Ernesto Brings decent accumulations, period of quiet follows

all in all, Ernesto wasn't that disappointing at all. The initial band of snow brought quite a bit of snow to Southern Ontario

A coastal low is set to bring heavy rain and some snow to Northeast US, this wont have any effect on our area. Looks like the heavy populated area in the metropolitan is gonna get robbed of snow yet again thanks to the usual shift to Northwest on the models

Looking ahead. Cold temperatures along with sunny skies should accompany Southern Ontario for the next several days. It will warm up above the freezing mark yet again at the end of the week. A storm is possible early next week, right now it looks like to be mostly rain with some snow at the backside.

I'll have more details on the long range, the likelihood of a white Christmas and the medium range weather pattern tomorrow.
