If you thought it was too cold now, temperatures are expected to get even colder in Vancouver over the next couple of weeks, with more snow and winter-like weather in the cards.
Vancouver is seeing winter weather it hasn’t seen in over 70 years.
While Vancouver didn’t see much snow overnight, November 8 is technically the snowiest day since 1945.

Another feat the city achieved, according to Vancouver Weather Records, is the snow Vancouver saw earlier this week was the earliest the city has seen measurable snow since October 28, 1991!
Last night I was feeling curmudgeonly about the snow but look at this glorious winter wonderland 🤩 #Vancouver

Getting #Calgary vibes this AM w/ the #snow covering the #deciduous #trees that still had their foliage, some still green. It was near 20°C only 3wks & a couple days ago, the air filled with forest fire smoke w/ a drought! #ShareYourWeather #BCsnow #BCstorm #Vancouver #YVRwx pic.twitter.com/97THMOTi3z

So layer up, Vancouver. This cold burst of winter weather is likely only the beginning.
