Word of the day: Graupel (soft hail)-consists of small, white opaque round/conical pellets (2–5 mm) formed when SC water droplets freeze onto falling snow crystals. They feel soft or mushy and they kinda look like the Apollo CM-shape wise...😅 #onwx #onstorm
Where the risk of seeing some Graupel today. Once you are in the green/yellow/red colours blobs, chances are good. #onwx #onstorm

Winter 2025-26 review (DJF)-a more “traditional winter” marked by more frequent, intense, and prolonged cold spells than in recent years. Earlier snowfalls, and colder all linked to La Niña, stratospheric warming events, and an active storm track. (source ECCC/MSC) #onwx #onstorm

Latest HRRR shows a tight circulation Clipper type systems moving in Mon. aft./eve, colder air aloft/steep lapse rate & strong diurnal heating, will kick up snow/rain showers, these convective showers in an unstable atmosphere may also generate graupel in the mix #onwx #onstorm

Get the winter gear back out. Just when you thought spring had sprung in Ontario, winter makes a comeback. A bit of a shock to the system after Friday's mid-20 warmth. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
Don't put away the winter gear, yet. Southern Ontario is facing an abrupt return to winter weather with plunging temperatures, incoming snow and strong wind gusts--impacting early-week commutes. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

I also pulled out the lightning trigger that I left a fresh Alkaline 9V in only to discover it was dead during the storms last Tuesday. So here I am with some rechargeable 9V batts and no lightning but "stormy wx" approaching. The odds were never good for 🌩️ today. #ONwx #ONstorm
You know, if it wasn't 7 degrees outside, and this was a little taller, it would actually probably technically be a LP supercell... not bad for a walk with the dog.
