While the forecast called for snowfall across Metro 麻豆传媒映画on Sunday, not every part of the region saw much of the white stuff.
In fact, most residents of the City of 麻豆传媒映画didn't see any snow, or if they did, it was only a few flakes falling and then not sticking on the ground. Likewise, some areas of Metro 麻豆传媒映画only saw a light dusting but not much of an accumulation.
For these folks, the buildup to the 2021 "snowmaggedon" was decidedly laughable, and they took to Twitter to share their perception of the first "snow day" of the new year.
Such a special sight today seeing all the Vancouverites out enjoying the first snow day of the year 馃槒

Snowy areas around Metro Vancouver
Several parts of the Lower Mainland did see a light dusting of snow, while a couple of areas saw a few centimetres accumulate.
Locals shared numerous pictures of the snowfall on social media yesterday--albeit very humble amounts of the white stuff.

Metro 麻豆传媒映画Weather Forecast
While Vancouverites have enjoyed a relatively mild winter so far, Environment Canada cautions that we aren't out of the woods yet.
In a recent interview, Environment Canada Meteorologist Doug Lundquist told 麻豆传媒映画 that "It's halfway through winter--so we have another half to go through.
"And we can get snow--definitely in the latter part of January, February and sometimes March."
Lundquist stresses that snow events are far less likely heading into spring, but they can't be ruled out entirely. That said, he notes that the La Niña pattern is still affecting weather in the region, which could mean temperatures will dip a bit below average.
For now, however, Environment Canada has lifted the snowfall warning for the region. That said, there is a possibility of flurries tonight for places with higher elevations.
