Dang, I just went above freezing... 0.1C. I was NOT expecting that today. I forgot about the effects of solar in mid February even with cloudy skies.

Better go outside and measure now...

Completely stopped. Sitting at 8cm
Not bad considering the models were showing nothing a couple days ago. Get some more tomorrow and February will save the season again.

That is a bit strange! 0.2C now.

Just measured 3 cm. About what I was expecting for here.

May score a little bit more but that's probably close to what the overall total will end up being.

Neighborhoods in the hills are reporting more like 20 cm. So my Reddit forecast of 15–20 cm for Bellingham looks like it will be spot-on!
Of course, I type that and it picks up again. Temperature is up to -2ËšC, dew point -4ËšC. Wind is less and it is coming down in larger flakes. Really looks photogenic. Probed for where I left my snow board, located it, put it up on top, and am using it now. 2 more cm, so now 18 cm total and still coming down.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Weird. Still -2ËšC here. My guess is that the falling snow is evaporating and helping to hold my temps down.

Despite it being overcast and below freezing, there is melting evident on the parked cars here. Apparently an appreciable amount of solar radiation is making it through.

Malahat highway station is showing 23cm overnight and 17 so far today. I’m not at home but we were at about 23 when I left at 930. Been snowing lightly since then

Interesting... looks like most stations up here are right at freezing.
