For the final weekend of February, the weather forecast has some good news and bad news for Vancouverites.
Good news?
It’s finally going to warm up again. Locals were taken aback by a little sprinkling of snow this week as windchill made it feel like -10°C.
Now, the special weather statement warning of chilly temperatures for the region has ended.
The weekend forecast from Environment Canada shows highs of 7°C and 8°C, so you might need to ditch the scarf and gloves soon.
