Heaviest snow of the day so far. The flakes are pretty small but it’s coming down fast. I would guess it’s about 4-5cm now. Will measure later

Same up the hill. Nothing even over us on the radar yet. This could be a major win.

Those cams in poco and Pitt Meadows are right along the Pitt river right at sea level. They're usually the worst locations for lowland snow north of the fraser.

Snow, snow, snow!!! Yipppeee!!! (yah, who says that anymore :lol: :lol: )

It's really coming down, tiny flakes but the sky is bright, not sure how long it will continue for.

4-5 cm will measure soon

and EC Snowfall Warning for up to 5 cm through this afternoon.

You hit the jackpot! Making a snow forecast against all odds that makes you look like a weather God is the ULTIMATE. I am apparently NOT a weather God because sadly, this scenario has always resulted in me looking like a moron when, not only does it not snow, it ends up we receive snow of the liquid variety.

You made a risky move and won, my friend. You are now elevated to a legendary status among your peers. We all aspire to be you, yet few of us achieve what you have achieved. :lol:
