How long do you guys think it has been since we last saw this much ice on the fraser in the lower mainland? At this point I'd say there might be even more early Jan 2017, so maybe further back than that...late Dec 2008?

If not, then going even further back, there's also late Dec 1996, early-mid Jan 1993, late Dec 1990 and early Feb 1989.

Looks like the central valley miisses out on most of the action only half of what is forecasted for Metro Van. :x
The 7th annual snowfall contest is canceled due to no snow this winter.

You had your win on Boxing Day, and probably over the upcoming weekend too. It's our turn for a change.
