Drive back to the central valley this morning no snow from Abbs until l hit well not literally the Vedder bridge east bound.
Pond cam view when l arrived home, Chilliwack to Hope got a nice accumulation.

3cm fell @ the pond in south Sardis. padding to my February total.

Time for gumps to tank for a better draft pick.

Drove home from Coquitlam, detoured up SFU.
Definitely snowy up top.

Snow cover on Hastings until Holdom, splats all the way home after. Splats more prominent locally near Joyce.

One of those nights that really make me ponder moving up there, despite my place being an easy bike commute to work, having friends nearby, and it meaning a rent increase.

Gut feeling the euro is correct

Yeah, I find 8–15 cm a much more believable forecast than 20–40.

Skipper just needs elevation.
Speaking of draft pick how convenient that Demko pulls up lame in practice on Thursday perhaps another player shutting down for the season.
I'm actually getting stoked for a better draft pick.TBH

O.k.

I still think we're at the time frame where the only question is will it snow vs will it not snow. The amounts could not possibly be accurately modeled with all the variables.

I'm going to always remember December 19 2022 and December 30 2021. Great snowfalls that really only came into view in the last day or two. In the case of 2022 it was like the last 12 hours when we went from expecting 5-10 cm to suddenly something special was possible.

That said, you can't go wrong playing it safe and setting your expectations low.

l don't know Rubes for the amount of times we get this step up personally l wouldn't if our climate produced these events more often then perhaps save your hard earned cash man.

Agreed issue is can we pull one more rabbit out of a hat once in a season is special like you said Dec 18th 2022, once more and l give this winter a A+, it was at a C+ in January but end of January's snowfall and now this mornings has bumped it up to an A with next week still pending.

Oh, it's just idle pondering, the odds of my acting on it are remote. Despite my occasional grumbling, my neighbourhood isn’t bad at all when it comes to an in-city location, something I get reminded of every time I commute to the office downtown after a snowfall.

I have a 30km commute to work in east Abbs as much as l love snow l hope any major snowfall is when l'm off and if not hoping highway 1 is in good condition your set there perfect no worries.
Luckily in November and the big blast in December was all good these little dumps are good just minor slush on the roads.

One more pic from the pond cam before higher sun angles melt it all away.
