Visibility down to 4 km at YVR. Pretty sure they'll have measurable snow tonight.

Grass is now mostly white. Car tops and roof tops white. Paved surfaces beginning to look slushy.
Probably 0.5 cm now so way ahead of my earlier estimate of "3 hours without even 0.5 cm"!

Starting to get the feeling this may overperform what the models predicted.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Of course as I say that the snow tapers off to light flurries, barely enough to maintain what's on the ground.

Nothing in New West. You can see the stars through the clouds above but the clouds due west look like snow squall clouds.
