Can confirm it's also mostly rain now in Mission. Temperature actually dropped slightly to 2.9C but I guess the higher levels warmed.

Precipitation has been very light, only 2 mm on the day.

Consensus in favour of cold rain in the lowlands tomorrow on the mesoscale models. Think I’ll take a walk up the Grouse Mountain Road in the North Shore Mountains to get my snow fix.

Temps aloft have been running a bit warmer than modeled so it's not surprising to see every suite back ofd the lowland snow chances overnight into tomorrow.

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.

Southerly wind up to 925mb with 850mb temps at +1C and +2C mean rain for the local north shore mountains. Interior alpine areas should fair better.

925 mbar temps look to stay below freezing until tomorrow evening, and drop back below freezing Thursday morning. Still looks like a good mountain snow pattern to me.

1.5c with moderate rain in east Coquitlam. Still have about 1cm on the ground on non-paved surfaces.

[Pomoman]

Honestly it keeps going at SFU. Around 10cm or close to. Heavy snow an hour ago. Backed off and does appear wetter now. A lot better than I expected.

Not the greatest view of what has fallen as this is the sheltered courtyard but you get the idea.

Tomorrow looks like a repeat of today.

I drove to work this morning in some flurries. Was in South Surrey where it snowed for a bit but didn't stick. I saw on the webcam in Fraser Heights we had some snow coverage but by evening when I got home there was no trace except for the field of the schoolyard where it looks like kids tried to roll up some snow.

The 00Z NAM 3km shows a major windstorm Wednesday. Map valid for 5:00PM.
