Need the Ladner people to report in soon. They're likely to be first to see snow, maybe as soon as 11.

Bellingham often has a ripping outflow and they are reporting snow, so I don’t think outflow will be too much of a limiting factor here.

There is some outflow going but the snow is coming down nicely.

Temp is dropping, the skies are dark, but the snow just can't get going more than a few flakes.
