Winter arrived with a vengeance late Saturday afternoon when the first flakes began drifting down.

“Within hours, a thick blanket of snow covered the city and, by the time all was said and done Sunday morning, a daily record of 9.2 centimetres had come down,” says reporter Jason Hewlett.

“The previous daily record of 8.8 cm fell on Jan. 14, 2000.”

With below-seasonal temperatures and more snow in the forecast for the next several days. the record snowfall is just the tip of the iceberg, says Hewlett.

    Here in South Central Washington, just east of the Cascades we got well over 3′ in about 1.5 days! Looks like we’re getting a needed break at this moment.

    Snow depths do vary here, some years almost nothing, other years up to 5′ for the season, but not this much in such a short period of time.

    Our temps have warmed up to 20 degrees, so feels great!
