I'm going to scale it a back a bit 23 cm ( whole event )
The thing is and I've said this since 2008 back in the old forums is richmond is so weird. YVR can say 6 cm and my place or another place near cambie has 15.

My cell says YVR is -2c Huge dewpoint is -8c so it should be a go for snow.
Not sure how quick the warm up will be since the system is coming down from the NW shouldn't be a rapid warm up.

Remember to get your snowfall totals in by noon in the snowfall contest thread,
Just a storm total is suffice.

I would def say the bust potential has increased dramatically. Temps across the board much warmer than forecast only 12 hours ago. Could end up being a lot of sloppy wet snow in many coastal and sea level areas, dragging down those snow map totals. Will it transition to non accumulating sloppy snow / mixed / mostly rain at some point?
That would be a major bust event

But what do I know?

Feels like that happens a lot but then evaporative cooling with the onset seems to rescue us. Wonder if that will happen today.

Looks like Chilliwack is in the 25cm to 30cm range.

I'm disappointed with the outlook either its out to lunch or spring is coming by the end of the week.
I wish they would discontinue that inaccurate computer generated rubbish.
I thought we were supposed to cool down again.

The ICON is generally not on board until its a sure thing. I think we're good.

I stopped looking at apps and stuff man. They don't know crap. This is the EPS for next weekend.

Looks like bands of moisture not so much as a blob should be interesting.
