Not a rare event by any means, but it is unusual. A very early season Snow Storm is about to impact Southern BC on Friday. Snow levels could drop as low as 1,000 feet in Vancouver, BC. : weather

Vancouver/Victoria areas are safe from any actual snowflakes. This is a cold rain event for us. But Whistler, the out-of-town highways, and the rest of Southern BC will see all Snow. The highest area of Vancouver could see mixing (SFU, British Properties, Westwood Plateau, etc). But that is not a guarantee.

This would have been an all Snow event for everyone in Southern BC from early November until the end of March. Vancouver/Victoria included.
