I'm up to 29 cm. I have a feeling I could have gotten a higher measurement if it weren't from the wind blowing the snow. Still at -3 and a dewpoint of -7. Has started slowing down now, but still windy with blowing snow :flakey: :flakey: :flakey:

YVR back below 0 after poking above briefly. Looks like it's from outflow on the back side of the low.

Temperature just dropped to -3 with a - 4.5 dew point. I gotta say with the wind and intense snow at the moment, I would put this very very close to the top of my favourite snow storms so far!
of course...bc in the old hood Pitt Meadows this would be once every 30-40 years :lol: :lol:
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:

So just to report we've gotten 15 to 20 cm. Also we'd had quite high winds at some points. And now the sun's trying to peek through a little. With the recharge tomorrow, maybe we can catch up to everyone a little bit, as we should be a tiny bit cooler than south of us. Funny thing is we have a little less snow this time than we had during the last one that I don't think hit the Lower Mainland very much.🏂

No, Nito, I can't believe I need to remind you.

North Vancouver seems to be left off a lot of lists today.
so report from NV = 25 cm and counting in Lynn Valley
still coming down hard so expect another 2-3cm in the next hour or so.

will measure again later on. Let the winter continue!
