I think something off with my thermo. I have -0.3 but it is melting on the pavement still. Seems like most are 0.3 to -0.3 zone.

Re: February 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
I can report not much is happening here. 0.7c mostly meltingHound wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:07 pm I just got home.. drove from South Surrey.
Here is what I saw.. South Surrey around 24th Ave between 152 to 168th Light dusting of white/snow covering grass and roofs. Nothing on the roads. Driving North along 168th through the farmland, snow was falling but not sticking at all. Once up into the Cloverdale area you could see the snow falling a lot better and grass was white with roofs also being white. Nothing on roads. Temp at 0 through this part. When I got up to 168th and Fraser Highway temp dropped to -1 and snow was sticking to almost everything. Once I hit Tynehead at 96th & 168 and up to Highway 1 snow started sticking to the roads and was coming down decently. When I finally got to my area snow was sticking to the road turning it white at -1. So again, Guildford the coldest and snowiest part of Surrey. Mind you I don't know what was happening in Newton.
Currently snowing at -0.8 DP: -2 According to the fence top, I can guess about 1cm has accumulated. So far this has under-performed unless the goods are still coming.

Re: February 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
Yeah, these conditions are a good test for accuracy. Temp usually seems to hover right near freezing when it's borderline like this.
Mine is bouncing between 0.0C and -0.1C... seems about right. The nearest station to me is showing -0.5C, which doesn't seem right since the snow is pretty slushy, but who knows.

I think we're gonna end the night at 1 cm. It looks like it's gonna change to rain soon.

Re: February 2024 Forecasts and Discussions
Was it really a bust? The grass and rooftops were covered, and up until 6 everything was going well, with the early slug of moisture enough to drop temps. Precip rates were just too light with the evening wave.
Also, does anyone else think the snowfall warning criteria is too granular? 5 cm in 6 hours could literally be a snow shower. Make it 10 cm in 12 hours like the rest of the country and put out generic weather advisories for lesser snowfalls like how Toronto does it.
