Totally boring afternoon weatherwise here in the city.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Looks like both Euro and GFS show moisture around when it’s lucky -7°C or colder at the 850 mbar level.

Friday night / Saturday morning snow. Marginal but certainly possible, given modelled temps and DP's.

A devastating day for snow cover today.
From South Surrey to Fleetwood the snow has been destroyed.
Only North of Fraser Highway does the snow pack start to build. The further north you travel the deeper it gets and the better coverage you get including still snow on rooftops, especially in my area, although southern facing rooftops have almost lost all their snow but northern rooftops still have a good chunk left. North of 96 Ave has the best coverage, and then North of Hwy 1 tops it off at the most..

Current temp is 4.2
DP: -1
North Surrey/Fraser Heights
Elevation - 85 M./278 Ft.

Snow has nearly disappeared from sunny areas.
Not only that, soon your Highstreet London Drugs will disappear! :(

I have witnessed mid March sunshine melt 15cm of snow in a matter of hours out East.

Get Vancity south over the 1 metre finish line and then call it a day. Also...snow in 5 straight months.

For some reason this put "thunder and lightning/very very frightening me" in my head, and Bohemian Rhapsody is stuck in there.
