If you add up the estimates for each day — we could end up with 25 cm of snow on the ground before this system moves through.

While it may snow over the next week, what can we expect for Christmas Day? At this point, there is a chance we could have a white Christmas.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s meteorologist Bobby Sekhon, a white Christmas this year is not out of the question.
Statistics collected from ECCC show that from 1997 to 2021 there’s been about an 8% chance it snows on Christmas in Vancouver.
