Spring weather has been a bit of a roller coaster ride in April, to say the least, as Vancouver was hit with both snow and hail in the last week.
Several other BC spots saw long-standing temperature records broken yesterday, including Terrace and Williams Lake. Terrace hit a new record of -5.6Ā°C yesterday, which bested a record temperature of -5.0Ā°C dating back to 1945. The record established in Williams Lake yesterday was -11.6Ā°C, beating a record of -8.4Ā°C set in 1984.
According to the latest forecast from Environment Canada, the wet and cold weather is going to stick around for at least a couple more nights, with some clear breaks on Saturday and Sunday, before heading into another period of precipitation.

The 14-day trend on The Weather Network largely reflects the same pattern, with lots of rain and some sunny breaks.
