December rain, snow, sleet and hail!

Dec. 31 Out like a snow storm!

They warned us of 10 - 15 cm, but it was only 3 or so!

Dec. 30 Just a skiff

I think it a shame when journalists become weather forecasters. As if weather is coming to punish us! This is no better than the battle imagery for those managing cancer. It just is. Deal with it. Prepare for it. Learn about it.

Dec. 29 - anticipation! 


Dec. 28 – 3 cm snow overnight

I gathered some snow in the rain gauge, and it's amazing the 3cm of snow translates to 0.08 mm of water. The point is, that we are getting regular precipitation, and I had to add cells in the chart below. We are in a moderate drought, now.

Dec. 27 – ice pellets, then rain (17 mm)

Toronto was a mess with a flash freeze.


Yes, our snow cover is greatly diminished, and what a lot of rain.
My birthday plans were cancelled, and the were vehicle incidents all over. What a surprise to have RAIN. 

Dec. 26th – predicting freezing rain, but it's -10 C. out there!


Ice pellets... 9:00 a.m.



Dec. 25 – horrid-looking warnings!


Dec. 24th – lovely snowfall: 4 cm


Dec. 22 – gentle snowfall 8cm


Dec. 18th – Tis a mess out there!


Dec. 17th Prediction


Ontario is a mess!

Dec. 16th – a warning

Snow Saturday possibly changing to freezing rain Saturday night. A Colorado low is expected to bring a large shield of snow with it, with snow arriving Friday night then continuing into Saturday. Such weather systems typically bring 15 or more centimetres of snow with them, and this one appears to be no exception. However as the low pressure area gets closer, there is potential for the snow to change over to freezing rain and ice pellets for at least a few hours Saturday night.

The freezing precipitation will then change back to snow in the wake of the low on Sunday. There remains some uncertainty to the exact track of this low. A small change in the track will affect the location of the heaviest snow, and whether or not the snow changes over to freezing rain. Deteriorating winter travel conditions are expected after the snow arrives Friday night.

Then there is the long john index!

Dec. 15th – It's a cold one

Central and south Ontario has been hard hit. Muskoka's school busses were cancelled. December is a bad month in Muskoka, that Lake Effect Snow! The roads are all iffy!



My friend, in Huntsville, had 79.5cm!
Just a skiff of snow!

Dec. 13th – a warning!



Dec. 12th – 13.75 cm our total!
big storm!

Dec. 11th – a snow accumulation warning

It's a pretty blue on the radar, rolling in!


Dec. 10th – Snow on the way? Lake Effect Snow

Dec. 9th -Holy Hannah! Where are your longjohns?

Colin McIntyre does the longjohn index. What a card!
Still much lake effect snow, with the winds blowing across the Great Lakes.

Dec. 6th - how much snow?

December weather

Dec. 30

The total rain was 57.4 mm. Snow: 18cm. Dec. 31st was sort of drizzly rain, and hard to judge. I can't get to the rain gauge until I do some more snow shoveling. I'd put it away as I had anticipated snow.

Dec. 29

What a mess! Snow, ice pellets and everything. It's -10 C. Checked the highway conditions map.

JB tells me there was thunder and lightning at 4 a.m., and Annie growled at it, as she does!

Dec. 27

Texas tornadoes, again... this time, 11 are dead.
Texas has been hard-hit


For those travelling the 401 east of Kingston: detour to Prescott.



Detour in place for eastbound Highway 401 at Maitland
Eastbound traffic on Highway 401 is being rerouted at Maitland late Sunday morning.

That was some weather! Freezing rain, and about a half inch of rain, on top of the freezing rain. The trees tip over until the ice melts. More disasters in the US, with tornadoes.



Dec. 26th



Christmas Eve

This is highly unusual. We can expect normal fluctuations, as Nancy's grandfather wrote! " In 1926 Joseph wrote in his diary, on JANUARY 16, that he went golfing"

Hydro outages across Ontario.

What a mess out there! Our satellite went out, but not our power. We had 15.24 mm (0.6") of rain.

Dec. 13th another freezing rain warning 

- then they cancelled that. They expected the freezing rain in Central Ontario.
Another tick on Dorah. This is unusual, as they are usually covered in snow.

Dec. 1st - began with a  freezing rain warning
