Sounds like I may do better tomorrow and Monday perhaps? Only to have it turn to rain no doubt.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

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

I'm probably more exposed to outflow than you guys. Limiting precip... just ~6km to my east a bit lower elevation along the the Pitt River has next to nothing.

How do you see us in Squamish doing through Monday? Still have the winds gusting here.

So when will the transition to rain actually happen do you think? Could we see it staying snow the whole day tomorrow?

For what its worth, its all snow on the GEM. GFS transitions to rain and then back to snow.

Sloppy mix starts tomorrow evening at lower elevations near the water. Should be mostly rain at lower levels on Monday morning with a SW-S surface breeze. Later transition the further east you go.

For Squamish? Recent model runs keep the chance of snow right through Thursday with negative 925mb temps.

More modified arctic air in the long range of the GEFS. GFS has multiple shots of lowland snow/slushfests. These Februaries continue to produce at an impressive rate.

Still getting light snow but it's basically stopped accumulating. Melting off paved surfaces... gotta love these mid Feb sun angles!
