to accumulate. That said, in most areas the hourly snowfall rates are not expected to be particularly intense, even at the peak of the event. Expect roughly 1-2cm per hour outside of the lake enhancement zone. That is very manageable, especially for those in the snowbelt who are used to seeing rates of 5-10cm per hour in stronger squalls. Based on the latest model data, this storm is far from finished. Many areas still have 10-25cm of snow yet to fall, with the highest remaining totals expected across Eastern Ontario. Southwestern Ontario still has around 5-15cm left, with snow gradually tapering off by mid evening. When you factor in the lake enhancement west of Lake Ontario, particularly focused on the Toronto area, there is still the potential for ANOTHER 30cm of snow in localized spots. That is why Environment Canada updated their warning to mention that locally over 50cm is possible, with 20-30cm already on the ground in some areas and another 30cm or more still to come. The “major” aspect of this storm really only applies to a small portion of the Greater Toronto Area. It is quite possible parts of the GTA could be paralyzed for much of the week with this amount of snow and very limited places to put it. Elsewhere, this is a fairly typical moderate snowstorm that we see many times each winter. We hope this helps clarify what is happening and what to expect going forward. As always, we encourage you to read our detailed forecasts. We were very clear that this would be a highly localized event, which is not always obvious when looking at a snowfall map alone since every storm behaves differently. - Brennen
