The snow is getting to the point where it is visible without the aid of streetlights.
Or in Gumps case Van man binoculars.

Not sure Gumps thought he was eager to try out his new Costco snow tires rated for 1cm snowfalls.
Tires will be in next week.
Outflow winds mean freezing rain. Keep an eye on the fronts and pacific air push inland. That front is slowly returning towards the lower mainland. That is what will dictate things.

Absolutely dumping snow here now. I’d estimate 13-14cm. Took our 4year old out for a drag around the neighborhood on a sled and we had a blast. Perfect powder snow. She even helped shovel the driveway.

Pffft, 10 cm max. It won’t last that long.
It's called clown range for a reason.
