The pros are not on the same page. Weatherpro says wet bulb will play a big part. Tyler Hamilton says No. limited evaporational cooling. The plot thickens.

Here is the 24 hour snowfall predicted by GEM Global ending at 4 pm Sunday. Notice the 10-15 cm forecast for much of Vancouver Island and mostly 2-5 cm for the mainland. Of course doubt whether the snow will get down close to sea level, totals may only be for higher elevations.

By the way, my Nimbus account hasn't been working for a while so I created this one!

Thanks Nito.

However, these specials seem to be getting harder to achieve in recent years. These setups used to be almost guaranteed snowfalls around here. Not so much anymore. Although this one looks like it has a better chance of verifying.
