Do you enjoy everyone else's misery or something?
Hmm, given it's only 5 degrees forecast on Thursday, we might not last 2 weeks!

As Howard Cosell always said, I just tell it like it is.
On the other hand, I couldn't stand Howard Cosell.

Our first wind storm of the season tomorrow.... 40 gusting to 60. So a tame one to start the autumn storm season, but a windy day none-the-less.

Just ten minutes ago a huge gust of wind snapped a massive tree branch down the street from me around the Pape/Danforth area. The wind came out of absolutely no where.

Nuit Blanche Forecast
9C is forecast for tonight with winds diminishing into the evening to around 15km. That's a pretty good temperature for taking in Nuit Blanche but take your umbrellas, there's a possibility of isolated showers tonight.

Environment Canada called for at or above normal autumn temperatures as I recall. Why do they even bother?

We're not even a month into fall yet. You can have 2 months of below normal, and 1 month of above normal and still end up near normal temps. We will have to see how it plays out and come back at the end of December to see what we ended up with.
Our normal overnight low around this time is 5. Daytime high around 13. The past week has been cool, but before that it was normal.

Anyone want to make a prediction for our first snowfall? Let's say an amount recorded of at least 5 cm recorded at Pearson.
Let's see who can get closest!
I'm gonna guess Dec. 15th.

It's not an official snowfall but I saw snow for the first time on Thursday. It lasted less than ten minutes, followed by a few minutes of snow pellets and then about half an hour of rain.
