In the end we got 16.5 cm of snow at the UW weather station in total over the two days of the Groundhog Day storm. Not quite as much as forecasted as it seemed that most of the heavy snow went to the south hitting the Hamilton region.
As forecasted the storm also lost a lot of its power after hitting Chicago and didn't produce the snow amounts here as it did there.

Typical.
There were higher amounts of snow as well to our north too .. with 20-30 cm typical Mount Forest and northward. Once of the Canadian computer models, and a high resolution American model correctly hinted at a snow total minimum in an area extending from KW east to Toronto.
The forcast missed the mark on the GH day storm and they missed it on Saturday. Forcast said 2 - 4 cm this morning. Its stopped now and I have about 6.5 inches on my driveway. Shovelling we go!
I measured a nice 16 cm of snow, which fell between about 4.15 PM and 7.45 PM today (Saturday). EC did put out a short-fuse snowfall warning for this, which was not particularly well handled by the computer models. When I was at work a couple days prior, guidance for here was suggesting "chance of light snow"!
In regards to the dry slot from the groundhog day storm, I thought London and south was expected to receive the most, and they also seemed to receive only a few cm, like this area.
I just thought it was funny that there was SO much lead up to the groundhog day storm (TWN started last Saturday about how huge it was going to be); yet there was nothing about this. I think we might have received more during yesterday's storm than from the one earlier in the week! Certainly it came down faster than the one from earlier in the week. :)
