Luckily I don’t ever use that bridge. However, you are right, I can’t believe they haven’t come up with a solution to that problem. Ridiculous.

Good news for those that got snow is that it will freeze up into a hard layer of ice and should stick around till Xmas.

The bad news is the streets are going to be awful tomorrow morning.

Highway 3 (Allison pass weather station) was reporting -2.8C and HEAVY snow pretty much all day today. Yet - Gibson pass ski area (manning ski area - 10kms to the south) was PLUS 4 and raining, can you believe it?

Abbotsford was snowing all afternoon. Yet Mt Baker ski area was also PLUS 4 and raining today. Sasquatch mountain base area was -1.8C and snowing hard all day.

How is this possible? The cold trough must have been literally right in place between Manning Park lodge (I called in and they confirmed it was snowing there), but they didn't have phone service. TWN also was reporting 3C and rain on their weather app for the ski area.

What gives?

Reason I really care is because I was planning on skiing there tuesday... Perhaps not going to go now - Allison pass has had over 40cm already today. Crazy to think the ski area had rain lol - it's at 4800ft altitude lol
Did you look at the webcam?

This wasn’t really on the radar a few days ago.

Its ok Nito..you took an early lead in the game but it has since ended. At 5-3, it looked like you may make a late bid with the snow changing to rain..but the rain isnt here. So 7-2 it is. Game over!! hahahaha jk
