At least it's not freezing rain.
Well it might be, for a few hours tonight. It's still pretty cold.

We transitioned a bit later. Was ice pellets till about 7pm and freezing rain since.
Hard to tell initially if it was just plain rain but the snow isn't melting and cars are glistening now. Nasty stuff.

Air temp still suggests it's freezing but the rain falling isn't icing up. So it's likely plain rain up here.
Edit: Precip has tapered off here.

YVR is reporting a mix of rain and snow at -0.5??
Mix of ZR and ice pellets/snow maybe?

-1.3C here with freezing rain. There was a mix of snow and ice pellets in west Abby, but freezing rain once you hit McCallum. Still some drifting snow on the Matsqui flats. Looks like I got about 1 cm of wintry mix.

Clouds are rather scattered here with the drizzle. I can actually see the moon overhead. Heavier rain looks to move in during the overnight hours.

Probably for the better. Rather the actual rain be heavy than the freezing stuff.

Pretty dry here all day. Not much moisture. Maybe some ice build up overnight but this could be a busted freezing rain warning.

Oof. I think it's ZR here but I haven't bothered going out to check. Maybe after the Canucks game.

still snowing here, but I can hear dripping off the arbutus leaves. I'm surprised it lasted this long
