Nope, just a couple of times a day so not a huge effort.

low of -5 overnight
currently -1.2 and warming rapidly, a few whiffs of clouds.

EC 40% chance of snow for tonight! Bring it on. Hopefully it'll still be light out when it falls.

It was colder in Fraser Valley than the most northern community in the Yukon today (Old Crow).

12z RGEM and 18z 3km NAM are both showing some flurries across the South Coast this evening. Maybe we can squeeze out a dusting/cm or 2 in some places :think:

Snow sticks better when it’s dark 😉

Yea it’s looking like the flurries should be pretty widespread. I expect someone will get a couple cms

I would like a #surprise snow band training over my home, like what happened on Dec 30th (OK the snow wasn’t a surprise, but the overall amount exceeded my expectations). I won’t even complain if the amount is more like 5 cm this time as opposed to 20+ cm.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Just 1.5 cm until I hit 70 which for some reason feels like an exciting benchmark.

I guess gusts to 80kmh plus with -1c temps day and -5c overnight didn't count as a need for one. :roll:
Not cold enough for an arctic outflow warning. The wind chill only hit -14C or -15C in Hope. Needs to be at least -20C for a warning. Definitely borderline for a wind warning though, especially Monday night/Tuesday.

You’re ahead of me by about 10 cm. I think being on the windward side of Little Mountain helps you.

Decent.

I'm hoping we get one last shot at winter to break the monotony before we head into spring.
Some snow PLEASE!
