Cold… decent possibility as things stand now… snow… looks fairly dry.

Did one of your kids just colour this?
Asking for a friend.
Maybe my 5 year old. She’s pretty talented. Some of her artwork made the news recently. I think it was depicting rain however. Not sure about the 3 year old yet. I’m sure she’s good at something

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/ ... fall-maps/
“The most common snowfall map assumes that one inch of liquid is equivalent to 10 inches of snow, which gives you a ballpark estimate of what the model is predicting, but it is a simplistic estimate that can be very wrong,†Cowan said.
Snowfall ratios can range anywhere from a much lower ratio like 5 to 1, when heavy snowfalls at temperatures near freezing, or a much more extreme ratio in cold conditions, such as 30 to 1, when the snow is light and powdery.
Other problems with snow maps include the degree to which they count mixed precipitation like sleet and freezing rain as snow  something that differs between websites. While the data that each model website gets is the same, it is easy for someone looking to find the snowiest map to pick and choose the website that shows the most extreme outcome.
Personally see the outcome being 2-10cm on E Vancouver Island, above 100m.
Mostly rain mixed with snow across the LM with potential accumulations of 5cm above 300m.

Finally warm enough here to melt the snow/ice.
It's been around for a long time. 4.2c currently.
