None of what you're saying isn't already accounted for in the models. We weren't supposed to get snow until later, that is exactly what's happening.

I've said this before. He trolls. Simple.

It appears that the front is starting to tilt more to a N/S orientation..with a ridge under pushing the front to this. Was this modeled?

Dude shut up. You legit make nonsense up

[Lisa0527]

Really? We have snow and we're inland of you. Very fine flakes but definitely snowing lightly.

Just started to see some very fine flakes

It's fine 101, Nito needed a 2nd Lieutenant anyway.

He's technically 3rd ranking. Radar is 2nd Lieutenant.

Chilliwack +1c
Hope 0c


Most areas in LM are around +1c rn

The temperature will drop when the moisture moves in. Dew points are still well below zero and the ground is frozen. This low is bringing cold air with it as it slides down the coast from the Northwest. This event has a very low probability of busting. Significant snow is coming.

More sunshine here. Can see slivers of blue sky.

Just watch his area get "pumbled" and by tomorrow morning he'll be bragging about his neighbourhood but also about how this doesn't compare to the Similkameeeeeenz

Incoming SnowStorm

Get Ready!

Snow should start falling shortly as moisture starts pushing inland. Flurries will turn to periods of heavy snow this evening and over night. Wild amounts of accumulations could be seen for this time of year and this could certainly be record breaking if the models are correct or especially if it decides to over-perform. For the general metro area we could see anywhere from 15CM along the coast to 30CM inland and up to 35CM at higher elevations and 40CM along the mountains. The Valley should see about 25CM. Outflow has diminished so less blowing snow this time will help produce accumulating snow in the Valley.

I see some of you worried this storm may bust. You need to keep one thing in mind. This is not a typical pineapple express pumping rain right from Hawaii type of system. This is sliding down from the NW dragging cool air with it so the upper levels are cool, and not warm. So there is a major difference with this storm compared to the typical arctic/moisture clash events we see on the coast. Wetbulb will bring the temps back down from any gains we had today as dew points are still quite low across the region.

Interestingly enough, it looks like it may remain snow all day Sunday as flurries, and Monday as well after a slight warmup, and then Monday night may bring another dump of snow. Mid week another surprise is forming, and then another, oh my very interesting week upcoming! Snow lovers should be excited! Some events will be close calls, but keep an eye on the models.
