What a Storm!

What a storm indeed.
It was late starting up... but it didn't disappoint... especially this morning with the Heavy Snow. Now, the system, for the most part has kicked out to the East... but we'll still see some lingering flurries and BLOWING SNOW this afternoon.
Here are some Snowfall totals from Environment Canada.

-----------------------------------
No totals for Peterborough, however I measured 15 cm here at the station this morning.

NOW, I'm keeping an eye on a couple more systems for the next few days.
1. An Alberta Clipper moving in late tomorrow which could drop 1-5 cm's.
2. A system rolling up the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. As of now, the system would roll in Friday night and not kick out until Sunday morning. In that time we could see 5-10... maybe even 15 cm.

I'm very sorry.

Ryan,

Don't be sorry. It is not what you forcast that you will be judged on, but rather the accuracy of your forcast. Keep smiling.
