You can see why as the airmass aloft is slowly moderating already and a S/SE wind is kicking up temps at the surface. Could see our last lowland slushfall on Fri morning.
It will be mostly rain on the local ski hills tomorrow. Thurs to Saturday look more pleasant up there. For all intents and purposes...this is the last good weekend up there. Lots of mild rain will obliterate snowpack next week.
HRDPS disagree with you. Pretty much repeat of today.
Better view.

That's just a silly take from what I can see. It will warm up for a period in the afternoon but temps plummet again. The only model I could find that gets to a significant amount of rain was the 18Z Hrrr. A lot of it is sleet and ice. Very inconsistent with the others, The HRDPS, Nam, and the non mesos all appear to support snow for 1000ft and up.
I had about half a cm of snow on the ground when I woke up, but it melted by 10 am. I've had on and off wet snow all day, but no accumulations. It's currently 4.2C with very light snow.
Is snow continuing for everyone or is it raining down there?
Snowing up here again. Slowed down for a time but picking back up. Some melting on paved areas but otherwise continuing to slowly accumulate especially where there is already snow. Best snow of the season, and that's just kind of sad.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..
Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

All rain down here. Guessing freezing level is up at 500m. Temp jumped up tp +5C, and now back to +3C under a heavy rain shower.

Temp profiles at 850mb suggests a temp jump to 1-2C tomorrow while the heaviest precip is occuring. This plummets to 600m with lighter precip after the FROPA.

So the mesoscale models can't pick up on the difference in precipitation from that change? I'm genuinely curious. You've been nailing it all winter so I should know better than to doubt lol. I'm not going to the locals anyways, going to Manning Thursday for that surefire powder.
