I’m not in the best area for snow. I’m only about 40 metres above Okanagan Lake, pretty close to the Walmart/ Superstore. I’ve noticed it often doesn’t take too much elevation to make a huge difference in snowfall totals around here.

Although after living in Abbotsford for most of my life, it definitely snows much more often than I’m used to! :lol:

I was there for December 2017. About a metre of prime powder. You could just walk right through it. It was so amazing.

That was a great December! I wasn't living up here yet, but I was up here for the holidays. I remember it snowing for like 3-4 days straight after Christmas. I couldn't get out of the driveway until they finally plowed the street. I then drove back to Abby around December 30th to find a very thick layer of ice covering everything, branches/ trees ripped apart after 3 days straight of freezing rain and the power out to half the city. I don't think I have ever passed more cars in the ditch than on that drive, especially between Hope and Chilliwack.

A nice reprieve, had some sun here too with a high of 9.5° , not quite double digits,some brisk winds at crescent beach. I never believe the forecasts when they show several days of straight rain, there's always some breaks here and there, at least here anyways. Having said that I wouldn't say no to 3 days of non stop snowfall. 8-)
