Up until 10 mins ago there were true wet snowflakes falling. But it didn’t last long and things are letting up.

Grouse Mountain

I have a friend on Westwood Plateau who said they definitely saw snowflakes. I also had a positive splat test driving on the Upper Levels Highway earlier, but it wasn't enough to count as chunky rain

Local mountains getting buried in October, you love to see it

Straight snow at times at Burnaby Mountain. Temp down to +2 up there according to a spotter.

NE wind aloft at 925mb bringing in some cooling. Some snowflakes possible down to 200m before noon before snow levels rise to 800m.

Very wet snow falling in Guildford. Strong NE winds blowing.

Temps really cooling down.

Very wet snow at Catnip hill.

I just had some sleet in Newton

[Snowman]

Picked up 12 cm since about 7 AM. Also just lost power, most trees are still mostly foliated so I imagine some may not be faring too well with the heavy wet snow.

This is only my third winter up here in the Okanagan after moving from Abby, but I feel like this amount of snow in October must be quite rare..

Hopefully we can have a similar set up in a month or two and everyone can score big!

Definitely some chunky rain in North Delta this morning. The mesoscale models weren't too far off after all.
