Took a drive out to Chilliwack today to do a legal gift pick up and drop off at the parents house in the eastern hills. They definitely got more than we did and when we drove up towards a nature park about 300m or so it was a good 8” deep despite the melting. 3c at the time. Looked very different 5 mins down the hill.
Meanwhile at home the snow melt was swift once it began yesterday evening. All gone except for the piles.

Anyway may the new year bring the chilly winds and snow to us all.

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

I went out to see if any bulbs were popping up in the garden, and yes, they are, so was another grass type plant. Odd. It' too early for this.

According to the VOTHWMDWC rules :newsp: 17a states ,if a contestant does not use their own property for snow measurements but instead uses the measurements of their neighbor,that contestant will be dinged with a 10 cm penalty for illegal procedure and another 10 cm for illegal substitution. 17b - if the contestant is at work he may have a designated measuring professional on the said contestant's property only.
So if I interpret these rules correctly the bad news is that you are back near your own end zone on the 1 cm line , the good news is that you still have the ball ,1st down repeated.

Well, that snow was insanely wet and dense, the kind of stuff that is easy to get stuck in even if you have the right equipment. :wtf:
West coast powder. But no lift lines.

Interesting note:

3/4 January's during a moderate La Nina has performed well for us. 2 of the 4 were memorable.

The ones in bold are the the most memorable.

1956: Okay but nothing super special. Dry backdoor blast at the end of the month.

1971: Top tier arctic blast and very snowy.

1996: Prolonged backdoor blast with significant snow and one continental arctic front at the end of the month.

2012: Backdoor blast with one true arctic front and significant snow for some Lower Mainland regions.

Oh I forgot 2021. Historic cold not seen since December 1968. 100-200 cm of snow across the lower mainland. Cold locked in until March. :lol: :clap:

Hi Nito.
The last snow event even though it was marginal kind of snuck up on us in a time where bommy temps ruled. When we will see another episode like this..within 7 to 10 days? 🤔
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Interesting. I took it off the following site, which shows only the four Nina's mentioned as moderate.

WTHay hang ol'e Gumpster if you look at the very tiny fine print that you can't read without your x ray glasses. (A designated neighbor, wife, mistress, b/f, g/f may conduct measurements useing rulers, body parts, real or fake) so see Slytyguy was playing within the rules only hope he washed his hands afterwards. :lol:
