-0.5°C Vancouver YVR, first frost of the month and only the second of the season!

In any case, December 2025 will be one of the warmest Decembers ever recorded [top 3].
2024 was the 6th warmest, 2023 the 2nd...

PS: Highway 3 is open! :thumbup:

Brisk cold front passes through the area tomorrow with showers and NW winds, clearing overnight into Saturday morning with a hard freeze possible. Breezy outflow on Saturday, drawing from the modified arctic airmass moving into the southern interior. Lots of sunshine and highs in the 1-3c range for most of the Lower Mainland. :thumbup:

Low 1.9C here, looks like I'm ending the year without a single freeze unless a miracle happens on Friday night.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Other than for Monty, I think snow is out of reach today.

Pretty confident you'll see a freeze on Friday and/or Saturday night(s). :thumbup:

Merry Christmas everyone!
It's currently -8.0C with a windchill of -18C in Ottawa. Snow depth around 17cm. I don't want to wait until the spring of 2027 to move here. :arrow: :wave:

What are the chances of a stray snow flurry somewhere Saturday into Sunday? :think:

Good in the far Eastern Valley where I think they could pick up 2cm. Much like yesterday, the 'moisture cuts off before the cold air arrives ®' and the brisk NW winds will immediately dry us out.
