It's not going to last. We're finally forcast for some snow. It's a big storm headed for the Eastern Seaboard of the US but we might get a glancing, sideways blow. We've had a number of nearly green winters over the last few decades.
Canada Failing to Put Climate Change Plans in Action

Cwe got our first dusting of snow, last night that has stuck around for a whole day.
... not enough to cover up the blades of grass, though.

Yeah, there is some green on the lawn under all the snow.
I'm GREEN thumbing posts just because they contain facts...what have we come too?
I'm not going to post the stats for the GTA again just because CC can't compute anything but soros supplied talking points...on any subject. After shoveling at the homeless shelter, I am going to skip doing my own driveway till after the damn snowplow makes me to it, so I don't have to do it again just after.

I still can see the blades of grass sticking up above our massive 3 cm snow fall down here on the shore of a different Great Lake. Not for long, probably but winters are measurably milder here, now.Yeah, there is some green on the lawn under all the snow.

You need to have lake Ontario frozen to get rid of lake effect..
Funny that the year the army was needed in Toronto to clear the snow, we had a fairly nice winter up north
That's Canadian weather for ya!

I've only seen Lake Ontario freeze once since I moved here 35 years ago and yet, the museums are full of old photos of shinny matches and ice boat races off of Toronto's beaches.
The place is warming up.
P.S. I come from Quebec and know what real winter is. My daughter was a newborn when that famous "call out the army" snowfall happened and we have a picture of me holding her in my arms in front of the snowbank running across our yard that was a foot over my 6'-4" head. Yes, Lastman over-reacted and made a fool of himself but that was a real, honest-to-goodhess snowfall of Canadian proportions.
POOR STUPID and not so Curious Cdn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The year the army was called out for Toronto WAS an average year for snowfall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It just ALL CAME AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a 10 day period Toronto suddenly had so much snow there was NO PLACE TO PILE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And could not truck it away fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roads were often blocked by stranded cars so plows could not get through- nor fire trucks or ambulances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was that which scared Toronto- that there could be a major emergency and NO aid could arrive on blocked side streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many Toronto houses in the down town core no longer have usable drive ways so on street parking is the norm in many places in the city core!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the suburbs where there are multi car families -on street parking is again becoming common now- especially for families with teens who have cars of their own or for people renting basement apartments..................................
Toronto usually counts on snow melting fairly quickly - the weather cycle produces relatively warm and then snow and then cold- and then cycles back towards warm again- with snow melting fairly rapidly during the warm cycle did not happen this time around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it set up a vicious cycle- roads blocked by snow- with no place to push it and thus roads are blocked by parked cars - meaning that two lanes suddenly SHRINK to ONE lane- often without room enough to let a snow plow work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the event exposed the flawed thinking of condo developers who had failed to allow open sufficient open spaces like lawns where snow could be dumped in an emergency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a unique and unusual event that paralyzed city services!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Based on your 100's of post to somebody you claim to hate it is you that seems to be having with 'issues' with 'letting go'. When you try to teach somebody who cannot be taught (your words) that also points to you having some 'issues'. (to the point you wish i was murdered, btw did you lose the address?)
The open water provides the needed moisture for those huge dumps of snow. I wonder how the east coast of the US would do if the Atlantic did the same as the lake did, 20ft at once??
The best blizzards and snows hit at the start of tornado season in the US. Feb-April is when snow hits hardest here.
a couple of years later I was out with fifth wheel camping in April
It's Canada....weather is always changing!
Yep and only the believers think they can control/change it or the climate, one can try to predict, no one can guarantee the result, not even the alarmists.
But we can buy papal dispensation in the form of carbon credits , so all is good .
