HRDPS. At this stage, I would say that the most reasonable forecast is for at least some wet snow to fall tonight or more precisely tomorrow morning. The preponderance of models are calling for it.

Been snowing already for a wee bit up here but very wet and mostly during heavy bursts
Be cool to get one more snow tonight and then it’s time for spring.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

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

Here we thought spring had arrived.
Temp is 5.3
DP is -2
So it is possible we see some wet flurries in the morning.
Pounding snow on the Coq.

Nito has reached the bargaining stage.

They say depression is next, followed by acceptance, so we better be ready to give him some moral support.

I just read it's snowing in Tahsis and Gold River. Video of snow in Tahsis showing big, heavy flakes falling straight down, but accumulating.

I want that! Currently +4c and the moon is out so while I'm making wild wishes, I want to win the big lottery and get a unicorn. :lol: :lol:

Currently 3.0c dp 2.2c in Sechelt. No snow there either. :(

Slushy rain. A little slush managed to accumulate on the parked cars. Does not count as snow in my book.

And GFSfail, NAMfail, HRDPSfail. Was hoping that with good model consensus for once this one might be different.

Silly me, it is after March 1st. Therefore:
