The January 18/19th, 1943 snowstorm was pretty epic as well, especially for the valley.

75-100cm+ of snow in Hope, 60cm+ in Agassiz, 60-100cm in Chilliwack, 50-70cm in Mission, 40-50cm in Abbotsford, 40-60cm in Coquitlam, 40cm in New Westminster, 50-60cm in North Vancouver and 35-45cm in downtown Vancouver.

Not sure what the setup was exactly but it seems like a colder version of the late November 2006 event. Temperatures hovered between -1c and -10c for the duration of the storm in Metro Vancouver and between -4c and -14c in the valley. In the following days, YVR recorded a high of -10c and lows dipping to -16c.

Lucky I didn't get stuck (and I have AWD with Blizzaks), it was stupidly wet and heavy snow. :think:

Really puts into perspective how dull our weather is around here most of the time. Yawn. That said I am grateful we don’t experience true extreme events such as tornadoes. But a little excitement would be nice.

EC is calling for rain except snow (not wet apparently) over higher elevations tomorrow evening.

We’ll see.
Burnaby Mountain @ 365 m..

Stats? Fresh out of those. But I win anyway. I got all the inches.

Honestly I wouldn't mind a few tornadoes every few years.

The weather here is insanely boring. The most non-boring weather here is snow and we know how often it snows here. It's just how it is in he lower mainland.

Unfortunately the 2017 forecast was a huge bust as it rained instead of snowed and then was dry.
