It's Vernon.

I wouldn't be surprised if a flaming car is clogging the sensor.

Windy all of a sudden in the Village. Looks like hail.

Edit: it's definitely wet snow.

Big wind/rain squall just blew through the west side. Very impressive and with heavy precip rates it looks like a bit of wet snow is mixed in. Doesn’t look like hail here.

Edit: And it’s over. Lasted about 5minutes.

That was a pretty fun unexpected mini storm. Very heavy snow and gusty winds made it appear as if we were having a blizzard for 15 minutes. Big flakes made for some eye candy as it came down in horizontal sheets. But now it’s sunny and chilly.
Surprises can be fun once in a while.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

Past 4 GFS runs, including todays 12Z have shown it. I still don't buy it but its possible some areas could see some wet snow. :thumbup:
