Snow is starting to fall on the Island.

Looks like the winds have switch to SW.

925mb temps look to warm above freezing before the moisture arrives.

Still getting outflow here, though temp is no longer dropping. Just holding steady at the high for the day, -3ËšC. DP still nice and low. If the upper levels warm, but the outflow persists, ice storm?

Kristie Gordon says reports of flakes flying in Victoria. Maybe reach here in a couple of hours?

Typer, Global going with 1cm for Coquitlam by tomorrow evening.

Did Sheriff Goose commission that forecast? I think he was calling for 0.0005cm earlier this morning.

Sorry Rubus, that was just a rib at Nito.

He usually like to pop in with that line right before the snow start flying.

Reporting in from Shawnigan Lake North End near Monty prob. I'm here for work, just started snowing, tiny swirling flakes! Maybe snowed in for days and I'm ok with that!!

Thank you for the report Zone8, how's Zone9 looking?

Correct. Virga until late Sunday. Very impulse of moisture arrives early Monday and it begins puking snow before changing to rain. It reaches +12C by Monday afternoon.

Only 12c? Why not forecast a more Nito-approved 18c?

Unfortunately the ice isn't thick enough for skating at the Fen. We ended up walking instead. Some open water still and ice thickness maybe 1" to 2" max.
