skidooer Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 TWN says 15-20cms. We should place our bets on at what time they start backing off their numbers like they always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatboyC Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 How about AW. They are saying 15-25cm for Friday during the day and another 5-10cm at night for Ottawa. Crazy folks. So far I'm sticking with EC with 20cm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
