What a difference to the month of March. The powerful lowland snowfall events from the last few days of Feb ...that looked to continue have been essentially bombed from the forecasts. Back to the usual...cold rain and slush festivals.

Noticed all my accumulating snow fell after the snowfall warning ended just before midnight. A few cm anyway.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

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

It didn’t last long, but we got about 30 minutes of wet snow. Enough to leave some slush on cars. Oh well.

Looks like tons of chilly rain with 300-500m snow levels at time the coming week. :thumbdown: Then we enter a typical spring showery pattern with temps near +10C.

Same here. I mean, maybe some wet glop fell for five or ten minutes in the wee hours of the morning and then changed back to mixed precip. Who cares. Another event for the lame list.
It's called clown range for a reason.
