Us in Richmond ? Definitely around 2. I'm concerned about the dense cold air. We might see freezing rain. The negative 8 at yvr will change will quick.

It’s been ice pellets here for the past 10 minutes now.

Only got about 2 cm of snow before the changeover.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Still all snow here. For now.
I didn't realize freezing rain can happen when it's still so cold outside? It's still -8C here.

I'm getting some snow accumulation as the snow continues here. The path was fully shovelled to pavement before. It's gonna to be encased in ice soon, I guess. Freezing rain is THE WORST.
