It’s very light. Been snowing for about 2 hours and only up to 1 cm so far. -1.1˚C.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Looks like around 8mm so far. Frozen ground helped obviously. Steady light snow. Huge victory imo buttees :flakey: :flakey: :clap:

Its still coming down nicely and it looks like another decently strong band still coming this way. I'm thinking 3-4 cms here when all is said and done.

It’s really picked up in North Vancouver. Blowing in from the East, I would say moderate.

Downtown and the West End always seem to get about the least snow of anyplace in the region. Not a surprise, really.
