The last three days have been crazy. I don't think I've ever checked the weather this often (hourly) to see what we might see next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Pavel_Bure 10 said: Do you guys no how many cm dropped that year? 2008 snowstorm in Vancouver, per Wikipedia: Quote The series of snowstorms broke a 44-year-old record for the snowiest Christmas ever, with up to 28 inches (71 cm) of snow accumulated in some parts of the South Coast. It was the first "official" white Christmas in Vancouver since 1998. In fact, Vancouver would be the Canadian city with the greatest snow depth for the Christmas Day of 2008. Vancouver experienced many snowfalls including snowstorms on December 21st and on the 24th, breaking daily snowfall records. Vancouver International Airport recorded 22.4 centimeters (9 in) and 26.8 centimeters (11 in) on the 21st and on the 24th respectively. Higher elevations and cities northeast of Vancouver, such as Coquitlam, received over 30 centimeters (12 in) of snow with each of the storms. The snow, however, was also accompanied by frigid temperatures such as the −15.2 °C (5 °F) on the 20th, which broke the daily low temperature record at the airport which is situated at sea level. It happened to be the coldest temperature recorded in December for 40 years; dating back to the −17.8 °C (0 °F) on the 29th in 1968. Another snowstorm on the 26th brought an additional 15.6 centimeters (6 in) of snow at the airport, which led to some roof collapses. When recorded, the monthly snowfall for December stood at an astonishing near 90 centimeters (35 in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
