You literally just repeated your same post.

And yes, it's a bust for sea level. I stick to that for sure. The presence of a rain and snow mix in Ladner does not change that lol.

In weatherpro we trust.
I think I mentioned about 100 pages or so ago that the valley will probably do better on Sunday night.

Finally started snowing here. Hopefully it lasts for a bit.

I never said that. It's snow mixed with rain. They sent a picture of it with a skiff on the grass. They said they went outside and could feel the rain mixed in.

This is a long lasting event. Precipitation tapers off this afternoon and returns this evening. Calling it a bust at 0850am is rather premature. It may bust, but it may not. It is definitely snowing in pockets of Metro Vancouver. That's a pretty decent start.

925mb temperatures continue to hover around -2 with 850mb temps around -5. We're lacking precipitation intensity at the moment, but we'll see where that goes.

I'm near town centre and it's sticking on the roofs, dryer parts of the road and even the grass is turning white.

Had to put a little extra baileys in the coffee on this rainy Sunday morning. It’s sometimes tough to ignore all those pretty snow maps with their pinks and purples and feet of snow. But it’s always a concern when the euro isn’t onboard.

You know what they say about comedy...endless repetition is the key to success :roll:

Also, Catnip isn't even a low elevation so how is that even relevant to what I said?

Yeah...not one of those scenarios where we transition to heavy +1C rain by this evening followed by a southerly burst of winds increasing surface temps to +12C by the morning.
