Around 13 cm.

Wish it wouldn't melt so we can enjoy it tomorrow. It sucks because it's going to freeze tomorrow night so would be great to keep the snow around till then. Unfortunately probably not tho.

Good work :thumbup:

Models:

ECMWF had the best handle it seems. ICON was pretty good as well with the transitioning happening sooner.
GEM overdoes moisture but was good with temps.
GFS is a piece of crap that seems to think we are at 2000ft ASL.

A bust from the forecast models with many locations less than 50% of forecast. The GFS and GEM precip models are almost always useless.
It was a disappointment to me. It basically snowed at a time to make miserable evening commutes from work, and then turned to rain when we’d like to go out and enjoy it. Doesn’t even last one evening.

About 13 cm. A little on the light side but not going to complain, one of the snowiest November days here in recent memory.

Snow is now very wet. We're definitely at the point where it's snowing but the hourly snowfall rate is negative :lol:

15cm and still snowing, but lighter than earlier. If it lasted all night might double up but no idea at this point. We are in a dead spot for wind which helps.

So, once again, it's a bust here. It was the last time I get excited by those fake snow maps showing widespread 20-30 cm.
