I got the answer from the YVR Weather Records Twitter account:

3-5 is maybe aggressive. I'm just south of there and we got maybe 1-2cm (I still had some on the ground from the other day). Band that was south of Nanaimo all day did eventually move north but it came through fairly quick. South of Nanaimo got dumped on pretty good tho.

That being said, it is lightly snowing out right now.

Still power outages in Abby. Seems to be the only place with multiple power outages. Poor people must be freezing without heat.

All good where l'm staying Frozendogman :thumbup: nice and toasty enjoying this absolutely insane winter day yeah we didn't get much snow still counts as a win for January. However if we come out of this event with no snow l'd be surprised but it has happened.
The 7th annual snowfall contest is canceled due to no snow this winter.

GEM is similar. GFS is getting there.
