Are we really sure that band down south isn't going to surprise us and blast the lower mainland?

Is the low over the Olympic peninsula it looks like there's circulation on radar?

VanCitySouth wrote: Sat Dec 25, 2021 10:16 pm If you look on radar, the low is actually hooking due east, maybe even east-northeast, inland, instead of sinking south-southeast like modeled. This could work out for some people in Eastern Metro. Not holding out hope for Western Metro, but #surprises!
The GFS actually had us picking up another 5-10 tonight. #SURPRISES

I've got my chestnut ales and I'm ready to take in whatever happens. I have a good feeling about it.

Too dry. Tumbleweeds are already popping out of the snow.

Light snow continues. May be winding down in the next half hour, but pretty decent for South Vancouver.
Same here. Just clear the driveway and measured 4 cm this evening. So far the coldest evening -5.5C.

This really is the little band that could. I figured when it started it would drop 2-3 cm. It's going for double that!
