So I expected to get home and find rain or a mix at best. Imagine my surprise when I found that somehow it was still snowing and sticking.

Or move in with Nito. Warm and drizzly around his neighborhood.

Looks like this will turn out better than expected. Snowing currently at sea level and temps are dropping fast. We could see up to 10 CM of snow over the next few hours and into overnight. Higher elevations will really do well, and the valley should pick up decent accumulation today. Sea level looks to gain a win today as well, which was unexpected. Not much accumulation there, but snow will keep falling. Whoever predicted rain and drizzle today should really go back to school.
Lol. Shots fired. :pinea: :gunner: :gunner:

I think anyone who said drizzle/rain was just trolling. It was pretty clear it would snow, the issue has always been whether or not it would stick, and how much would accumulate.

I have to say it's looking a bit better than I expected. My call of a trace-1 cm and 2-4 cm at higher levels could be on the low side.
I agree, it was obvious it would snow. Whoever said rain and drizzle was likely trolling. :lol:

I haven't even hit -3C this month.
Being protected from outflow winds can sometimes work in your favour. Average low of -3.7C at YVR so far this month.

Coldest low has been -4.6C so far; coldest March temp since 2009 when temps plunged to -5.9C!
