This means the models should flip and we end up with tons of snow. :D :D
Surprised to get a few cm's here in Newton.

Looks like up to 5cm fell in parts of West Abbotsford southern high areas above 100m. Here a parked car inside for evidence. Melting now and all rain from about 3:30 on.

Outside of today I think our run of good December's is going to end. The models look far off anything good. I'll hold out hope for a bit of snow on my kelowna trip 26-31 but I'm feeling pessimistic.
