oh captain my captain Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 It was snowing a lot about 30 minutes ago here in Burnaby, but it has slowed down now. Everything is white though, including the streets and sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_coolcat Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Helps if you have twitter, you can follow @translink and ask them lot's of questions and they'll tweet everything you need to know. I just signed up on the translink website to receive alerts on my cellphone. It's pretty cool actually, you can input your route and everything so can receive alerts specific to your commute.

ronthecivil Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) The ground's wet and it's cold. But no snow left in East Van . Same deal near BCIT but it's coming down again so hopefully that acts as a nice base! Edit: I must have angered the snow gods as it turned to rain right after I wrote that.

Chris19 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Metro Vancouver 8:45 AM PST Friday 19 November 2010 Snowfall warning for Metro Vancouver issued 5 to 10 cm of snow is expected tonight. This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. A building Arctic ridge of high pressure over the British Columbia interior is producing strong outflow winds through the coastal valleys of the province and as a result cold air has pushed out to the coast. This cold air is forecast to combine with a low pressure system off Vancouver Island tonight to produce the first widespread snowfall of the season.

ronthecivil Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Ah living on the island. It's nice and sunny here right now, enjoy the snow though. :shock:Oh, and your gloating may have angered the snow gods! Summary 5 to 10 cm of snow tonight. This is a warning that significant snowfall is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. Details A building Arctic ridge of high pressure over the British Columbia interior is producing strong outflow winds through the coastal valleys of the province and as a result cold air has pushed out to the coast. This cold air is forecast to combine with a low pressure system off Vancouver Island tonight to produce the first widespread snowfall of the season. 5 to 10 cm of snow is forecast for metro Vancouver, East Vancouver Island, Greater Victoria and the Southern Gulf Islands with the highest amounts over higher terrain. Locally higher amounts are also possible along East Vancouver Island where outflow winds will pick up moisture over the strait of Georgia. The strong northeasterly outflow winds are expected to rise to 90 km/h with gusts to 110 over the Central Coast - coastal sections and up to 70 km/h with gusts to 90 over the southern sections of Howe Sound this evening. The Arctic airmass will also combine with the strong northeasterly outflow winds to produce low windchill values below minus 20 degrees over the inland sections of the north and central coast. The strong winds and cold windchills are expected to moderate later Saturday as the Arctic ridge and the pacific low weaken. :towel:Ocean effect snow for the loss!

Standing_Tall#37 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Have you actually walked in -30 temperatures? You wouldn't be saying that if you did. No but I once worked 9 hours of a 16 hour shift in -37 Because some dumb-fu(k froze our cooling system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
