It's been snowing non stop since 2 am. Moderate snow and back to accumulating.

You're gonna have a fun evening then. Looks like western edge is about to wrap up.

Scenes from QE Park

Anyone playing tennis? Played in a tennis tournament there in the early 80's.

HAHA no tennis today. Snow isn't the bounciest material.

This is what the 18z euro looks like for snow from 6am thru 6pm tomorrow... looks like another non-event.

[Hound]

I'm fully prepared for rain tomorrow after what was essentially a non event here today.

[Typeing3]

Another great event for Victoria! Getting real close to 20cm at the airport.

Now that the sun is going down the snow is trying to stick to cars again. I can see a fresh coating on the ones on my street already, so we're up to 9.5 cm for the day

[Macster]

Yup. Light flurries but sticking to everything as it gets dark. Is it too much to ask for 1 more heavy band to blast through and cover everything?

I feel your pain Typeing. It seems everywhere scores except the mainland. Snows in Victoria for F sakes. Snows in Texas.. what the hell. There is no other explanation other than we are cursed or we truly are the anus of not only Canada but of all N America. So pathetic. We need a volcano to blow and cool the atmosphere and block the sun. Man.. I'm not a happy dog.



A lifetime of waiting for just a couple decent snowfalls and we get screwed all the time.

Snowstorm followed by temps close to -10c near the gulf coast in texas on Monday-Tuesday.

I think we lose sight of the fact that we have had some major wins here. 2016/17, Feb 2018, Feb 2019 in some pockets and Jan 2020. I get the frustration though. We were so close to the perfect set up and got screwed by the fine print.

Still very nice out there though.

If you like green grass with a dusting of snow. Don’t know if it got above zero here. My thermometer kept me below 0 all days with about 0.5cm of snow.
