And only 36 miles from Big White is this. Kelowna’s winter’s are semi-arid:some snow, cool, but a lot of cloud and dull weather. I had to move from my boyhood home of Kelowna to the Fraser Valley on the coast to experience snowfalls >8”.

Bluebird opening days for Meadows and Bachelor! Some of the posts here, you’d think it’s been a terrible start to the season but in reality it’s been absolutely amazing.

My sister in La Crescenta reports a case of the sky-water. Brief but a decent amount. Not a drop here at the coast.

I remember a couple of these very well. November 15, 2005 was a severe outbreak day. I was in Lafayette, IN then and we had a high risk of severe wx, but the northern end of the risk area didn't produce anything. Also recall that storm in 1997. Wasn't a big snow for me, more like a few inches, but it was a wet snow and I remember it knocked a bunch of remaining leaves off the trees. There was significant lake enhancement along the Illinois shore that produced about a foot of snow north of Chicago.

I wonder if anywhere else on earth sees more slushy rain than the PNW
