It's called clown range for a reason.

Precip tapered off so it's back to a mix.

Oh well, was a nice surprise. Hopefully a few more drier flurries tomorrow to get at least a cm or two on the ground.

But would you rather live in Nanaimo for an extra 30cm of snow a year? I guess this question doesn't really apply to you but still.

Same here. Oh well, fun while it lasted.

Cumberland, perhaps? 150–200 m elevation, that’s gotta help with the snow.

Yeah. Lets turn our focus to the nice crisp dry late winter days coming up. I am hoping to mow my lawn. C'MON 30% RH!

Cumberland is a fantastic place I would live there with no hesitation. Not Nanaimo though.

The city itself is pretty terrible in places. The outlying areas are pretty nice. Especially up on some of hillside areas. I’ve never really considered moving there though.

Ice pellets mixed with snow here. We had a small accumulation this afternoon too

Narrator: it did not work

Nito desperately taking the leafblower to 4-6" of wet snow to clear a path around the lawn mower, which has gotten stuck

Crazy last minute swing for Portland tonight. Looks like they finally get theirs.

Meanwhile. Pure run to run consistency.

Driving up island on my way home from work earlier. Was 6 degrees in Chemainus. 15 minutes later it was 0 and snowing at the Nanaimo airport. By the time i hit Nanaimo it was some of the heaviest snow i've driven in. Stopped for a bit but has since picked up again. Probably 3" already.
