And only 2-4" tomorrow night (1" by the lakeshore). All models are showing 2 or 3 times the amount that Environment Canada is forecasting for tomorrow night into Wednesday morning.

I really have no idea why the weather outlet are still saying rain for the lakeshore. Models continue to trend south with the storm.

I can understand caution and shying away from the huge amounts with marginal temps, but with the amount of model agreement, it seems like a soggy half a foot for most of the west end of Lake Ontario and Niagara escarpment is more than a 50% possibility. They must have in house models that are warmer but look how bad they busted today. 5c was the high. We're stuck at 1.5c. Snowcover does wonders.

This added snow cover on the ground may help keep temperatures marginally cooler at the surface around the storm time in my opinion. Thats a good 3.5C off what EC had predicted. 

 

I still have a decent snow pack, averaging around 4" or so.
