Don't worry though. I am sure the cold and wet will return by late March and linger until our first heatdome in June.

Flew into YVR around 10 pm. A wide approach over the Strait. Flew through heavy snow….until we descended into YVR and then it was only drizzle. Pretty cool flying through what felt like a blizzard.
