I remember it snowing for pretty much 3 days straight. I don't think it amounted to much at the airport because it was barely above freezing the whole time there, but I had just enough elevation where we did get accumulating snow, and the best part was it snowed harder and harder with every goal Canada scored during the gold medal game in the Olympics.

So a repeat of that but 3 degrees colder would be nice.
February 2017 is a good example of a colder version of the 2014 event. Lock it in. :D :wave: :flakey:

Abbotsford recorded a snow depth of 45cm, which was the highest since December 2008 when 49cm was recorded.

Thankfully desertification is rapidly occuring in many parts of North America. Means sand will plentiful. Also, there's a ton of sand under the melting glaciers :thumbup:

Special Weather Statement is up for Metro Van. Nothing for the valley yet. :wtf:

I really thought we'd be seeing a rainfall warning by now. Maybe they will hoist one at 4 pm. Edit: nope

I'm at 26.2 mm since yesterday afternoon.

You know it's surprisingly rainy because I kept reading about how there would be crazy gradients from south to north, so I was like okay so 200mm in 3 days for the mountains but maybe 50 for the city. It's already approaching 50 today and we have 2 days of rain left...
