Hopefully with some snow during the transition then there’s often a chance for something to spin up once the outflow is interacting with the warm sea water.
Great
and then it's all over till next winter.

Well I was thinking that then we would look forward to cherry blossoms

Was very persistently cold though. Hard to find many other two-week periods in December in recorded history with a lower average temperature.
Between 4 p.m. on December 15-4 a.m. on December 18, Vancouver recorded 2.39 in. (60.7 mm) of rain. Alta Lake and Tofino reported more than 6 in. (15 cm). Revelstoke and Blue River recorded 1 ft. (30 cm) and 13 in. (32.5 cm) of snow, respectively. The heavy precipitation, some of it in snow, occurred across southern British Columbia.
The rainstorm, which occurred towards the end of a two-week warm and very wet period caused extensive flooding of basements in greater Vancouver.
Vancouver International Airport set two monthly records: a rainfall of 11.34 in. (288.0 mm), the average for December being 5.96 in. (151.4 mm); and total precipitation of 11.82 in. (300.2 mm), the average for December being 5.96 in. (151.4 mm); and total precipitation of 11.82 in. (300.2 mm), the average for December being 6.51 in. (165.4 mm).
Vancouver PMO established corresponding records with 16.06 in. (407.9 mm); average for December 8.70 in. (221.0mm), and 16.84 in. (427.7mm), respectively.
Overnight December 15-16 in Vancouver, 1.26 in. (32.0 mm) of rain melted about 6 in. (15 cm) of snow accumulated during the previous 10 days. City work crews responded to more than 50 distress calls following a rainfall of 1.20 in. (30.5 mm) overnight December 15-16. Most of the flooding resulted from partly melted snow blocking highway drains. Delta reported isolated cases of flooding.

Fall/Winter 
I was eight at the time and we lived in an old house with probably very little insulation in the attic so huge icicles hanging from the roof. Also a very low area of Surrey so remember the flooding also.
Surrey faced some of the worst impacts from the storm!
The storm caused widespread flooding and landslides in the greater Vancouver area. Surrey reported 700 flood calls and Chilliwack 500. Hardest hit was Surrey, where a combination of heavy rainfall and high tides broke two sections of the Nicomekl River dikes east of King George Highway on December 26.
At one time during the night of December 26, it was feared that some families would have to be evacuated from an area between 184th and 192nd streets, where the river runs north to south. It was on this stretch that the dikes broke the night before. A feared combination of a 15.6ft. (4.7 m) high tide and more heavy rain and wind did not materialize. Municipal crews built a temporary 4-ft. (1.2 m) gravel dike around the breaks, with weak spots on either side sandbagged.
Farmers near the mouth of the river at Mud Bay requested sandbags to strengthen the dikes there. Here, the problems were caused by runoff rather than by the river.
Surrey mayor Bill Vander Zalm estimated damage to land, sewers, roads and water supplies at “millions of dollars.†He estimated the municipality’s own damage bill at $500,000. Vander Zalm called for immediate provincial aid and a quick start on the construction on a better dyking system for the Nicomekl and Serpentine rivers. Vander Zalm noted he was going to ask the provincial government “to stop making studies of the situation and get on with repairs. We are just having disaster after disaster. The water from the hills is increasing year after year and the dikes are just no good anymore.â€
