Newton as well. Now at 7.5cm. Maybe the southern areas will do ok after all.

Also, snapped this cool shot pretty much by accident a couple evenings ago while trying to get a photo of a cool cloud.

This was what I originally planned on capturing.

This photo gives you an idea of the snow rates, we are at almost 30cms now, accumulating very fast, light fluffy snow. Cars buried along the streets, not a single soul shoveling snow tonight, everyone gave up until morning! My guess is 40 to 50cms by morning here.

No street lights around here but not as much snow. It started around 8:30 this morning but nothing more than flurries until dark. Still only about 3cm on the ground -2.7c

Still have yet to see the heavy snow that was modeled. Light-moderate snow with small flakes all evening so far... seems to be accumulating at roughly 1-2cm per hour.

It wasn’t modelled to be a west-based event, more of a north of the Fraser one. I would expect you should see rates increasing soon.

It definitely needs to pick up! Especially if we are gonna get near 20 or more cm. :flakey:
It's been very fine so far. Light and fine. We need bigger flakes and higher intensity rates.
