We only got about 3cm total in Metrotown, thank goodness, i am still waiting for December's snow to melt in the shaded areas!

Looks like 6 more weeks of winter.

I don't mind winter, but there is no damn snow on the mountains! So basically 6 more weeks of low temps. That doesn't excite, although spring is almost here

Snow could be on the way for parts of Metro Vancouver, southwestern B.C.

METRO VANCOUVER - Higher elevations of Metro Vancouver could see snow Wednesday evening and Squamish and the eastern Fraser Valley are expected to be sprinkled with the white stuff, according to GlobalBC meterorologist Mark Madryga.

"Tomorrow night freezing levels will come down and the higher suburbs could see some accumulations," said Madryga this morning.

"It probably won't snow in the city but it's still a ways away," he cautioned.

Madryga was more certain about places like Squamish, Hope, and Chilliwack receiving snow.

According to Environment Canada Chilliwack can expect rain changing to snow late Wednesday with accumulations of four centimetres.

Madryga said there's a slight chance the area could see up to ten centimetres.

To the north of Vancouver Environment Canada says Squamish can expect five to 10 centimetres of snow on Wednesday.

Temperatures are expected to hover just above freezing meaning snow may be mixed with rain at times.

High winds for Howe Sound are also expected.

Whistler can expect periods of snow starting tonight, according to Environment Canada.

Scattered showers or flurries are expected across the region Thursday with a clearing trend for the weekend.

That says nothing about snow for most of Vancouver... Squamish or the BPs getting snow in February is hardly surprising.

SpongeG · #**406** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 4:07 AM**

sfu snow day?

DKaz · #**407** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 4:27 AM**

Aw frick are you serious. Couldn't the snow wait until AFTER the weekend??? Environment Canada doesn't note any snow whatsoever. The weather warning is coming from The Weather Network and they're notoriously horrible with their weather reports.

I'm going to the states for a car club meet and I was hoping I could do without the winter tires to after. Boo. Here's to spending another hour changing my wheels back to winters.

Well, we finally got rid of it, and now the white fucking bullshit is falling again in Metrotown, i really hate this year and its fucking bullshit snow.

Stingray2004 · #**409** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 9:57 PM**

I decided to stay at my home office today because of the forecast.

It's a winter wonderland down here in White Rock right now and some of the snowflakes look like they're 2 inches in width. It's pretty heavy stuff.

Global warming (probably more correctly termed as climate change) has been causing Vancouver to get more snow, it was bad in 2006/07, eased off slightly last winter, and this year we're being hit even harder.

SpongeG · #**420** Posted **Feb 26, 2009, 12:57 AM**

the farmers almanac last summer predicted vancouver would get more snow than usual
