December Weather, 2017

“Climate is what you expect, and weather is what you get.”  –NBC Miami meteorologist John Morales.


Dec. 24th – a snow warning! 8 cm...  snow cover of 33 cm

So, for those dreaming of a white Christmas, you will get your wish. A Texan low is gathering strength this morning and will race towards us approaching the speed of Rudolph later today. It will transport snow into Southern Ontario beginning this afternoon. As the low pressure centre dashes just south of the lower Great Lakes tonight, snow will intensify across Southern Ontario this evening. Somewhat heavier snow is likely in some areas, especially in the Greater Toronto Area where a snowfall warning is in effect. Visibility may be limited likely making travel challenging. Snowfall totals of 5 to 10 centimetres are expected by the time it tapers off overnight or on Christmas Day in Eastern Ontario. Travelers are encouraged to adjust their plans if possible.

Dec. 23 – lots of snow: 7.5cm, melted = 10.5mm



Even Ian Black didn't know what was to come! Freezing rain to the south. We missed that.

Dec. 22 – durn cold, a nice snow cover of about 16cm

Dec. 19 – temperatures have risen to +5 C.

Dec. 18 – more snow 3.5 cm

I've been melting the snow, to figure out how much actual water there is. Some snow is fluffier than other snowfalls!


Dec. 15 – 4cm snow

Dec. 13 – the sun is rising, though.


Dec. 12 – snow day!

We've gone from a sunny day, to a snow day. 


Mon., Dec 11

Dec. 9 – 1 cm snow

Dec. 7 – Muskoka is still getting Lake Effect Snow

The lakes are still pretty warm, hence the winds pick up moisture. It's about the surface water temperatures.


Dec. 6 – Lake Effect Snow, big winds, power outages

That's my Bala!!!



Dec. 5th – wet day, with way too warm temperatures!


 

Dec. 4th – It is freezing rain, and snow, up north
