Forecast – for Dec. 16, 2010

By
This forecast period starts off a little tricky as the models are forecasting an area of low pressure to our west with a ridge of high pressure persisting to our east. The question is how far east the western low will be able to push and just where any snow will fall. Currently it looks

Big Snows Hit Ontario

By
Every so often a set of atmospheric conditions comes together to create some really remarkable weather. This is what happened last week in Ontario when cold northwesterly winds combined with the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes to produce some remarkable snowfalls. Whenever there is cold air and warm water, you can get what

December To Follow November’s Pattern?

By
Before we dive into our monthly look back at the weather, I think I need to clear up a misunderstanding from the “probability of snow” article from a couple of weeks ago. A fair number of people have emailed me asking if there is such a low probability of getting more than 10 cm of

Drought has affected winter wheat crops in 17 per cent of China’s wheat-growing areas in the country’s northern bread basket, and dry weather is forecast to extend until spring next year, the government said.

By
Acouple of articles ago I wrote about when we should normally expect winter to start, and I added a little bit of information about the probability of receiving different amounts of snow in a single day. Well, it seems my snowfall probability comments have prompted a fair bit of discussion, as I have received a

Forecast – for Nov. 18, 2010

As we slowly move into winter it looks less and less like we will see a dramatic switch to full winter conditions.
