Nothing here at 160m either Mr. Goose. I'm thinking it is due to the lack of precipitation intensity and duration.
Hopefully tonight this area will do better.
Temperature has dropped though. Now +0.9

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I'm okay with it. Wasn't a popular prediction this morning, but being right is decent I guess.

We were talking earlier about how there are NO decent webcams in Vancouver. So for example, look at this great cam from Calgary:

Vancouver should be ashamed of itself.

I’ve been using
http://katkam.ca/ probably for 15 years and counting and it’s a pretty nice view. Web page is a little plain-Jane and dated but I don’t care about that.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Ya, I kind of think they should. Still snowing here, not accumulating, temp under 1 degree almost all day. My high was 1.1 C. Solar radiation isn’t helping it stick around. Even if it did start to accumulate after sun down we will see maybe an inch. That’s enough though to cause people to stress out driving and head for the ditch.

Changed to rain and snow now at 350’. Will probably change back to snow after 4:30 I think.

If the EPS is to be believed, then the beginning of February is a write off for any meaningful arctic air.

Apparantly mixed precip up at Westwood Plateau now at 400m. Still snow at SFU.
Straight rain here since noon. The ducks look very happy.
