8 cm. Snowing hard.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Crazy totals guys. Haven't measured but eyeballing it I wouldn't guess more than 3cm new here, if that even. Snowing moderately with mid-sized flakes so here's hoping for more.

I am continuously perplexed by your banana belt. Sorry dude. I hope you get hammered rest of the morning.

@Luminen reported this effect, too. One would expect areas right at the foot of the mountains to do better, given orographic enhancement. Not so at the lowest levels. Just plain weird that there are many events where Richmond of all places does better.

Several golden pineapples have been buried in the banana belt. It's up to T3 to recover them all to lift the curse of Nito.

Looks like @Hawk is about to get pumbled with a big yellow echo.

Really dumping IMBY despite the light green.

This is roughly the worst inland area for snow in Metro Van.

Approaching 5cm here even in the tropical zone that is lower North Van.

Ironically more snow on the ground now than what was on the ground Sunday morning 😂
