Yeah feeling 0 to 5 cm is gonna be the case. 10 cm above 200m.
Book it.


Or not. Really, what a snoozer considering for long this was anticipated.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

21 inches if I’m doing the calculations correctly.

The cold trough shifting offshore into the Pacific is what messed it up for us. The epic GFS runs had it right over SW BC with a strong North Pacific block. Would have been the perfect setup for cold sliders to come down the coast and draw in cold from the interior.

Its the case where a slight shift in the position of the trough is the difference between a region wide snowstorm and a marginal slush event.

Yes its frustrating but it is what it is. :thumbup:

That's wild , maybe I could build a slyty bigger one and catapult right onto Sardineman's property for a proper snow measurement, just to make sure there's no monkey business.

You should engineer one that could catapult you over to the Similkameens. There are always many snow days there.

I wish I knew someone who went to the Similkameens and told everyone about it. Often. :think:
