[IRCA] off-topic snowfall (was Robert Ross DX)

[Saul DX <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Forcasters almost uniformly called for 25-30 cm snow here. The Weather 
Network now reports "Widespread total snowfall amounts of 15 to 20 
centimetres are likely by the time the storm ends by this evening."

We'll only know for sure after this is over. But if the forecasts overstated 
the amount of snow for at least much of southern Ontario, I think the effect 
on driving and such has probably (judging from looking outside and listening 
to the news) been the same as it would be with the additional 10 cm...

I'm only sorry I had to leave Burnt River site last night. With reports of 
WBBM being on what would seem like reduced power, that would / might have 
been fun...

Hope everyone is safe - it seems we've gotten off easy here in Ontario; I 
know folks elsewhere have had a rough time.
