I'll say. I'm expecting to pass 85 this afternoon. Only need 1.5 cm from this band.

Hmm. Is it actually going to accumulate in this midday sun angle?

On existing snow, yes. On paved surfaces, unlikely.

wow that cell/squall line SW of the Olym Mtns has a life of its own. So sad to see it get wrecked soon

Snowing nicely here for the last hour. Not sticking to wet surfaces (roads, cars, sidewalks).

Ya I just got to Ladner and it is now sticking to unpaved surfaces but nothing on the roads. Grass is nearly covered again at least, temp is 0.6c

looks like a lot of shadowing after these initial bands roll thru. Maybe they intensify again over the Strait!

300cm C'MON!

[Incoming T3 reference bringing up the winter of 1834 when we saw 400cm of snow]

For what itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s worth, there is still lots of activity off the WA coast. Whether it makes it up here or not, remains to be seen.

Often things do reorganize and reintensify; we are not in the Olympic rain shadow.
