You beat me by 0.3c! Not too often east Van is colder than east Coquitlam in the winter.

You got the observed minimum from the EC database for this morning? Unless the hourly obs caught the minimum.

My daughter will be taking the ferry to Victoria tomorrow morning. I do worry about the road condition and will BC ferry cancel the service if too much snow, say 10-15cm?

Leave early give plenty of time for sailing, unless the ferry gets stuck in the snow on the water, oh wait no the models make it look like there's snow on the water.

Pretty impressive to have 4 consecutive lows below -10c here

My station at my parents house in Ladner:
12/25: H: -0.8 (midnight high) L: -7.3
12/26: -7.3 (midnight high)/-11.1

Looks like people are walking on trout lake despite the "warning: thin ice signs" put up by the city.

This is what happened many times in the past too (70s, 80s, 90s). As I mentioned yesterday, I doubt the ice was >6" thick on lost lagoon in early January 1974 (go through the old data and check the temps from this period) but there's footage of kids skating on it nonetheless.

I was mildly surprised when you reported your low temp.

Catnip recorded a low of -11.4c, so almost the same as me. Guess the tri cities were in the banana belt last night.

Best thing is temps will be well below freezing. No marginal slush crap at all.

Not to mention YVR's beaten almost everyone west of Coquitlam/Surrey every day I think

I concur.

Edit: Snow good. Dry snow better.

Right after Bruce there it is over the Ducks tonight Granddaddy, unoless they postpone it.

World juniors got cancelled, I either expect the Canucks to be blazing hot tonight or have a slow start after the break!
