For what it’s worth, Cliff Mass’s baby shows a west-focused snowfall pattern, too.

It's called clown range for a reason.

As per usual, 90% of our snowfalls come when it’s dark. We didn’t get much snow during the day today, but what a treat actually get to see some flakes during daylight hours.

I don't think there's much overnight. Most models have a round starting right before drive time.

Wasn't kidding about seeing the moon. There are clear breaks out there and temps at the surface are dropping as a result. Any snow overnight will not have any trouble sticking.
Nice and toasty here in the banana belt as it has remained cloudy and a slight S wind. 1.0c, dp 0.5c.

No ice; all surfaces are wet.

We lost Monty. His area looks like it's just been getting nuked and will continue to do so for the next hour or two. Maybe he picked up some more snow clearing jobs right now?
Just dead in Langley. Radar is clear. :thumbdown:
All out west..AS THE MODELS SAY!!!!
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

We're at the time of year where it's better to see snow at night for greater accumulations. Difficult for it to stick during the day.

That’s true, but I’d personally trade in much of the accumulation in exchange for seeing heavy snow fall in daylight.
