Can anyone help identify the area this pic is from. I was searching webcams and found this one but it says it may be from Coquitlam or Abbotsford. Both could be wrong, but someone here might recognize the area.

Ok more like 30 - 50 cm on the map but I just can't take it at face value after what's happened with the GFS all winter.

I suspect that if you look at temperatures at least half that is modelled to fall with temps somewhere in the 2–4°C range.

Intense snow squall with rare westerly winds just happening now! 1cm in less than an hour!

Just checked, it stays below freezing at the surface the whole time.

Wow Chilliwack!

Not the case. Looks below freezing just about everywhere Wednesday night

Yikes! I will have to take a look myself this evening. Heading out to take my first bike ride in some time.

Could be sardineman's lucky day, or maybe it's missing south sardis altogether.

Sure. There has been modelled for at least a day or two. Issue is, there’s times the temps are too warm for snow on either end that GooFuS is still forecasting there to be snow… or at least there were the last time I looked. Have no trouble believing it’s going to snow with that event, the issue is how much of it falls as rain before it cuts over to snow. Maybe I’ll be wrong again.

Graupel shower moving through here.

Turned into an intense snowstorm!!

This is when the temps. starts to moderate 10 am Thursday. It's reflected in the snowfall maps as well.

How can you claim something when you haven't even checked.

It's all snow to start, the only question is how long it holds on. It appears judging by many runs I've seen that the majority of it falls as snow. I'm pretty confident with this one, I think you'll get there eventually

I don’t think they’ll be much if any rain on the front end Wednesday evening. I think the bigger question is ratios and the possibility of mild air wedging in at the mid and upper levels producing ice pellets and freezing rain on the back side Thursday am

Enjoy! It's suddenly beautiful over here. That graupel shower sucked earlier I was out doing some farm work in the mud.
