Statements
10:54 AM PST Monday 03 February 2020
Special weather statement in effect for:

Fraser Valley - central including Chilliwack
Fraser Valley - east including Hope
Fraser Valley - west including Abbotsford
Significant Snow on Tuesday.

A favourable set up for widespread low elevation snow over the south coast is shaping up for Tuesday and Tuesday night. A front will track down the BC coast beginning Tuesday morning and combine with a cool airmass to produce snow across the lowlands.

Snowfall amounts will vary significantly across the region. The air will be cool, but not truly Arctic, so snowfall amounts will vary with proximity to the water, elevation and intensity of precipitation.

Anywhere from 5 to 20 cm of heavy, wet snow is expected. The highest amounts are likely over Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley where the snow will persist the longest, until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Warmer air will arrive faster over Vancouver Island and the transition to rain there will start Tuesday afternoon.

Precipitation should be rain everywhere across the south coast lowlands by Wednesday as a flow of milder Pacific air returns.

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

Well PoCo is inland so could still be in the 10cm range in my opinion. :thumbup:

That' sounds positive, much better than EC with rain coming in the afternoon.

SWS statement up for the Sunshine Coast.

Sunshine Coast - Gibsons to Earls Cove
Sunshine Coast - Saltery Bay to Powell River

Hello from Mexico weather friends. Sorry to be missing the snow tomorrow :( I need all your expertise and predictive skills. I have a friend who needs to be at VGH tomorrow morning by 7. She’s driving from Caulfield in West Van. Could stay in town tonight, but would rather stay at home if she can.

So what do you think? Safe to drive from West Van to VGH at 6 AM tomorrow morning?
