At 500m heavy wet slime
At 700m several accumulated inches of wonderful snow.

Edit: Essentially the same old disappointing story as it has most of this season.

Edit edit: I might be cranky today.

Been looking at the models and really wouldn’t be surprised if many of us end up seeing some snowflakes from Sunday evening into Monday morning. Does not look like there will be significant accumulations, but both the ECMWF and the GFS have been calling for it the past three or four runs. That is usually a pretty reliable sign.
It's called clown range for a reason.

We seem to be in a #patternlock with R/T/R/T/R/T, with warm spring ridges and fairly cold troffs, which seem to show up every 7 days or so on weekends. This troff looks to be the coldest one yet :shock: :shock: .
If this system is a duplicate of the previous one then
PornoMan should score a late season snowfall :clap:
And here it is..December 2024 all snow geeks have been waiting for :silent: ..with the LR weather "charts" calling for a cold and snowy month. Where's the troffing? :silent: :silent:

Ask Nito. Hes nailing it all season. Right now it's hot and cold. And nitos silence means no sunny warm in the mid to long range :think: :think:

It hasn’t warmed up much so the ocean is still cold which is preventing it from warming up much. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle that we sometimes get trapped in during springtime.

Wouldn't wind prevent a freeze?

Good call Van man :thumbup: wind warnings and special weather statements have been posted from the valley to the island. Few day's early for going out like a lion but close enough. Even the risk of thunderstorms for the GVRD.
