Oh man, I know tensions are high as we await snow but how about we don't argue and bash other members for their opinion.

I admit I'm questioning why it's currently 3 C right now at my house. Doesn't mean I am not Team Snow, I'm just a bit wary because this is not how I thought things were supposed to go...

Am I NW of you? Flakes are just now starting to look more legit.
I would think the timing of this is perfect to squeeze out some accumulation.

Sky is visibly darkening and snowflakes, while still small, are far more numerous in the air. I expect accumulation to begin here within the hour and EC's prediction of snow becoming heavier by sundown will still be on track.

Definitely coming down a little harder now. But that’s relative: still quite light.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I think you are, by just the tiniest bit, but I'm literally staring out the window to see every incremental improvement so I'm catching them a little sooner.

Snowing in Coquitlam :clap:
Amazing..tiny flakes..but dry flakes due to low dewpoints..right? :think:
Where in Coquitlam? Nothing at all on the east side.

Edit: with that said, looking towards the mountains, the ceiling has visibly dropped and is definitely snowing up on Burke mountain.

Lightly snowing at Town Centre.
