Since Thursday, Metro Vancouver has been in a deep freeze, with temperatures well below zero not only overnight, but during the day as well.
The snow on the roads disappeared somehow, resulting in the city experiencing a dry cold winter. It was so cold that people were skating on some local ponds.
To walk outside, one has to seriously bundle up with a toque, scarf, puffy jacket, long johns, sweater, socks and boots. Oh yes and gloves too. Anyone wearing less than that would be considered mad, like the guy I saw this afternoon wearing shorts.
In the early afternoon there was a weather alert to say the arctic outflow warning had ended, and that warmer temperatures were coming.
That means tomorrow's temperature will be a high of -2 degrees Celsius during the day, and -6 degrees at night.
Whoohoo!
On Tuesday things get interesting with the possibility of snow in the afternoon or evening until Wednesday morning and then it will warm up to 6 degrees!
And then rest of the week will be raining... back to regular Vancouver weather...
