15z SREF individual and mean total QPF for MI and ON folks.

Clinging to the edge of that 125 line. Not really expecting anything close to those kind of amounts but a man can dream. Looks like the north shore of Lake Ontario (Oshawa, Belleville, Kingston) is going to be the place to be in Ontario at least. 

 

See you later, Boston. It was nice knowing you.

This is like the 4th storm this year where the NAM has given false hope inside 24 hours...i'll never learn.

 

It have me a lot of false hope in GHD. I learned then. Funny thing is, you used to be able to rely on its thermals...but now it seems it's cool biased in the near term.

Haha not sure why I have any optimism on this one. We can bump my calls tomorrow when I fail miserably.

NAM has been scary bad this winter. GFS has been the best loser for the past few impulses.

 

GFS typical gets more solutions right compared to the NAM. It nailed down the first two clipper pretty well, I'd say.

lol @ EC not even going with a watch. I know the brunt of the storm now looks like Friday morning, but geez. You're not going to get much higher probability for a 3rd-4th period event.

With the way the Boxing Day storm went, EC might wait until there is 6" of snow on the ground already before making a statement. I hope I'm proven wrong but they always seem to be way too bullish or not reactive enough.

They still have 10-15cm "is possible" in the SWS. I think its safe to say that 20-30cm "is possible" at this point. Heaviest rates hit right during the Friday morning commute. People need to plan... its going to be a mess on the roads
