So much for April showers. Today, Metro Vancouver dealt with snow and hail storms and sporadic moments of sun, wind, and thunder.
Snow turned to hail, then back to snow, then into rain throughout the morning and afternoon.
Pretty darn snowy up Burnaby Mountain at @SFU. It’s quite the feat for mid-April. #BCSnow pic.twitter.com/UoJmp5bSCz

It certainly looked like rough weather on the horizon as black clouds hung over the city.
Not the best day for nice #cumulonimbus cloud captures but this mess did just produce lightning over #Burnaby #BC ā meanwhile, weāre not even at maximal daytime heating yet. Itāll continue to be a busy weather day in #Vancouver & the coast.#ShareYourWeather #BCstorm #YVRwx pic.twitter.com/Q7gfEBI4Kj

With Mother Nature feeling so hot and cold, itās hard to know how to dress. Make sure youāre layering up before leaving the house, and bring an umbrella!
