That would give this winter a very high rating, considering the gloomy outlook for this season.
May winters 2021-2024 live on forever!

Do you believe in 15-20 for East Van now?

My place is in the far west and by the water (3 blocks from the dyke), so I guess I will end up with 5-10 cm at most. Actually not too bad for my area.

Port Mann and Alex Fraser Bridge will probably see the usual ice and snow bomb closures despite the Ministry of Transportation assurance of being ready..

Kind of interesting, the 12z 3km NAM has flurries around into evening, but the HRDPS has things wrapping up by about 0200pm local.

Ready to close the bridges after the first cars get hit by ice bombs!
