Just got home in Tsawwassen and still a steady light snow is falling here. Richmond, Ladner and Tsawwassen all seem to have pretty similar amounts of snow..looks like 7-10 cm in most spots if I had to guess. It was -1c at my parents place in Ladner about an hour ago so it hasn’t warmed up too much yet
Currently located in Tsawwassen, beside Tsawwassen Mills

is more snow coming? HRPDS said yes, but the radar doesn't look that promising, not that radar is be all end all but...
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

It's not hard to believe, this area usually is the snow belt. Holds on longest for snow on this side of the highway usually. Not this year or last though. :eh:
Wait sending the Sheriff over to check. :eek: :sherlock: :cops: say's it out by 0.11111111

Usually when there is an overrunning event a winter storm watch/warning is issued. Its overhyped in my opinion. Usually its just a few cm of snow followed by some freezing rain that doesn't ice up much, and then straight rain. To be fair, my location is one of the worst for freezing rain, so perhaps other nearby regions get more ice buildup. We'll see what happens. :thumbup:

Plenty of cold air left dew point still -10. This is the classic way we go out of a cold snap in Chilliwack we should usually see 20 cm imo

Victoria, Seattle and Portland have all had top 20 one day snowstorms at some point during the past four years. Vancouver has been left out unfortunately...

What's your total Gumps? it has to be the 10:1 ratio :lol: so 2cm. Paragraph 69 subsection 71 all totals must be converted to 10:1 ratios for fairness to those that recieve higher totals.

lol i used to get Pizza there too..so did my bro and bud. I bet one of us must have crossed paths with her if she was there every day :lol: :lol: :lol:
:shh:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)
