Definitely a high chance you guys out in the valley see a pretty significant ice storm.
Yeah. Do you think Abbotsford and Chilliwack could experience power outages due to freezing rain?

Anyone could experience power outages if we get freezing rain. That's a given if it lasts too long.

EC forecast for Vancouver in the text is 7-9 cm of snow...they've issued snowfall warnings for less than that before. This is very odd. Maybe it's just a really low confidence forecast.

I’m not sure what to expect here...not sea level, but hardly “high elevation”. Hopefully a quick dump of snow before the rain, so there’ll be something left on the ground tomorrow.

Also, HRRR is a tiny bit snowier. FWIW

Yes.

Higher chance in Chilliwack as Abbotsford will see a quicker transition to rain.

I just went outside to check the sky and a rat was on the cleared part of the sidewalk and it ran towards me and I accidentally stepped on it!! I HATE rats and want to kill them all. He's lucky he got away. Disgusting. :x :x
