Too bad it doesn’t stick around through the weekend.

Looking good for sure. We are travelling up to Comox on Friday-Sunday im sure main roads will be good to go!

There will likely be another round of heavy snow and possible freezing rain for areas of the east island from the Malahat and northward. Starting later Thursday and Thursday night. I suspect things will mix out by Friday morning but that’s a tough call on timing. So check back on Thursday.

Latest HRRR is showing some impressive totals in places by 9am tomorrow. More snow to come after this point.

It's the HRRR and seems to change outcomes every run. I'm just posting for discussion purposes.

Is someone able to translate what this means exactly?

The radar is showing snow, but nothing is falling

It’s falling, just not far enough

Going to take a while to saturate things. Very dry atmosphere.

But that's a good thing if @Michael1 wants snow. Upper atmosphere is now too warm to support snow, but the evaporating precip will cool it to freezing or below and allow snow to fall through those layers without melting.

Thanks! Too late to cancel the hotel at that point we have hockey in Powell River one day Comox the next. He’s good with driving in snow and I would rather not even as a passenger.

Much of the precip seems to be heading into Washington at the moment.
