EC is committed like a captain going down with her ship.

“ The Malahat Highway will see 15 cm of snow by Monday.”

+2 and raining at 350m there

Flea sized snow...do they hop around when they land?

Sadly nothing here but a bit of drizzle still, the ground is frozen so if it does chance to snow, it should stick...am going out soon to forage for apple turnovers to drown my sorrows, if I'm not on later, you'll know I got stuck in a snow bank.

Haha! I was trying to think of the smallest thing. These suckers are so small, unless they change, there is no chance of accumulation

Stationary Low forming just to the west of South/Central Vancouver Island last few hours. This will substantially prop up the precip rates later today. I hope
Patience my friends

Been snowing with varrying intensity all morning here South Surrey, but definitely getting some meltin now. 1cm on the grass at best an hour ago or so....just enough for a lame snowman....this pic is after some melting

Not sure if this link will work, but you can see that low here. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=46.7;-126.1 ... erature-2m

Looking like one of the dark blue bands is about to reach the west side.
Hope it turns to snow for y’all down in the common lands

Nice to see that the ducks are enjoying the snow, visiting those ducks are a part of our daily routine when looking after the grandkids.

Based on the wind directions shown on this map, you can see why some areas are lucky and others are not. Definitely threading a needle. Piglet Sound with those southerlies.

Edit Piglet Sound = Puget Sound

I’m leaving the typo

Wow what an incredible app. Never heard of that before.

Well, another disappointment. What's new.
Temp: +0.7
DP: -1
Snow changed to sleet. Next stop.. cold rain.

I wish EC would have regional forecasts. The snowfall warning only seems to apply to areas above 300m. Westwood Plateau and Burnaby Mountain.

Areas between 100-200m are seeing periodic wet snows but not really posing any threat on the roads.

that would make them more wrong.

I'm not giving up hope for surprises but yeah its not an "overachiever" by any stretch. I'm a little more concerned about the long term trends, not seeing it yet in the EPS. It forms a block at the very end but nothing exciting for us. I've heard that were going into a good Mojo though, and I'm calling it that because I have no idea how MJO works.
