Model consensus has 5 to 10 cm but I'm thinking a bit more than that especially for Shawnigan. GFS is the usual outlier at 20...I think I'll go with 10 to 15 cm. About 5 cm for Victoria area. What do you think?

Starting to come down pretty good, and starting to stick to paved surfaces. 0.6ËšC.
It's called clown range for a reason.

As of 610pm we have 12 cms here, judging by the looks of it outside im guessing a lot more to come, heavy snow. Lots of accidents through town and up and down the Sea To Sky Hwy.

Nice to hear about your snowfall...not good about all the accidents though.
