[Rubus_Leucodermis]

Bone dry in Bellingham still. Not a flake to be found

I’ve been getting a few flakes here on the far north end of town.

This could probably be classified as light snow here at work. Grass slowly seeing more white.

[Moody IKN]

Very light snow in Gastown.
Moderate snow in PoMo

[Bear Golden]

Snow has been picking up steadily all morning here in Lower North Van. Sticking now

[AbbyJr]

Late Friday/Saturday system will trend north and drop 20-40cm across the lower mainland. C'MON!

Could go either way in my opinion.

Had some light flurries but nothing happening right now. Looks like there might be something heading our way on radar.

From The Weather Network:

Forecast models are beginning to converge on a probable solution. Most of the moisture is expected to initially move into Washington late Thursday. Some snowfall can be expected for extreme southern Vancouver Island with this first round, before more widespread, extended snowfall moves in late Friday.

Snow in the Victoria area is expected to become heavy at times Friday night and through Saturday, with additional periods of snow likely to continue through Sunday.

"There are some truly impressive snow totals possible, especially for Vancouver Island including Tofino and Victoria, with the potential for 15-30+ cm," says Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham. "This also has the potential to be a significant snowstorm for the Lower Mainland, including Vancouver."

Beyond the weekend, another system is likely for Monday, though most computer models have somewhat milder temperatures with a changeover to rain for areas near sea level.

"However, we know that the models are often too warm with this type of set-up, so we will have to watch the potential for more heavy snow," Gillham adds.

Regardless, there would be additional heavy snow for higher elevation locations away from the coastline.

Outflow has extended back to the South Island again. YYJ obs show an abrupt switch from west to gusty NE in the past hour.

[South Island]

Light flurries now in Victoria with outflow starting up!

From The Weather Network:

I would be dissatisfied if this event produced less than 40cm here

[Monty]

Lots of cold onshore flow type weather coming through day 10. Many chances of #surprises

[Pumpkin Seed]

Light flurries at Oak and SW Marine Drive. I can feel the Arctic air and it’s damn cold.

Flurries have changed to a mix now.

-2C and dust mixed with tiny frozen tumbleweeds.

Arctic air pushing west but that pesky lil Low doesnt wanna go. Still sending flurries our way

Flurries have changed to a mix now.

It is sunny here, completely clear to the North of me.

It appears to be heading your way next.
