Still very frosty outside.
Got down to -4 last night.
Currently +0.2
DP: -3

Too bad the snow will start after most have gone to bed tonight. I think we all look forward to the time where the first flakes start to fall and we all track it in real time and report it here on the forum. If it starts after 1am there will only be a few of us still up. That's kinda lame but hey, it is Sunday tomorrow so perhaps people will stay up late or do the window check every hour, lol! I'm staying up though. Gotta see the snow!! :thumbup:

It kinda seems that a lot of our windstorms occur overnight. Not sure if it's just me though.

Better including us in Richmond, Ladner, and Tsawwassen! To be honest, I will be happy if I end up getting 2-5 cm on the ground this time.

I will stay up till 2am or so. Will let you know once it happens here. But as usual, I probably will be the last one to report seeing any flakes.

He says "even 200 metres" as though there's a lot of people that high up. I would hope that being inland, or at more modest elevations (80-100 metres) will be sufficient to see some good snow chances, but maybe I'm giving our modern climate too much credit.
