New snow on the Shore

[stuart@nsmb.com]

Well, it seems that the crappy weather we had last night (rain/thunder/lightning) has also dumped some snow on the Shore.

I'm looking out my office window at the mountain immediately to the west of the Grouse tram (whatever it is), and there's fresh snow about half-way down the hill.

Don't know what that means for riding because it's hard to tell how much accumulation there is, but I'm guessing there will be snow on the upper parts of Fromme and Seymour for sure. Maybe even a couple of centimetres at the top, from the looks of it.

Just when you thought it was safe to put away those fenders...

This afternoon is was raining on Seymour, then it started snowing, and then hailing. Clouds opened up to the south so some sun shined through, then there were a few very good sized thunder claps, one of which was VERY loud. Between last night and this afternoon, there was were more sheet lightning then the whole last year.
