Things are continuing to SLOWLY pick up here. Very solid light to moderate snow. Smallish flakes but they’re trying. A couple cm. Definitely socked in up here. I would say we are at the freezing mark as snow is sticking to vertical surfaces and I don’t hear any melting.

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

Hearing reports that Ladner is straight snow now. Awesome! Let's hope it keeps up. Not much in Cloverdale yet. Need heavier precip.

If you were expecting a widespread 10 cm or more, well, models just weren’t trending that way, sorry.

My dusting has mostly melted. Oh well, at least I got something.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Nito do you think we will see one large band or multiple bands move in later today? Also, do you agree there may also be some heavy snow in some areas due to convective activity? I believe this area is in the firing line with moisture coming out of the SW. It has happened many times before. :clap:

Cloudy, 2c, winds 16 SSE with occasional disappointment. Precip rates are very low here. Although it looks like on the hill the rates are increasing.

The snow we are seeing this am is usually the kind of snow that happens in the Similkameen..except it would be -5 to -15c instead. It can snow all day and we would get 2cm
Enjoy the painful process buttees :lol:
