Oh my goodness, look at the wind in Toronto at the same time as the snow. Again for the Americans, that's a wind gust of 77 mph. If these winds were sustained they would be hurricane force...

Nuts! Shoulda added them. Lol. 38cm would be Torontos snowiest January day. Wow!!!
I ended up with 4.1 inches with a liquid equivalent of 0.66. Sleet mixing in during the afternoon really killed the snowfall totals.
Was that liquid including the sleet? If not thats 6:1 ratios. Yuck. Heavy watery snow. I assume its included so maybe your snow started as 9:1 then lowered
Not sure what the best way to get an accurate measurement, but our yard is pretty sheltered so we don't really have snow drifts, and I'd say there's well over a foot everywhere at this point. Maybe 16-20 inches on average?
I tried driving around - this is the most snow I've ever tried driving in, and probably the biggest snow fall since 1999, so a good test for my Subaru forester with winter tires. I was basically plowing snow with my bumper down my driveway, street, and the next street before a bigger road. I was driving down the main commercial street through my part of town (Speers Road in Oakville, ON) and there was a tractor trailer stuck on the slope on an underpass, city busses that had to reverse down a slope because they also got stuck, and a bunch of delivery trucks that got stuck on the edge of the road trying to get into the unplowed driveways of shopping plazas.
It feels like we got more snow in the last 18 hours than we did in the entirety of winter 2020-2021.

Interestingly, it's not that windy in my area of the GTA. I've been outside since about 8:30am and the wind is probably just like 10 km/h. It's not enough to really add a significant wind chill, it's really quite pleasant outside (for snow lovers).

That's 22cm since midnight. It started snowing around 7-8pm in my area at least (about 20-30 miles south of the airport).

Yes, that includes the sleet.
The first inch of snow was probably 1:15 ratios or more. Very dry. Then we got the sleet. The last 2 inches of snow was probably 1:10 ratios.
I measured 18 inches (all from the last 24 hours) at this point in my backyard. I measured the height of my snow boots to be 15 inches, and I had snow coming just over the top of them pretty much all the time when I went for a walk, so I'd say around 16 inches average snow depth in my neighbourhood.
5.5-6 inches in Cumberland, MD. Sleet/Freezing rain and then the dry slot limited our totals even though our temps never went above freezing at ground level. We had 4 inches by 7pm and I felt we might overachieve the forecast, then the ice/break in precip., then another 1.5 inches or so of wrap around snow late last night. Silly me, Cumberland city limits (low valley in a rain shadow) always underperforms the forecast for our area in general.
Really windy today. Very pretty still, but the ice layer made for a heavy sandwich to shovel and sweep away.
