Also I remember being driven to my brother's Junior A hockey games in Chilliwack, and my dad, who's from Central Eastern Saskatchewan, said it reminded him of home with the wicked blizzard conditions we encountered.

In addition, we are now above the 1991-2020 winter average (34.1 cm)!

I was 7. Remember the early 70's and posted another time about getting frostbite. Lived in a very low part of Surrey until 74 so many times would see cars from higher areas of Surrey with snow on them but just slush in my area, I would be so angry. An epic time for snow/cold lovers.

Stubborn low level cold has this slush melting at a slow pace. In fact, some of it has actually hardened up this evening due to some clearing we saw.

Tonight and tomorrow's rain ought to be welcome relief. Unfortunately looks a little warm for the local hills.

Moderate rain and 3.6ËšC. A lot of melting happened overnight.
It's called clown range for a reason.
