Well that’s disappointing

It was snowing at 430 and even saw some white on the ground.

Now... it’s only fallen pineapples and coconuts.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

Seems about right lol not surprising.

Very mild morning here... 4.6C and raining lightly now.

Judging by the radar, the main precipitation is still 2 hours away. That's an additional 2 hours of daytime heating. It's hard to imagine there will be any snow at all by then.

Its true. The models sort of sucked again. But on the positive side, the snowpack is building strongly. With a few brief periods of rain up there in between, its mostly snow at the high elevations and it will probably stay that way being a La Nina. Last year's snowpack didn't arrive until New Years eve or so. I'll be up there tomorrow. :thumbup: I should be dusting my skis off any minute now :think:

1999/2000! A whole winter where 850mb temps never really dropped below -5C but the Mountains still did well.

1998/1999 was the craziest. Baker recording over 26 meters of snow. A lot of it at the base didnt melt at all before the next winter.
