But SFU had some wet flakes for sure..we were that close. Chalk up another small victory :clap: :clap:
Negative.

Need to wait for the front to pass through. Some cold air behind that. Perhaps some instability will follow in it's wake. :thumbup:

I wonder what they're seeing? The HRDPS doesn't see anything over the lower mainland.

Snow level will likely be at 500m but may get pulled down to 300m in heavier showers. Contractors get to use their plows along with unnecessary salt and de-icing fluid.

This is corruption.
