Ya im not looking forward to it..i’ll be heading into Richmond at about 5:00am. Hopefully they have plows working the major routes overnight during the heaviest snowfall

Definitely be safe. I have to leave at 6 am so will be giving myself extra time. Hopefully some people just stay home.

Speaking of snow removal. Our road has not been plowed once this winter.

Really? Brutal

Really? Brutal

Actually I think they came once when we had 1cm of slush and it was raining. Other than that not at all. It’s a good couple inches of packed ice now.

How do you think @Wintergirl will feel after Fridays non stop 4 days (MORE) of snow?

Same, all they've done is salt and sand a couple times. Was brutal last week, and I expect it to be even worse tomorrow. Thick, heavy slush is the worst in my experience. I'm actually doubting my car will make it out tomorrow. I don't have a lot of ground clearance.

Won't bother shoveling the snow tomorrow. It will easily melt with the intense by Fri morning. Although whatever doesn't melt will be a thick layer of ice.

Snowpacks are above average for this time of year, so maybe we are headed for big spring floods this year.

Also, keep in mind that February is the driest of the wettest months of the year.

I always forget how awful March can be. You get tons of troughing.

[Catnip]

cloudy with intermittent tree branch flurries

Make sure you count those towards your snowfalls. Could give you the advantage!!

[Monty]

Up to about 1cm so far.

Some returns west of Vancouver Island.

18Z HRRR has the snow beginning just after 0500PM and has very little rain behind the snow. FWIW.

That continental air not moving out fast enough. Guess the incoming low is stronger than expected and pushing back more. No more feetz of snow.

This continental air isn’t like arctic air. Have my doubts we will see significant amounts of ice. Just less snow and a quicker scrub out of the minimal cold air. Maybe the Wack will hold out longer for snow given then system approach direction.

The low has been gradually trending weaker over the last few model runs. However the low coming up from the south on Friday has been trending stronger.

It’s been snowing here for about an hour. I’d imagine it’s just some light snow on the periphery of the NE outflow. It has begun trickling onto the South Island.

Ends up with this. Hammers Monty and the South Island, but not so much for the Mainland. Throw it out!
