Get your boots out and check your tires, Environment Canada says winter is on its way.
Whether you香蕉视频直播檙e ready or not, meteorologist Doug Lundquist is predicting snow will arrive in the valley by Friday morning.
香蕉视频直播淲hat香蕉视频直播檚 coming up is going to be really unusual,香蕉视频直播� Lundquist said.
But before the snow, he added, came the Halloween night rain.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 going to have to endure the wrath of my children,香蕉视频直播� he joked.
Wednesday, he added, will remain fairly warm, but by Thursday, Lundquist said it will start to cool off, and by Thursday night into Friday we will be seeing rain and snow mixed.
香蕉视频直播淔riday might be just a snowy day all day,香蕉视频直播� he continued. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 going to come down the mountain and start collecting in the valley bottom at times. Saturday and Sunday it香蕉视频直播檚 going to be cold and snowy.
If the timing is wrong, he noted, Vernon residents could be seeing as much as 10 centimetres of snow by Sunday. The good news for winter sports enthusiasts is that at high terrain, Lundquist said, there will be quite a bit of snow regardless.
Next week, however, we can expect this arctic front to blow back a bit.
香蕉视频直播淏y mid-week it will probably warm up enough that it will be more wet than snowy 香蕉视频直播� at least in the valley bottom,香蕉视频直播滾undquist said.
This early taste of winter, he said, is also a good opportunity to prepare for the months ahead.
香蕉视频直播淚t (winter) is definitely happening earlier than usual and it香蕉视频直播檚 going to be a real awakening,香蕉视频直播� he said.
香蕉视频直播淚 think we need to winterize our vehicles and our houses and not fall on our laurels and wait until the end of November to change our behaviour.香蕉视频直播�
In regard to the science behind the sudden change, Lundquist said we can chalk this up to the randomness of weather.
香蕉视频直播淚 can香蕉视频直播檛 say I know enough about climate change to say that that香蕉视频直播檚 an issue, but I can say that the jet stream isn香蕉视频直播檛 riding the pattern, so you wonder how much is just randomness and how much is the changing nature of the longer term climate.香蕉视频直播�
