Lower Mainland Weather Central
From the Weather Network for Vancouver:
From Sunday Overnight to Monday Evening we expect 5-10cm of snow and 5-10mm of rain. Oh I can only hope... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7/01b0a7c6.jpg |
snow sucks unless on mountains or hills.
|
snow at higher elevations they said on the noon news
and sea level will see rain or sleet i have no idea where burnaby sits it might see both |
we're getting chunky rain in richmond as of 430pm today
|
nothing here but rain (Burnaby brentwood mall areA)
|
It snowed for a bit around UBC then switched over to rain. There's a bit of slush on the ground.
In my opinion this is about one month early. |
it's a bit messy out here in UBC, a lot of slush and it's raining wet snow.
|
it turned from rain to snow about 3:00pm this afternoon over here in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, shoudl stay that way overnight as another cold front is moving in.
|
i got close to 5 cm in about 1 hour near my place near horseshoe bay...it was crazy for about an hour before it turned back into slush at around 715. The strange thing is that it seems everywhere else is fine, when i was driving west along the upper levels it wasnt even raining untill i got to the eagleridge construction, then it was suddenly like a blizzard.
|
it looks like snow but its mostly rain over here
the roads are wet but not freezing sounds like Abbotsford and the valley are having it tough - and south surrey and white rock have been hit with snow, black ice and they says one stretch of king george hwy has cars all over in the ditches good times |
i remember a year ago(last monday of november) ubc was closed due to a power outage caused by the SNOW!
|
yes we had a big snow dump on november 25/26th
thats the day i went to work on skytrain i only know that cause i made a video for youtube - lol - and thats when it was uploaded |
I just got home from Hong Kong yesterday where it was 30c. I had a nap around noon and when I woke up there were 5cm of snow on the ground here in White Rock. I had forgotten it was winter. I like the snow though.

apparently new west was looking like a winter wonderland |
get ready for some hardcore cold & snow this weekend. it's not really showing up on the local forecasts quite yet.... but if you take a peek at some other websites you'll see what's coming :banana:
|
its suppossed to get really cold like below zero
|
it's -1c in Vancouver right now at 11 pm....if only we had percipitation right now, which would equate to snow!!!! there's a possibility, depending on conditions on monday, that ubc will close....nevermind sfu, it would be fun to see the buses go up the hill however. :D
|
it was sort of snowing when i crossed the port mann around 10:30
nothing heavy just the odd flake |
maybe... just maybe ... they'll be right this time. blaine washington is forecast to get 5-10cms of snow, so I would lean towards that for the metro area.....
----------------- Greater Vancouver 3:25 PM PST Friday 30 November 2007 Snowfall warning for Greater Vancouver issued Snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm over east and Inland Vancouver Island and 5 to 15 cm elsewhere by Sunday morning. This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A low pressure system will develop just offshore of Vancouver Island tonight. It will combine with cool Arctic air to produce snow over most areas of the south coast Saturday through Sunday morning. Strong easterly outflow winds through the mainland inlets will help to enhance precipitation over the eastern side and inland sections of Vancouver Island where snowfall accumulations of 15 to 25 cm are expected by Sunday morning. Elsewhere snow amounts of 5 to 15 cm can be expected. |
i'm hoping for a good foot of snow, I need to practice my winter driving. problem is that the bottom storey of my house is right at sea level, as such substantially warmer than even just 50 feet up. often there will be snow in the trees and on my roof, but none on the ground.
|
i hope it keeps snowing into monday....finals are killing me.
|
Suck it up. Post on here less and study more. :P
although i agree with the hope for snow on Monday. passing the 30cm mark would be nice. |

thankfully, my first exam isn't until next next monday. i want a snow day just for the heck of it! |
Two days of snow heading our way
Gerry Bellett, Vancouver Sun Published: Friday, November 30, 2007 VANCOUVER - The weather man is promising Lower Mainland residents an interesting weekend with snow in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, followed by a rapid rise in temperatures with high winds and lots of rain early next week. Environment Canada issued snow warnings late today as an anticipated five to 10 centimetres of snow was expected in the Vancouver area over the weekend, with snow beginning late Saturday. Temperatures will remain at around zero before rising to about 4 C as snow turns to rain Sunday afternoon. Monday will see a warming trend continue, with temperatures peaking at about 12 C as a front containing subtropical moisture moves across the southern parts of the province. The weather office said it expects to post a storm warning for Monday, with winds of 40 kilometres an hour to 60 km/h expected in the Vancouver area later in the day, combined with heavy rain. The storm will punch its way through the Fraser Valley and into the Interior and could bring freezing rain to parts of those areas overnight Monday. On Tuesday, the weather is expected to be mild with showery conditions. Vancouver and other cities in the region have made plans to deal with what is promising to be the year's first large snowfall. Vancouver has called in 14 truck drivers to begin work at 7 a.m. Saturday salting roads, especially around hospitals and in steep sections of the city. Crews have been salting streets since the weather turned cold, said Murray Wightman, the city's manager for streets. "We'll have a full shift change overnight Saturday to keep on top of things and to clear whatever snow we have to deal with," said Wightman. In Burnaby, works crews were loading up the city's 11 salt trucks today, and road crews were given notice they will likely be called out to clear roads. Richmond will have some road crews come in over the weekend to salt roads ahead of the snowfall, said Suzanne Bycraft, an official with the city's emergency response program. "We'll salt first. Then if the snow builds up, we'll put the plows out," Bycraft said. [email protected] |

Flood warning issued for Metro Vancouver
Sunny Freeman, The Vancouver Sun Published: Saturday, December 01, 2007 METRO VANCOUVER - Officials issued a flood watch Sunday as a perfect storm of torrential rains, melting snow and heavy winds was forecast to wreak havoc on rivers, sewers and trees across the Lower Mainland until Tuesday. A "pineapple express" system of subtropical air from Hawaii was projected to usher in warm moist air and heavy rainfall Sunday night, meaning that river levels are expected to rise and may exceed river banks, B.C. Minister of the Environment Barry Penner said Sunday. Environment Canada on Sunday issued high-rainfall warnings for Greater Vancouver, Howe Sound and the western Fraser Valley. Rainfall levels were projected to reach 80 millimetres in Greater Vancouver between Sunday night and Tuesday morning, said John McIntyre, forecaster for Environment Canada. A rapid rise in temperature, set to reach an unseasonable 12 degrees today, compounds the risk of flooding because precipitation sitting on the ground in the form of snow will turn into water, McIntyre said. A low-pressure system combined with cold air from the Interior brought six centimetres of snow overnight Saturday in the Greater Vancouver region, said McIntyre. Skiers and snowboarders in Whistler woke up to a 16 centimetre snow dump overnight Saturday, covering the mountain in a 110-centimetre snow base. Some communities on Vancouver Island saw as much as 40 centimetres of snow Sunday. As heavy snowfall transformed the Lower Mainland into a Winter Wonderland Sunday, transit officials said they were excited to see the precipitation turn back to Vancouver's familiar rain late Sunday. "I never thought I'd say this in Vancouver," said TransLink spokesman Drew Snider. "But, I'm looking forward to the rain." Throughout the weekend, trolley buses had problems coping on routes with hills and higher elevations, getting stuck and stalling in the snow. The SkyTrain system experienced false alarms on the platform triggered by the heavy snow. Police checked cars for snow tires on the Sea to Sky Highway, issuing fines and turning people back if their tires did not have the proper 3.5-millimetre tread, said Whistler RCMP spokesman Cpl. Joe Leeson. On Saturday, the snow delayed departures at YVR by about 15 minutes. But there were no delays on Sunday departures due to winter conditions, said Diana Barkely, director of communications for Vancouver Airport Authority. All runways were operational, but Barkely said there were delays on arriving flights due to stormy weather conditions in cities across the continent. Many regions across Canada are experiencing stormy winter weather, with major storm systems battering Ontario and the Maritimes as well as the West Coast. Weather warnings were still in place Sunday night for much of B.C., Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, with snow and severe weather expected across the country. [email protected] |

^ it shouldn't be called global warming, climate change is more proper.
