If snow levels will be 100 to 200 m I struggle in believing SFU will get 10 cm of new snow accumulated on the ground. That amount could fall of course but melt. We shall see.
Not home yet so can’t tell if it’s raining or snowing. Doesn’t seem to be doing much along Hastings in the heights.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

SFU is going to get nailed tonight, it was snowing there two hours ago. An other round of hail is passing through.

Plenty of surprises tonight IMO.

Edit: Full on Wet snow now.

Looks like it’s snowing there now! I’m hoping for some snow tonight if any proper precip every makes it here.

Got home around 5pm on the Langley bump and sadly it was 3c to 4c driving home thru Pitt Meadows and actually warmer on the bump. Weird temp layers out there. Is this a good sign? Its almost like the lower levels are chillier in some cases...Nito? Bono? Anyone? WP? Met? :wave:

And i looked at SFU cams around 3:30-4pm and it was snowing. The trees were all still snow covered..usually a good sign :shh:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Warm air advection. Most likely a warm layer between 600-800m.

Originally it was 8.0 cm. Probably an error, once again...

As pessimistic as I am about tonight, the Euro does make me think “Hmmmm…”.
