Fraser Valley, it's your turn tomorrow.
You guys could see up to 20 CM in some areas if this verifies.
Western sections will be less this time, so it's a reversal.
I think Surrey eastward has a chance of doing well tomorrow into Monday.
10 CM for west sections, 20 CM east sections.
Other areas of Metro Van could see 5 - 8 CM

We need to turn that watch into a warning.

So it was ANOTHER hit and miss today. Some areas got 10 CM or slightly more and others saw none. I feel sorry for the northern sections like Maple Ridge which really didn't see anything. They may do better this time round. Things should stay cool enough for snow except maybe at sea level, even there it's a 50/50 call. This storm was really a southern special. It just seems next to impossible to get things in the right spot for widespread snow in the LM. Actually quite a bit of snow fell today and last night it's just that it evaporated before it hit the ground.

A few more chanes this week for higher elevations. Possible reload coming. Winter hanging on for a bit.

Someone mentioned 1996. Yes that was a good yer for snow. The airport was nearly shut down.

Good job WP. Looks like you got this one nailed again. Imo looks slushy for coastal areas..brief snow then rain. Valley gets hammmmmmmered..eastern sections especially. Hope stays snow until Wednesday?

You have enough for 10 years now.

Hope is doing well this year. They could stay snow all week actually. Nicely protected area there.

It's really mind bending when Tofino and Victoria outdo the LM for snowfall amount.

It was a hard forecast. LM was really on the edge (models showed this). There was a tremendous snowfall gradient across Whatcom County. (Sumas apparently got completely screwed.)

Side note, It feels warmer tonight that's for sure.

Isn't there a ride at west Edmonton mall called the Mind Bender?

[WeatherPro]

JrAbby? What is your prediction for the next 2 days?

My thermometer acting like a yoyo tonight, bouncing around between -1.2 and -1.7, currently at the higher end.

The rug-pull-warning avatar has again served its purpose. As with the solstice event, it successfully made the desired snow manifest. Back to my standard avatar… for now.

Are you sure there is enough to push ? Looks like an inch.

We got about 3-1/2 inches out here
