I have decided to keep track of our snowfall. We live in a region with isolated Lake Effect snow squalls; Bracebridge, Port Carling and Gravenhurst could all have different amounts of snow. This is true, too, of all kinds of precipitation year-round. While the official 'Muskoka' equipment is located near Bracebridge's highway #118, at the airport, this amount doesn't reflect actuals in other parts of Muskoka. We could see this from that big storm in Dec., 2009, when snowfall ranged widely, depending upon locations. (Dec. 10/11, 2009 = 60 cm fell here!)
Western Lake Ontario- Regional Summary
Not much data for January.
A rather terrific interactive map, but no snow totals, local data taken at the Muskoka Airport
The Weather Network keeps Historical Muskoka Data from a 30-year average, but I am interested in real data! Most places I have looked keep track of 'seasonal average' snowfall. Not totals.

You can check out Road Conditions here across the province. That is not a bad idea.
I have found that another Muskoka blogger, Gord has decided, for the sake of his resort
customers, to post his own information about Muskoka weather. He runs a great site, and has done us all a service. 
The Accu-Window-Weather site (click on logo - right) has links to various webcams across the province. The map (left) shows the numerous webcams local business owners have put up on Gord's site. A fabulous site. View the Port Carling webcam, for example, or Parry Sound, or Huntsville. Southern Ontario Severe Storms Page
Jan. 31, 2010By the afternoon, 25 cm and counting. Everyone is out shovelling!
Snowfall Jan. 28, 2010:
17 cm on the deck. I had a phone call from Bracebridge, and they had sunny skies one day, while Port Carling had snow falling merrily, with winds causing the snow to dance across lake ice.
Lots of snow, and snow squalls. But with temperatures of -30, the warm-up to -20 is quite welcome!
For the most part, January consisted of 5 - 10 cm of snow almost every day. We 36", about 3' remaining from the December snowfall, and a nice powdery snow on top of some ice. There is a solid base.
