Damn near a winter wonderland here this morning. It's the really heavy stuff that sticks to everything. Couldn't ask for much better timing.

Same creek as above but a different location


Much less snow near the lake.

^Beautiful!

Metro Vancouver isn't immune to wind in the winter, but it seems to be far more frequent recently. It looks like we'll get hit with another powerful windstorm during the holidays. Hopefully, it doesn't wreak havoc on the power grid.

Lucky! Many of us out here would love to have a white Christmas rather than a wet one.

Calm before the storm. Christmas and Boxing Day are going to be very wet.

Crackhouses are unusually busy for Christmas morning. So much banging and yelling.

It was colder this morning, I promise. Not quite minus 10 but certainly close.

Merry Christmas from Penetang where it was a white Christmas. Then again, it was at home too for the first time in four years. About three cm I’d guess.

And greetings also from the food basics parking lot in Midland.

Light snow through the morning. It's transitioned to kind of drizzle now. Very grey.

I took Boxing Day literally and have Christmas all put away for another year. November 1 (off on November 11) to December 26, like a normal person? Next year I'll do Christmas Eve to Old Christmas Day like the grandparents used to do, lol.

Edit: It's been steadily raining most of the day now. The bit of snow we had is gone. Sounds lovely but I am excited for a proper blizzard.

So it looks like that outside of coastal B.C., Kamloops, Kelowna, Calgary and southern Alberta, and extreme southern Ontario, everyone had a white Christmas this year?

Probably. It has been a very chilly here since I came back. Non stop cold. We need to get all the cold out of the system and then the remaining winter should be super mild.

-9C (wind chill of -11) this afternoon. Sunny.

Low of -17C (wind chill of -21) this morning. Officially YUL fell to -17.8C which is the coldest temperature recorded in about 22 months (February 25, 2023).

The warmspot was North Cowichan, BC at 11.3C.

Warmest low was Bonilla Island, BC at 7.9C.

It was supposed to be heavy rain and wind on Boxing Day here yet it turned out being mild and sunny!

It’s the second or third time this season they’ve been off about wind in Metro Vancouver, not sure why the misses?

We were really socked in with wind and rain on Christmas Day. I never even went out.
Boxing Day was different. Mostly dry, sunny and calm.

Thursday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 8 C, the low was 6 C.
