There it is.

Send a photo once there's a lot of snow on the ground. Would love to see it

[Catnip]

YVR canceled 60 flights today.

Bono is on snow watch! They had to lighten his workload.

[Bonovox]

For mere flurries. LOL.

Not just for mere flurries. Lots of factors involved.

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

It will become very problematic very soon. See SeaTac, it's a complete Sh*t show

Yeah, but at KSEA it became a sh*t snow after the snow started sticking.

So they should for the snow to stick? I was in airplane on the the runway for 8 hours waiting to take off. It's not fun.

Once the heavier stuff gets close, I would say it is time to cancel flights. Seems a little silly to cancel them when they could just take off, no deicing needed.

[Pomoman]

Well it’s picked up a lot now. Solid light snow moving to moderate

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

Radar shows heavier stuff starting to move in. It's really picked up the pace here in Gastown in the last several minutes.

Why are we fighting?

Go outside and play in the snow.

They probably canceled afternoon/evening flights in advance, they don't want to overwhelmed the system, accommodating passengers and a lot of other factors like Bono mentioned. Very wise decision if you ask me.

Mate, I work in the tower at YVR. Don’t make bold statements about things you may not appreciate. While KSEA is busier than YVR, YVR has far more flights that fly into remote airports across BC in light twin airplanes that are not able to operate in those conditions today. Secondly, YVR has far more flights that must operate in VFR conditions. Can’t do that today. Finally, YVR the airport itself is not laid out for high volume deice operations. That’s on the airport authority, but it is a fact. Airlines are prudent to cancel those flights to better position their aircraft for recovery operations tomorrow.

I am happy to report it is happening here in Pitt Meadows . It's light and fluffy and not heavy, but hey, I'll take it!
