Knee deep #snow and a dog plowing his way through! #ONstorm #weather #snowTO #wx #snowstorm

7pm measurement at downtown Toronto: 44 cm storm total. Also measured a snow-meltwater ratio of 30:1 (!). Heavy snow, poor visibility and strong winds continue under the persistent LE band.

#Toronto Pearson Airport #CYYZ #YYZ is reporting 54 cm of snowfall as of 7PM. According to the data, 26cm of snow fell in ONE HOUR!!! If correct, this is both an ALL TIME snowfall record for Pearson AND record for most accumulation in one hour for any GTA airport station #ONstorm #onwx #TOsnow

Just some photos I took wandering around today in the south end of #Toronto #ONstorm #wx #weather #snow #storm

I can't stress this enough - people in the suburbs who might be thinking "what storm" should definitely not venture into Toronto. Here is the 404 @ 19th (Markham) and 400 @ Teston (Vaughan) vs Gardiner @ South Kingsway and DVP at Leaside Bridge #ONstorm #weather #snowstorm #Toronto #GTA #wx

Our dog is loving the #snow in #Toronto #ONstorm #weather #wx

Just because there is lighter snow into the #GTA suburbs does not mean it is lighter deeper into Toronto. In fact, it's the opposite. Worst snows are further south. Please don't drive into Toronto... #ONstorm #onwx #weather

I'm down by Lake Ontario and it is not kidding down here, we have significant snowfall rates of probably of 7cm-10cm/hr or higher, and as far as lake effect snow is concerned, this is top tier stuff with the very high liquid to snow ratios & seeder feeder effect. #ONstorm #weather #GTA #snowstorm

As the big winter storm approaches, the shifting winds have seen this lake effect band push south, stall out and then move back northwards. You'll also not several small meso-vortices develop within the band. #ONstorm #weather #wx #snowstorm

Thank God… After seeing who was on the Board of Peace, this is a blessing.

Some models are painting some serious seeder-feeder lake effect snows into the GTA. #ONstorm #weather #wx

Absolutely unreal.

The cold front sure blew in hard yesterday afternoon. It was dry as it cut through the GTA with a barely visible shelf cloud. Still, not bad for January! A little more moisture and heat would have resulted in some t-storms. #ONstorm

Nothing beats a snowy trek through Silver Creek. ❄️ Guided by the best hiking partner, Biscuit, we took on a wintery Bruce Trail. #BruceTrail #HikingOntario #WinterHiking #SilverCreek youtu.be/QNXfneb0s0E?...

Watching the #WorldJuniors and Mike Johnson (commentator /analyst giving play by play) just said "that was a good hard shit" instead of shift 😂😂😆

Lightning being detected with the snow and squalls near Lake Huron. #ONstorm

Here's a video showing the radar estimated p-type, reflectivity, correlation-coefficient and Bufkit WRF-NAM skew-t for CYYZ as well ad the observed 12Z soundings for KBUF and KDTX. Radar Omega and Radar Scope use two different methods for their radar p-type product.

The NSF has a short post on how it plans to take apart NCAR. (No, that is not a sentence I ever foresaw typing.) www.nsf.gov/news/intent-...

Hurricane Melissa looks like a solid 150 kt storm, the hunters ended their mission early and have reported severe turbulence likely from meso vorts within the storm. #HurricaneMelissa #Melissa is an extremely dangerous #Category5 storm #AtlanticHurricaneSeason #TropicalCyclone

Nice evening kayak on the Humber River near Lake Ontario yesterday. The fall colours are really starting to come into the Toronto area now. #Kayaking #Beagle #BiscuitTheBeagle #HumberRiver #FallColors #Toronto #DogsofBluesky #RiverAdventures #Paddling #Autumn

Some very warm weather in Eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec with temps into the mid 20s. The edge of the unsettled weather is now nosing into the GTA with a squall riding the leading edge of the cold front. High winds and local isolated damage possible #ONstorm

Small area of weak rotation up at the northern end of Georgian Bay, with a 'broken-S' signature showing up on Britt (CASBI) radar. #ONstorm

Happy #Thanksgiving! Enjoying the #Woodbridge #Fair today 😀

Frost risk for #Toronto proper and much of the #GTA again tonight. I’ve temporarily stuffed all the overwintering plants into the greenhouse. I’ll have to organize it in the coming days when I have some time. They should be able to go back outside tomorrow. #ONweather #weather #frost #greenhouse

Just a quick video from yesterday on the Credit River... woooosh! #CreditRiver #Kayaking #PaddleLife #RiverAdventures #Ontario #OutdoorAdventure #Paddling #ExploreOntario #Beagle #BiscuitTheBeagle #DogsofInstagram #BeagleLife #AdventureDog #DogOnBoard #PaddlerDog

Had a fantastic 6-hour outing in Algonquin Park on Monday with my dog before the fall colours disappear. We explored two islands and five connected bodies of water. We cheated on lunch and brought McDonald's (the dog got his own fries!). 🍟 #kayak #fall #weather #beagle youtu.be/DT7iCx4BKYU?...

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all but... hear me out. Last time there was a shooting, Trump surged in the polls. The Epstein thing is still going, and he's underwater, this Charlie Kirk thing is definitely going to pull the spotlight away.. Oh and the shot was not close range... 🤷

He is dead.

There are now 20+ Russian cruise missiles in Ukraine airspace. Heading across the country at the moment.

Multiple platforms now report at least 7 known incursions of drones into Polish airspace and possibly several others into Moldovan airspace. Numerous NATO jets up in the air including AWACS and supporting (refueling) aircraft. Unconfirmed reports drones have been engaged by fighter aircraft over Pol

Here are some photos I took of the #Toronto #CNE #Airshow #CIAS showing Mike and Samantha Tryggvason doing their Wingwalker thing. This was my favourite part of the show today. Photos are with a Canon 5DSr and 800mm lens. 📷 🔭

These kids were really into jumping off the rail bridge in Port Credit. What can I say, I'll never forgo a good show while kayaking.

All that rain did wonders yesterday. This is from Environment Canada: #ONstorm #ONwx

Here’s a first-of-its-kind vertical cross-section analysis of the eyewall of Category 5 Hurricane Erin, captured by AgileRadar’s ROARS radar system installed on NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters P-3 aircraft.

Rain two days in a row is godsend… #ONstorm

Not weather related (well technically nice weather)... Kayaking on the Credit River near Port Credit. Beautiful time of year to enjoy the water. youtu.be/MdumkOC-ZAE?... #kayaking #mississauga #ontario #canada

A few images from different social media platforms of the tornado near Goderich earlier this evening associated with a supercell as it came ashore. #ONstorm #ONwx

Milton storm is all but dead... just rainy mush at this point. Still plenty of time for some hidden surprises but the overall risk is relatively low. #ONstorm #ONWX

Hard to tell based on radar alone but the supercell between Bayfield and Goderich is certainly struggling now, rotation still present but radar shows a diminished (for the moment) threat. #ONstorm #ONWX

Rotation on the Bayfield storm waning, but the Milton storm looking more tight. Might have to go for a drive shortly. At dinner with the wife at Beertown... LOL #ONstorm #ONWX

Another storm to keep an eye on that could potentially start wrapping up nd tightening is just north of Milton. No risk attm, but needs to be observed. #ONstorm #ONWX

Now that's a solid tornado vortex signature if I've ever seen one out over Lake Huron. Like I said, warm front doing all the heavy lifting as far as wind shear is concerned. #ONstorm #ONWX

The 12Z WRF-NAM is painting a supercell on the warm front tomorrow afternoon running from Flint Michigan into Chatham-Kent Ontario. What's more important is to understand that the environment along the warm front features good shear and winds veering to the ESE + jet support #ONstorm #ONWX

I was debating heading to SW Ontario yesterday. I decided against it due to overall timing. Had a weak shelf in the GTA but zero severe weather.

Saw a few interesting things chasing the storms tonight in SW ON. But this is one I can't explain - never seen anything like it before. Photo has been processed to better show the feature of interest here. Happened so fast I couldn't tell if it was actually rotating. Was on leading edge. #ONstorm

Tornado warnings ahead of the storm complex making landfall near Britt, ON. The rotation does not show up well in the base velocity product but shows up well in the storm relative velocity product. #ONstorm #ONwx

Risk of rain-wrapped fast moving tornadoes in cottage country today (and Algonquin Park), high winds and flooding rain in other areas. The biggest risk today appears to be wind damage. Those out camping need to stay especially weather aware. #ONstorm #ONwx

Spending a few days up in Muskoka on Brandy Lake courtesy of my wife's sister and her husband whose family just purchased a new cottage. Beautiful day today but the haze from the fires is very visible vs yesterday #ONstorm #ONwx
