10-20cm of fresh snow and 850mb temps are around -4c in the valley. Calm winds will be key to maximizing min temps tonight.
Don’t you mean minimizing min temps?

Some pretty dense fog here in east coquitlam currently.

Temp sitting at 0.6c. Surface is definitely colder though - slush and water on the sidewalk and road is freezing up.

Another 100cm to add to your 110cm that fell on your roof. You ought to build a steep pitched roof the next time it collapses which could very well happen before the end of the year.

Ventured down the mountain today and definitely saw the benefits of my elevation. At the bottom there was maybe an inch leftover from yesterday. At the top, we still have a solid 3 or 4 compressed inches. It looks like more the way it was plowed but it was very noticeable. So good move I made.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

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