Olive1010 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Above freezing snow is crappy, but its cool to look at when its heavy, but below freezing snow is good.

Meatyorologist Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Looks like plenty of potential for wet snow in the north interior/lower mainland this coming week. Multiple situations where fronts landing onshore benefit enough from isentropic lift to overcome downsloping off Vancouver Island, allowing for heavy precipitation that lowers snow levels while sfc gradients remain weakly offshore due to the incoming lows. Classic setups. Usually occurs a few times a winter, but it could happen multiple times this *week*. 6 Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the main band is starting to move S overall and the precip in the central/south Puget sound is starting to wrap up. Light rain now but looks like your window is now starting to open up. Really fun afternoon here hopefully you can score too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
