A little less QPF and then a few hours of rain/drizzle on the back half of it. All in all, still a solid 10-15 minimum for everyone and then northern sections obviously making out like bandits. My area is right on the borderline of very good to absolutely epic.

Maybe Graham has Chionophobia. Chionophobia is an intense fear of snow. People with chionophobia have an extreme reaction to snow or wintry weather. Even the thought of a light snowfall can cause severe anxiety. The word chionophobia comes from the Greek word for snow (chióni). This phobia can have a significant impact on everyday life.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

I'm 99% sure you're joking but just to be sure he was responding to my joke about Storm's "vigra" mispell, and then posted dog meme for effect.

Flakes in the air over here! :flakey:

Its sticking better in your area, its still -4c with a bit of outflow blowing it around. Its only sticking to the gravel so far, none on the grass or roof tops.
