Dueling Forecasts: Update

I posted yesterday about the apparently consistent divergences in weather forecasts between Environment Canada and The Weather Network. It turns out that taking an average would have been just about right. Because of the drifting, it is hard to tell for sure, but it looks as if we had between 20 and 25 cms of snow in that 24-hour period.

For the metric-ly challenged, to convert anything in metric to non-metric, double it and add 30. E.g., 10 degrees C (stands for Canadian) is the same as 50 degrees F (stands for Foreign). Double the 10 and add 30. Works the same for weight, distance, and speed.
