No one on here today..I guess not interested in another marginal event. My call is some wet snow on the hills if precip starts early enough..otherwise splats only. Meh

Ya tmrw looks interesting for higher elevations but i’m more interested in what the models are showing for next thursday. 12z GFS is again showing some widespread snow with that low dropping down along the coast from Alaska

North of the Fraser and Burnaby Mountain Special tomorrow. 5-10cm possible based on QPF...not sure if it will stick on roadways.

If this was December or January maybe... but mid-late Feb snows have a hard time sticking. Nice to look at but they usually don't add up to much. Case in point, this past weekend.

Just my opinion though.

Would like to be proven wrong.

Precip looks lacking tomorrow plus late morning and afternoon arrival. Maybe snow in the air for the lucky.

So far, I have received 22 cm of snow this winter.

This time last year I had received 92cm.

Lagging behind by 70cm.

What's your average? 92 cm seems like a lot for last winter. I didn't think there was much snow outside of that week in January.

I'm at 18.4 cm this winter vs. 35 cm last winter. My average is 44 cm (2004-2021).

Most of that fell in January.

I will need to check and see what the average is. I believe last year was a bit above average. There were those two big snowfalls that bumped the total up.

Here are my stats from last Winter:

Dec 1 - non sticking flurries
Dec 26 - .5cm
Jan 10 - 11.5cm
Jan 12 - 24cm (12cm morning/12cm evening)
Jan 13 - 2cm
Jan 14 -5cm
Jan 15 - 32cm
Jan 16 - 4cm
Feb 3 - 2cm
Feb 4 - 10cm

Total- 92cm

EDIT. Winter of 2018-2019 I received 86cm.

As much as this winter has been a bust for those south of the Fraser, Pitt Meadows East into Maple Ridge barely got a trace this month. No accumulations pretty much. So horrible.

QPF looks more signficient near the North Shore. Your area really gets screwed in terms of precip in these setups.

I'm going to guess we see one more low elevation snowfall this winter. Probably in March.

I don't know. We'll need some true cold continental air for significant low land snow now. Cold onshore flow really won't cut it in mid February. Especially during the day. Call me jaded, but I think this winter is done. I would love to be wrong though.

Hopefully we see a long cool and wet spring for Nito though. That would be great.

I agree that we need arctic air for significant low land snow this time of year. However, my guess is that we see another period of high latitude blocking in March. Thus, we could see another snowfall. Perhaps I am just being too optimistic.

Other way ’round here. Got more on Saturday than I got the entire season last time. Of course, most of what fell last time fell when it was around -10˚C, which did a lot to compensate for lack of overall amount. So no real complaints about either winter from me.

Though I will note that my current standing total is still below long-term seasonal average (about 35 cm for KBLI), so really hoping for one more event.
