Looks tame. Winds still picking up slightly. Put a video on so you guys can see what Abby is like.

Tires will be in next week.

Outflow winds mean freezing rain. Keep an eye on the fronts and pacific air push inland. That front is slowly returning towards the lower mainland. That is what will dictate things.

Absolutely dumping snow here now. I’d estimate 13-14cm. Took our 4year old out for a drag around the neighborhood on a sled and we had a blast. Perfect powder snow. She even helped shovel the driveway.

-7.2C, light snow & quite breezy.

I would say less than 1 cm so far, but it's picking up. Coming down at maybe 1 cm/hr. Not gonna stay up and wait for the good stuff, will measure in the morning.
