If possible could you all provide temp/dewpoint/sky conditions etc, starting from now until the event and through the event? I want to track the trends and stats to analyze afterwards in order to better understand what is going on in the lower mainland and make better forecasts. Also what effect the wetbulb is having on various elevations. Please and thank you! :tophat:

-2.6C here now. Dropping quickly. We will end up in the rain shadow most likely tomorrow with a warming south wind. But it’ll likely be a lack of precip over here that will be the issue

Good chance for us on the mainland to make up some ground on your snowfall totals this season. :lol:

Parts of the lower mainland should do very well tomorrow. I’d imagine the models are being a bit too aggressive with the warmup especially for areas north of the Fraser River

Random thought but...we're looking at hopefully 10-20 cms of snow tomorrow. Many would be disappointed to get as low as 5cm. However, some areas on earth have never seen even 0.1 cm of snow. And yet, within the context of Canada's climate, we're a snowfall laughing stock.
