The latest short-range models seem iffy on totals. But so far, many regions have gotten more than forecasted. It seems to be stronger and further NW than expected. Also temperatures have remained colder than what EC had anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoaster Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I don't know what to expect tonight. I can't imagine totals will be as good as from the band earlier today. I'm at 4.5" here at home... it would be nice to hit 8" but I'm not sure how likely that will be... when is the good stuff pegged to start? Really windy and good SN here but doesn't seem to be accumulating more than 0.5" per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to see that gradient type look setting up again with lake shore communities including hamilton and downtown seeing another 10-20cm. Areas near and north of the 401 will probably see an additional 6-15cm IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice 4-6" IMO is possible but for regions south of King City. Lets hope we can cash in. Thus far it has over exceeded expectations...temperatures are colder too so ratios should be high.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Bit of a lull between the demise of the LES and the start of the synoptic is over. Rates should continue to pick up over the next several hours, peaking later this evening before diminishing after midnight. I think most locales can add another 2-4/3-5 to whatever they've got and that's your storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 3.5" was the final tally. 9.7" for the seasonal total. MKX ended up busting big time on the LES advisories.
