I feel your pain, my 9 minute commute turned into a 14 minute ordeal. I was a few minutes late for Judge Judy but I made it though.

Thanks for sharing that. I don't even know what a NOAA is, but I trust your explanation.

Also, #FUSNOW!!
We had 3cm of accumulation in Langley last night. When you have things you need to do, it makes it so much more of a challenge to get around.

National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration

They have an annual operating budget close to $5B USD and it’s probably the most advanced weather and climate organization in the world. Their website looks ghetto AF, but there’s really solid info and I’ve found their predictions are quite reliable (far more reliable than Environment Canada for long-term forecasting).

It just started snowing in Squamish, and we have been getting much less snow than the Lower Mainland this year.

Snowing in Langley.
Woke up for practice at 4:45am and there was no snow. Took a leak, packed my bag and looked out the window again at 5am, and flakes the size of tercels were coming down.

Currently in North Surrey, at low elevation.

In East Van, was out this morning in the area for a dentist appointment then had to go post office from 900-1030 and barely made it home. Got stuck in the London Drugs parking by Joyce for a little bit. All the snow and type of snow we've had so far has been 100% fine with my all seasons but this is the type of snow where they are definitely shit.

Don't sweat it too much. The is coming in from the ocean, and Victoria was hit with it earlier this morning. Talking to my customer in Victoria, and he says it's just wet snowy drizzle now. We should be through this soon. We will survive. Be strong RS, just be strong.

I have to drive from work in Langley to Abbotsford to pick up my son, to Aldergrove to load up car, then drive to catch a ferry at 8:15. If this sticks around. I am writing off all the extra time I gave myself and probably going to be cutting it close.
