Hi guys! I've been here all along but obviously I don't post much. I love reading all the comments and analysis from the experience posters. I'll keep everyone posted on conditions out here in beautiful Harrison Mills. I talked to a neighbour this morning who is trying to convince me it will be too warm to snow that much. He trusts Environment Canada's forecasts and he says we aren't getting much and has a bunch of appointments in the Maple Ridge area on Monday and Tuesday that he has no plans on cancelling based on the EC forecast he sees this morning. We shall see... And thank you to everyone for explaining what is going on :flakey: :flakey:

Would be very impressive to record a low of -16C in February. That's colder than the 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019 events. Coldest since 1989? :think:
