December 20, 2022, is officially the snowiest December 20 in Vancouver history.
Vancouver Weather Records predicted yesterday that the city could be on the path to breaking a record:

And it accomplished that feat today:

That means that today is the snowiest December 20 in 84 years. Not only was it the snowiest December 20 since records began, but today was also the snowiest day for Vancouver overall in 14 years (since Christmas Eve 2008).
With Vancouver seeing consecutive days of 10 cm or more, the recent dusting the city received moves it into sixth place all-time for the most snow in any year since records began.
Today was #Vancouver‘s 3rd day with at least 10cm of snow this year which raises 2022 from 11th to 6th place for the most in any year since records began. Just 1 more day to get to 4th place. #BCWx #YvrWx pic.twitter.com/bgoG7AgJPs
