Here's our preliminary snowfall forecast for Friday thru Christmas. Also, clarification on previous tweet. There was a semi-colon between the 5-10+cm forecast for the GTA & 30-60+cm for snowbelt areas. The GTA is NOT the snowbelt & won't see 30-60cm! Sorry for the confusion

Early spring vs 6 more weeks of winter - aren't those 2 options saying the same thing?? 6 weeks takes us to March 15; If consistent spring weather starts mid-March isn't that an early spring in Canada? It's when we get 8, 10 & even 12 more weeks (like last year) that we get upset

If you noticed it was a hazy this morning you are correct. Smoke from the fires across the western U.S. is spreading east and is now over most of #ONwx .

Saturday will be the calm after the storm across the GTA - a spectacular spring day w/ light wind, sunshine, lower humidity & highs in the lower 20s; Some sun & mild Sunday morning, then becoming cloudy with afternoon showers & falling temperatures; Sunny & cool early next week

Skeptical at this point that we see anything more than scattered flurries off Lake Ontario during the day - too much dry air to overcome despite cold east wind off the lake. Better moisture arrives tonight - by that time the wind direction should keep the band south of Toronto

Closely watching Friday-Sat. for a major winter storm in vicinity of Southern Ont. Uncertain about exact storm track & placement of arctic boundary; All options still on the table - from mostly rain to substantial ice &/or heavy snow, or we just get clipped by edge; Stay tuned!

Looks like we have a slight shift north in storm track, so most of Golden Horseshoe should see snow totals near high end of 4cast ranges; Apologies, I won't be able to keep up w/ requests for localized totals today so be sure to check our app & website for your local numbers :)

You are free to disagree, but temperatures of -15C to -18C have never felt as good as they do this morning in the GTA! This time yesterday the wind chill was in the -30s. With nearly calm conditions this morning it feels roughly 15 degrees "warmer" than yesterday.
