The latest one shows snow redeveloping from now on.

Back to moderate snow with bigger flakes.

Went for a nice walk. Snow is ankle deep up here so guessing 10 to 12 cm. Snow was super squeaky. Sun sorta came out but snow was still falling, albeit lighter. Flakes are gaining size once the precip cuts off. Bastards. Still really nice though! Met expectations overall.

Snow mountain biking in the forest by my place. 9.5 cm snow depth currently. Such nice fluffy snow!

Still snowing but generally starting to taper off now. 16 cm (determined by finding a spot minimally affected by drifting/scouring and averaging multiple measurements). May score a little bit more but that's probably close to what the overall total will end up being.

Neighborhoods in the hills are reporting more like 20 cm. So my Reddit forecast of 15–20 cm for Bellingham looks like it will be spot-on!
It's called clown range for a reason.

Still pretty light here in North Van. I can see downtown Vancouver from here (although not clear view).

Hope it picks up soon. :think:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

Yup..Catnip Hill extracts all the snow and surrounding radius of 5kms seems to suffer for snow. :naughty: :naughty:
I notice that Port Moody north of Catnip..near sea level seems to outdo many other similar elevation areas.
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:
