Next front looks like its going way offshore. I say we'd be lucky to see some flakes in the air Friday, nm accumulations. The troffs keep diving more SW each time Prolly end up warming us up like NAM says

I am here right now and it's COLD. No joke and a lot of snow, barely any melt.

Whats the elevation there? Kinda looks like an enhancement of what Pitt Meadows got (so close by right) but with some elevation in play?

It dipped slightly from there.

Overnight low of -6.5c

Bottomed out at -6.5c in east Coquitlam too.

I'd say we're holding in pretty good for cold temperatures and snow!! Banana belt be damned lol

Once you get snow on the ground, being in a low-lying area (which is the thing that works against you when it comes to getting the snow) works in your favour for getting cold temperatures. Cold air sinks and settles into the valleys on still, clear nights. I’m on the side of a ridge so cold air tends to drain away from me.

Ahhh, thank you for that explanation. Makes total sense!

Excellent GFS run. Wet and active with mountain snow and at the end it repairs the ridge and puts us back in the snow.

Dry until next Wednesday. Gradual moderation then some nice +5C rain.

Really want a wet and chilly pattern to up the Mountain snowpack. Hopefully no more arctic air or ridging for a while.

Oh man..great compilation of driver fail here.

Some clips I have seen...

Sure you can blame the municipalities and the BC MOT but I knew as a 16 year old driver that snow/ice and hills are very risky to event attempt and there is no where to go if you get stuck. I would have either better planned my route or stuck it out at restaurant instead of attempting the journey.

But you can see the absolute senselessness here not just in drivers but like there's a freaking thousand pound vehicle sliding uncontrollably sliding towards people and they barely even realize it.

People are just completely unaware, clueless and immune to danger signals. Have they been too sheltered from facing any real risk in their upbringing?

I remember in 2016 being utterly shocked at the behaviour. It wasn't necessary the incompetence but the willful ignorance. People gunning their engines and not moving anywhere for over an hour kind of stuff. Like at what point do you break it down, think critically and figure out something else. Even just google it!

I can totally understand and forgive inexperience. But not aggressive, willful ignorance.

This happens when you mix arrogance, ignorance and inexperience onto a roadway. I was driving around in 2008/09 during the winter storms and it wasn't this bad. You simply have too many people on the roads at a given time, and many of them are inexperienced.

Word is one of the 18 wheelers that jackknifed on the Alex Fraser Bridge had 3 tires with zero tread.

Getting dark here, low clouds moving in. Snow??? Fingers crossed. Forecast is for a sunny day so just maybe
