The Weather Network says Metro Vancouver has a 30% chance of snow and/or rain on Monday, but Environment Canada has a bit of a different forecast.

Vancouverites know what that tends to mean: Slush.
But then again, Environment Canada calls for sun, so the day could stay dry.Ā
Either way, itās smart to prepare for snow at the beginning of the week. Dress in layers, pack a pair of sunglasses, and hope for the best.Ā

Both forecasters say temperatures will reach a high of 6Ā°C and a nighttime low of minus 4Ā°C on Monday.
In agreement, they anticipate rain on Saturday but sun on Sunday.Ā
Some amateur meteorologists have taken to Twitter to warn Vancouver residents an arctic blast could be on its way, but this isnāt reflected in either Environment Canada or the Weather Networkās predictions.
Listen up! A full blown arctic blast is expected to effect the BC south coast beginning next Monday. Very cold temperatures may cause any fresh growth on plants or trees to be severely damaged or destroyed. High outflow winds may be damaging and may cause power outages. pic.twitter.com/hwo6ecTHZ4
