Well, southern British Columbia is getting hit by a nice blast of arctic air and it is mixing with moisture from the pinapple express resulting in some uncharacteristically large snowfalls.

Here on the North Shore we have about 6 or 8 inches and it is falling like mad today...suposed to stay cold and hang around for awhile.

I hear the Island is getting hit pretty good too - is that the case?

Just a suggestion guys, if you're that concerned about a little bit of snow I wouldn't recommend moving to the East Coast. Just a thought, shovelling snow is simply preparation for a summer of shovelling dirt. Think of it as a winter training program for growing pumpkins.

Boy you guys have it tough!!! LOL
It's snowing here now and the temp is minus 28, with a wind chill of minus 36.
Now that's winter.
Don't mind the cold so much, but the wind is brutal.
