This will be a quick event IF those SE winds develop. this would warm the region up quickly and kill the moisture associated with front#1 until front #2 passes by and ushers S and SW winds.

If the wind aspect busts then this would prolong snow lasting till Sat morning for Metro Vancouver.

5-10cm seems like a good bet. No confidence Delta or Richmond see much.
Never mind. Snowing is not allowed in Richmond anyway!

Olympic shadow effects in place. Looks like the last storm. Repeats are common :think:
Meaning snow and suppressed S winds again? :think:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Maybe it's the dreaded SE winds kicking up. If that's the case it could be a slushy cm or two until its all over. What u think Nito?
