The blizzard rages on here in the Similkameens. Temp holding steady at -18c with persistent Northerly winds, sustained at 30-40km/h. The snow intensity has picked up under a low overcast and would consider this to be light to moderate snow by Coastal standards. The drifting and blowing snow continues as it has all day. It's very uncomfortable to actually go outside. Ice fishing and snowmobiling look like they will not happen tomorrow :thumbdown:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

1. @Catnip I instaled that radar app you talked about and it's so much better. I already noticed it this morning, it would show the light flurries overhead while EC radar had nothing.

2. Based purely on eyeing the radar loop on that app, Western sections may start to see shower activity increase again around dinnertime
Awesome!

Glad you are enjoying it.

Assuming that's why EC has kept the snowfall warning up for NE Metro Van, since they mentioned convective snow in the writeup. I'd be surprised if we see 10cm though.

Just got back from a walk. Wow, it's amazing how cold -5 feels in the wind!!
Current: -6.4 (Falling)
DP: -6

Clouds getting dark again after sunny breaks earlier.

**Measured snow on my car. Most dependable for depth. 13cm at it's lowest point. So I'll say I think 13 to 14cm fell.

Here is some snow depth from a house on my street. On top of stacks of bricks.
