Usually it doesn't apply to Richmond.

But since the temperature has been below freezing... Richmond is going to get hit again.

I was looking at the geography. Since Victoria and the Gulf Islands are specifically mentioned, chances are that the southern part of Metro Vancouver will get hit.

I was out at Capilano Lake and Burnaby Mountain yesterday, and neither were as cold as Richmond.
