The Weather Network: Biggest snowfall accumulations on the planet will be in BC this weekend
Parts of BC will receive some of the biggest snowfall accumulations on the planet over the next few days.
According to The Weather Network, a low-pressure system brewing to the west of Vancouver Island could dump up to 200 cm of snow on the highest terrain of the coastal mountains.

Whistler, Squamish, and most of northern BC and Vancouver Island will be hit hard by the storm. However, conditions for Vancouver will remain mild and rainy.
If you’re looking for a weekend getaway to the island or Whistler that isn’t snow related, it’s probably best to rethink those plans!
