The forecast overnight is what you’d come up with if you asked yourself, “What’s the worst combination of weather Vancouverites would fear to see in winter?”
- snow starting in the afternoon, ranging from 10-40 cm depending on location
- snow changing to freezing rain overnight or becoming the even more delightful-sounding “ice pellets”
- as temperatures rise the freezing rain changes to regular rain (with 10-40 cm of fresh snow on top of a huge dump of existing snow)
- oh, and winds up to 70 km/h
To be followed by a slushpocalypse, local flooding and general despair over whether we will see sunny, warm days ever again.
Still, if this is the last of the winter weather, I’ll grit my teeth and makes plans for running at Burnaby Lake sometime in March. If it snows in March I will be very cross.
