This sounds like a big oof for the Valley. Glad the city doesn't have to deal with that. I think.

At face value, I think even Vancouver would not avoid at least some ZR in that scenario. Wouldn't be nearly as bad as the valley though.

I figured probably a couple mm, but I think Vancouver's geography doesn't favour ZR so here's hoping.

Yeah it's fairly rare. For Vancouver proper especially. Even out here it's not that common either.

Though I do remember parts of the city saw decent amounts of ice in January 2004, December 1996, and December 1995. I think Jan 1979 and Dec 1968 had notable events too, if anyone remembers those ones.

Wow, I had a high of -6.5C! :pinea: :pinea: :pinea:

Still -8.3C at YXX. They've been running colder than me ever since yesterday afternoon, but I was colder than them for the first three days of the event. :think:

Thanks for the update. :thumbup:

Looks like it might be starting to freeze up near the edges? Will be cool to see how much more concentrated the ice floes/chunks get on the river over the coming days, and if it will start freezing up in spots.

Just had a little ZR here last week.
It's called clown range for a reason.
