That's probably not going to melt until April.

Just as a comparison, Vancouver picked up a similar amount of snow in approximately four days in January 1971. And of course some places surrounding Victoria also picked up a similar amount of snow in just two or three days in December 1996.
lol 1971 thats cherry picking Vanc snow totals from 50 years ago? :lol: :lol:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Pearson airport might be having trouble accurately recording snowfall due to blowing and drifting. Apparently downtown Toronto has picked up 30-40cm since yesterday.

Got pretty close to happening here this year. Happened in Squamish and Nanaimo.
It's called clown range for a reason.
