I'm doing great, thanks for asking! My wife is due any day now, we are super excited.

Congrats!

You can see the HRDPS has a ribbon of snow that is stationary and just unloads over metro Van.

Will be really important to see Sunday morning where this actually sets up because those areas will be the big winners.

I think north and west has been favoured the most of what I’ve seen on these maps. For Vancouver to have 16 cm by Sunday noon they’d be setting up for massive totals.

I always have confidence my area will score here but you never know. I think even the losers will get 10-15 at least which is still fantastic.

Racing to the hospital in a snowstorm. Now that’d be a fun story you could tell the child when they’re older!

Congrats! Hope all goes well.

Cold spring ahead? Would make sense

For sure. I just don't think we should discount the Euro, which continues to show the heavy snow extending into the Fraser Valley.

I second Snow extending into the FV

Hey if anyone near Port Moody is looking for something to do while we wait for the big show on Sunday, I’m performing a tribute to Elton John at Wings

Yummy… Wings. I go there quite often. Not tonight though, sorry!

Good luck with the show.

Not sure if this was posted yet. Here's the 4:47 package

4:47 PM PST Friday 31 January 2025

Snow, blowing snow and Arctic outflow conditions

Where: Vancouver Island & Southern Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound, Whistler, Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley.

When: Now into next week.

Remarks: A wintry mix of weather conditions is expected to impact the South Coast of BC over the next several days.

Tonight:
A cold front will move across the region late this afternoon and early this evening. Some areas such as East Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast will see a quick burst of heavy snow with the passage of the cold front. Be advised for sudden changes in road conditions and visibility. Temperatures will fall to near or below zero tonight resulting in slippery conditions as the wet ground from recent rain or snow freezes.

Weekend:
Heavy flurries and cold temperatures this weekend as arctic air invades the region and an upper low brings the moisture. Be advised for sudden reduction in visibility in convective flurries if travelling around the south coast this weekend. Accumulations are uncertain at this time as it will depend where the flurries develop but accumulating snow is likely in many areas this weekend. Warnings will be issued as necessary.

Next week:
Very cold and dry air is expected over the South Coast with outflow conditions from an arctic ridge of high pressure settling over the region. Temperatures will be 5 to 8 degrees Celsius below seasonal. Blowing snow is possible through the Fraser Valley with recent snowfall. Watch for accumulating snow over southern Vancouver Island from Qualicum Beach to the Saanich Peninsula early next week. Strong outflow winds will result in cold wind chills.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.
In effect for:

Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley
