Virga in Armpitsford.
OH MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST REMEMBERED THIS, BUT ABBOTSFORD SOUNDS LIKE "AN OLD MAN'S BUM" IN CANTONESE. The phrase is said "ah bahk see fut."
Geez, that's the joke name my family has used for Abbotsford for 20 years and I never linked it to the running "Canada's anus" gag here, but(t) here you go. Hope that brings a smile to a couple faces here.

Wet bulbing. 2.9C with light snow. Temp dropped about 1C in the past 15 minutes. The wind is making it all the way into the valley here from the east. Which is unusual, might keep us a bit warmer than is typical with this temp profile.

Temp 3˚C, DP -4˚C. Favorable if enough moisture shows up, but it probably won’t. Judging by the radar, things are moving in from basically due south, and I tend to get screwed by downsloping off the Chuckanut Mountains when that happens. Doubtless that’s why many models show Bellingham getting nothing (or nearly nothing) tonight.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Out of curiosity why are some of you saying tonight looks better, other than the EC snowfall warning jinx?
925mb temps drop to -3C overnight. Low dewpoints. Offshore flow. Everything points to snow level probably lowering to sea level if there is enough moisture.
