Meteorologist Peter Vogel has been providing updates on the weather conditions in Metro Vancouver and surrounding areas, including the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. He has been tracking a low-pressure system and the arrival of Arctic air, which has brought extremely cold temperatures to the region. Vogel has also mentioned the impact of winds and waves driven by weather systems in the area. The temperatures have dropped significantly, with readings as low as -35°C in Squamish and -33°C in Hope. The cold snap has affected various locations, including Vancouver, Chilliwack, Whistler, and Squamish. The weather conditions have prompted concerns about frost, frostbite, and the need for protective measures against the cold. Vogel has also highlighted the potential for blizzards and the impact of the Arctic front on the region's weather.
NOAA-19 around 10 AM from a pass almost directly overhead for Metro Vancouver. Rather mundane cold here. Some more action to the south, where @RyanVoutilainen and others are hoping for blizzards. :) @bc_news_addict @ElijahBman #BCstorm @WhidbeyWXGuy @SeattleWXGuy https://t.co/IAxbRVYYfq

Looking across Fraser Valley east of Vancouver this afternoon, approaching sunset. Mount Baker, The Sisters, The Golden Ears. Cold and blustery here but magnificent view. #BCstorm @RyanVoutilainen @KMacTWN @KGordonGlobalBC @JWagstaffe @50ShadesofVan @Weatherman2709 @RandySmall https://t.co/3bx9OlEIPn

The Arctic chill: the big picture. Metro Vancouver is just out of the really chilly temperatures. Note how the cold air pushes well to the south, almost to the US-Mexico border in places. Note the "warm" oasis in Oregon. #BCstorm @RyanVoutilainen @WhidbeyWXGuy @CadiereGerald https://t.co/QZL6CbmCkl

Certainly becoming colder in Metro Vancouver as the Arctic front pushes down here, but nothing like these temperatures. #BCstorm https://t.co/DxTRfRNK80
The morning temperatures were cold - not quite as cold as previous days for most areas - still areas of frost observed in the valleys #socal #cawx - a storm system will mix up the air tonight but bring another cold air mass to the mountains along with some precipitation https://t.co/YgDoX1dL2c
About that Arctic front... #Vancouver #BCstorm https://t.co/RNCupgZr0J
First Alert: A chilly breeze to contend with today, but no rain today. Definitely chilly, with highs mostly in the 40s. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/284x1m7bfm
Late night view from GOES-18 of the low pressure system swirling northwest of Vancouver Island and bringing high winds to coastal areas. Also, in the lower centre, ship "contrails" are visible in the high pressure area off California. #BCstorm @SeattleWXGuy @RyanVoutilainen https://t.co/aSJPZF80gt
Deepening low pressure drawing winds from the southwest onto Vancouver Island. Projection for 9 PM. Around 979 hPa. #BCstorm @WhidbeyWXGuy @RyanVoutilainen @KGordonGlobalBC @FraserVN @bobmackin https://t.co/comiplFyVm
