Another awesome shot Tshot, l lived just across the Burrard street bridge by Kits Beach.
Having that week off due to the heavy snowfall was fun l remember the Arctic front arrived late on l wanna say the Saturday evening it was Jan 10th snow began to fall l remember the wind picked up from the NE with steadily falling temperatures l remember from our apartment lobby you could see the Molson tower with the temperature by late that night it had dropped to 24F.
In this picture you can see the outflow reached downtown Vancouver on the old B.C. Hydro bldg. amazing memories indeed.
Edit: YXX went from -5c to plus 6c in 1 hour the morning of January 15/71 talk about pipe bursting temps. by 11p.m. it was 10c yup the Southerly winds capital of the lower mainland.

Prolly looks worse becuz no one shoveled sidewalks back then..limited road plowing..and salt and sand usage

Even still.... a repeat would absolutely cripple the region nowadays.

Wow! western areas scored well, l remember watching Norm Grohman of course that week.
And l remember the black and white satellite photo showing a low just sitting off the coast pulling Arctic air out to the coast and spinning bands of moisture over SW B.C. it was an absolutely text book setup for snowfall l looked up the island last time we reminisced about this event can you post some island snowfall totals Tgreat l'm sure some areas did well too.

White Rock in 1964. Here's one for Skipper Gimpers it doesn't mention the date assuming it's winter.

I would assume it was taken in mid December 1964.

Perhaps this Thursday one more kick in pants shorts day, A.I. Canada says 21c for the central valley. do you notice how they throw in a risk of Tstorms but no one pays attention or gets excited about it. I guess just too many blown calls for it.
