And that it’s snow at the start of an arctic blast, so it will be around for a while, and help minimize overnight lows.
It's called clown range for a reason.

EC's snowfall warning for NE Metro busted hard. Only 1cm here this evening and it stopped snowing many hours ago. Cloudy, breezy and chilly out.

Final snow total for today: 11.5cm.

That's still a huge win. We usually don't get this much snow on the top of the event. Models suck and always will. Seems we need to be modelled to get 35 cm to get 10.

Something is very wrong with the EC data at YVR today, considering it didn't rain a single drop there all day, and I'm pretty sure Goose showed a graphic earlier in the day saying they got 4 cm of snow in the morning.

Also, Bellingham wins every time. Look at that band just sit over them. I bet they have 25 cm of thundersnow.

Heavy snow bands to the west and the east for hours while we're stuck in the dry slot. Oh well, time for sleep.

Merry Christmas!

We were in Duncan for dinner tonight. Looked like they only had about 1cm in the shaded areas. Pretty disappointing there. The HRRR yesterday showed them getting about 35cm

Typer might have gone to bed a bit too soon. That dry gap has narrowed significantly.

My total for today.

Not sure if I count it as 16cm or not? Thoughts?

Spotty precip amounts. 2 to 4 looked more accurate..but the convective nature made them approach with caution I guess in order to have it out there FOR THE PUBLIC :thumbup:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)
