Yup, all the times I’ve thought to check, temperatures check out. Coastal areas may lose again but otherwise this is not phantom snow.
It's called clown range for a reason.

No SWS or Warning for the Sunshine Coast. Is this bringing snow??? It looks like it's heading this way. +0.2c, dp -2 here -0.6c Sechelt, dp -2

Typer.. question for you.

I was just updating my snowfall totals and noticed that on Dec 23 you recorded 13cm. I only recorded 5cm.

Did I short count myself or do you recall how you had 13?

Thanks!

So is the expectation that the deformation zone (actually have no idea what that means but the term was thrown around) will hit the LM tomorrow AM and cause issues for the commute?
