SNOWFALL WARNING: Greater Vancouver



Arctic outflow is continuing to wreak havoc in Southern BC. Heavy snow and strong winds are forecast for Saturday night and all day Sunday.
Snow is expected to start falling early Saturday evening on West Vancouver Island. The lower mainland will see snow later in the evening. The snow should taper off by Sunday evening.
The winds will be strong enough to cause blowing snow and whiteout conditions. Drivers should exercise caution.


Good day to stay inside and make others come to your house for an early Christmas dinner. Suckers.

  13. I complain about living in the swamp climate here in Louisiana, but not in winter, and never when you see snowfall like that! Bundle up and light a fire.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ertha Kitt's "Santa Baby" is my fave!

    (I won't brag about the 78+ degree afternoon here. Wait, yes I will!) Smooches from the blinding sunshine!

  15. I'm not sure I want to come up there and be your neighbor. That's some snow, baby.

    ReplyDelete

  17. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. You're going to turn into a Dumbassicle.

  18. After I googled how many inches that would really be, crap that is still a lot of snow. My mom and stepdad just left Western Washington yesterday to come down here. Sounds like just in time.

    Bundle up, light a fire in the fireplace, and spike your cocoa with Baileys

  19. Pleeeeaaaase....a post about the weather? Sheesh...

    Have I mentioned the Himalayas?

  20. Whatever, Braja. This is Canada. We invented winter. My little corner just chose to sit it out.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, fine. But where you live, this will pass in short order. Soon, it will melt away, and the rains will set in. Up here, we have a good eight months of winter! (And it's been known to snow in August. Ick!)

    Hope it passes soon. :)

  22. Dude did you get the email from Mixwit? They are going out of business! How am I going to resume my Saturday Morning Mixes? Damnit!

  23. Dumbass,

    We're getting it down where I am too. I am surprised (and relieved) we still have power this morning. Usually, everything goes black with the first stiff-breeze. Outside it's about 12 degrees(F) and snowing like a sonofabitch. So, that means the last of the Xmess shopping will have to wait. It'll be me, a hot-toddy or 2 and the NFL.

  24. oooo... I forgot about the Ella christmas album! may have to use some of them for my christmas song of the day! Enjoy the snow!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I read your tweets....Caramel Baileys? Yummmmmmm.

    So how are you feeling today?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, we're supposed to get more snow today too - 'severe weather alert for Seattle' still in effect. And then rain. Ugh.

    We're holed up in the house. Cabin fever is setting in. Almost time to bust out my Captain Dumbass Limited Edition Underpants® (thanks Supreme Leader!) and start making some snow angels. :D

  30. Hope you did not freeze and have to roast your chest nuts on an open fire. That is reserved for Christmas Day.

  31. I LOVE Harry. He might be boyfriend number 2. Michael Buble is currently number 1. :)

    Here is to hoping my snow melts faster than Goodfathers! I did shovel my driveway today!
