The recent weather in Metro Vancouver and surrounding areas has been unusually cold, with temperatures as low as -35°C in Squamish and wind chills of -67°F in Edmonton, Alberta. The region is bracing for a major snowfall, with forecasts predicting 10 to 35 cm of snow across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The ECMWF/Windy.tv projections have caused concern, with some anticipating a 'snowmageddon' and others expecting the forecasts to change. The situation is being closely monitored by meteorologists and weather enthusiasts.
Breakfast while studying the latest "Vlad". The red and pink indicates a forecast of up to 35 cm of snow for Metro Vancouver. A true #snowmageddon for here. #BCstorm @vlad_rad @RyanVoutilainen @bc_news_addict @ensembleator @ElijahBman @50ShadesofVan @HowesNathan @Weatherman2709 https://t.co/xmFLFlKrAx
Duister view across the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver ahead of an anticipated major snowfall starting later today. #bcstorm @vlad_rad @bc_news_addict @RyanVoutilainen @ElijahBman @FraserVN @MMadryga https://t.co/qAF5DeFfeI
Why not? Another one. Everyone wants to wake up to a snowfall projection map that shows around 30 cm across much of Metro Vancouver. #BCstorm Other forecasts are a little more muted. :) https://t.co/ohIMCtGXLx
One more for the Metro Vancouver snowfall of the year. Still calling for 10 to 30 cm #snow across the region into Wednesday. Projection as at 0000 UTC / 4 PM PST. Likely a doozy. @jodyvance @FraserVN @bobmackin https://t.co/ph8Z8ZEb75
Yet another look at anticipated snowfall for Metro Vancouver and beyond over next three days. Via ECMWF/Windy.tv. Calling for 20-30 cm #snow. Nothing for Seattle. Expect these forecasts to change. #BCstorm @bc_news_addict @bobmackin @50ShadesofVan @RyanVoutilainen @ElijahBman https://t.co/OufY1KKciB
Here's a look ahead (to Wednesday 8 AM) via ECMWF/Windy.tv at the low pressure system giving forecasters conniptions and leading to suggestions of 30 cm of snowfall across Metro Vancouver. Unlikely! #BCstorm @ElijahBman @bc_news_addict @FraserVN @RyanVoutilainen @Weatherman2709 https://t.co/231QYGrZZI
Well, there are forecasts and there are other forecasts. 33 cm of snow in Metro Vancouver. #Snowmaggedon https://t.co/9djEdtASVL
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
