Unreal!!
I just went outside and measure 4.8cm !!
I checked in multiple places on a hard surface that had NO snow on them earlier.
Temp: -7.4
DP: -12

This is unusual. It's heavy snow, but the flakes or crystals are like little diamonds falling. Best I can describe it as is GLITTER.

It's so light you can literally blow the snow away with your breath.

This is so unusual and yet so awesome and beautiful! It's over-performing already!

A car went ripping down my street and a big cloud of snow was blowing up behind it like smoke.

You are experiencing Similkameen Snows. Yes, and happiness snows. Enjoy!

You know, I often feel like Europeans have way more fun with life than we do here. Everyone here is so up tight, so unfriendly, so into self, they just don't enjoy life like they should.

I hear you on that. So many uptight people with attitude. Many think money makes them a better person
I have a great soçial group and enjoy a very happy life.
I sense many here feel the same

Looks like back to moderate snow in Chilliwack.
-9c still @ the pond in south Sardis, AF slow melt down beginning temps jumping up down there.

Ya, my footprints from when I went out to measure earlier are now almost gone!

Current:
-5.6 (Temp has been slowly rising)
DP: -7 (This has gone up as well)
Moderate Snow/ Light winds

Icicles hanging from the streetlamps!

Snow has doubled or more since I measured. I can't see my footprints anymore at all. My guess is there is around 13cm or more.

Heavy band of snow, west of Vancouver heading your way folks looks like the back edge of this system, should be some insane rates coming up.

Still tracking that heavy band of snow incoming into Metro Van. looks like less than an hour away in time for the start of rush hour, for those working today.

I need to get out and measure but I do know that's a fairly significant accumulation at my house.

PLUS
1 AM to 4 AM: 8 cm

Storm total so far, 19 cm.

I think everyone should just stay home today!!!
It’s a gong show out here.

That band is here and I might record more snow than my midnight to 1 AM hour. HO-LEE.

It's been 15 minutes since I measured, and there might be over an inch of fresh from where I cleared the patio. AGAIN.
