I woke up this morning and I had a smattering of slush on the ground. Some snow on the window and some patches of snow on the ground.

Edit: Look at this... 18C!

I’ll believe it when I see it, although by mid-March we are usually due for some temperatures like that.

Beauty of a day in Truckee.

New West hills usually do ok for snow in marginal set ups..why do you get rain so often?

We had a trace of snow early this morning. Had some rain showers when I posted that.

Can see some clearing towards the South! Should get sunny

Trace of snow in east Coquitlam earlier this AM.

Euro is still spitting out 4-8cm of snow.

Trace of snow this morning. I missed it falling though.

[Catnip]

Picked up a couple cms this morning.

I've recorded snow in the last 4 months (Dec - March) which is a decent achievement during this El Heato.

Other than Jan, the totals have been pretty meh though.

You weren't kidding about Tofino getting snow!

Scoreboard update:
Climo 81 (81 days in meteorological winter without any of: snow or high<0 or low<-10)
GFS 44 (cm of snow IMBY + days with high<0 or low<-10)

This ought to be it barring further surprise slushfalls over the next couple evenings, but I think we can safely say won this winter.
got a moral victory by scoring an unexpectedly high number.

Note: Climo can no longer score because it is now March and not meteorological winter

Would have been a crazy few days if the trough axis had shifted East and not dug so much. Models suggest one last shower late tomorrow into early Monday as the trough disintegrates.

North Shore mountains has seen 20-30cm in the past day.

[VanCitySouth]

Scoreboard update:
Climo 81 (81 days in meteorological winter without any of: snow or high<0 or low<-10)
GFS 44 (cm of snow IMBY + each high<0 and low<-10)

This ought to be it barring further surprise slushfalls over the next couple evenings, but I think we can safely say won this winter.
got a moral victory by scoring an unexpectedly high number.

Note: Climo can no longer score because it is now March and not meteorological winter

For reference, this would have been the 2022-23 scoreboard:
Climo 75
GFS 102

Today looks good for hail and snow pellets in the Valley due to mid day convection.

Chilliwack Lake!


Also see Comox-Campbell River is getting hit.

Nam, HRDPS and Euro are definitely on board for tomorrow night.

Trace of snow this morning. I missed it falling though.

I got up to pee around 4:30 and it was snowing. Was winding up at 5:30 so I measured it. 1 cm.
