After coming down and not sticking for most of the morning, it’s been coming down harder for the past half hour or so. Have picked up a quick dusting. Radar shows the fun green stuff is almost done passing over me.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Normally you're the one saying these types of events are a bust. :lol:

Looks like the precipitation was way overdone on the models. This front is really weak and doesn't have much moisture with it.

Can some repost that chart showing the snowfall intensity definitions. Light, moderate, heavy. I thought I saw it the other day on here.

Well he got the 2 and the 3 right. :lol: :clap: In all honesty, he is a very good meteorologist and I highly value and respect his opinions.

He is also human and not perfect as no meteorologist is, especially with our complex region.

Definitely a bust in terms of 20-30cm. Precip intensity not nearly enough to bring subzero surface temps. Solar radiation preventing freezing at the surface.

It's a bust in lower North Van. I think the actual city of Vancouver is scoring.
