If what's happening now continues as is for 4 hours I have a shot. 3 cm/hr for 4 hours would more than do it.

Moderate snow confirmed at YVR. Hopefully the start of moderate-heavy snowfall rates for the next 3+ hrs.VanCitySouth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 10:54 pm Heaviest snow of the night here. Visibility clearly poorer than before.

Re: February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions
Well we're at ~12cm in literally 6 hours - doesn't look like much but... that would get us past 20cm by 4am. I do hope it gets heavier though - getting greedy.

Yep, hence the 1-2cm/hr rates. We need to see what Squamish is getting.

I think we both have shot. Rates still increasing. Halfway to 20 cm here already.VanCitySouth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 10:57 pm If what's happening now continues as is for 4 hours I have a shot. 3 cm/hr for 4 hours would more than do it.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Re: February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions
10 cm patio/11.5 lawn. Heavy snow. Earlier measurement error, took measurement in location near to large tree so was slightly sheltered. That bit is closer to the door, and I was lazy. Normally shovel the path out further to measure.
Decided to see if there was any difference. There is, about 1 cm.

Re: February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions
Hopefully that heavy snow that has been hitting Squamish has made it's way into the Lower Mainland now and we will really start getting the goods. Poor Ol' Typing needs a good size dumping to cure his snow blues! And where is Port Kells?

Typer has 12 cm more snow than me over the season! His area may be memed as banana belt but it still does better than City of Vancouver.

If it's still snowing in Ucluelet then that's a great sign for us.
