North Shore mountains has seen 20-30cm in the past day. :thumbup:
Troff usually digs too far :roll:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

I had about half a cm Friday night and a carbon copy again last night. Current temp is 0.4C

These cells seem to lack the "juice" to get any decent accumulations.

We have barely had any precip the last 48 hours.

Better chance tonight as the trough finally moves eastward.

Everything was wet when I got up this morning, but no white stuff to be seen. So it was either slushy rain or wet glop that melted on contact.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Models have been busting bad on precip amounts. Otherwise we would have had some decent snow totals by now, particularly at higher levels.

Just bring on spring. These 1 hour 4 am snowfalls are so pointless.

Close to 30cm in some locations near Campbell River. Close to 50cm near Granite Bay.

Quick hitting. Doubt we see anything more than a slushy dusting.
