The westside Metro isn't cold enough this am :x
At least not where I am in Coal Harbour. It's snowing but it's not sticking at all.

If it was two months earlier in the season it would be a proper snowstorm.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Heavy snow. Everything is turning white, even the streets.

Definitely high stickage up on SFU. working from home today so I could enjoy whatever pittance the best snow of the season may deliver. Picking up intensity! White everywhere.

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

Just drove through east van, snowing heavily but nothing sticking. Not even the rooftops. Car thermometer said +3 so makes sense

Flakes are still coming down but it's getting awfully bright out there. Sunbreak and melting to commence in 3… 2…

Still an overperformance. About 1 cm accumulation in 15 minutes.

Yeah it's coming down quite good now. Heavier side of moderate maybe. Flakes growing. Still fluffy. A few cm now.
