Meanwhile, in the BC interior, experts are warning of possible avalanches in the region near the Rocky Mountains, with almost 100 cm of snow hitting this past weekend.
For those in Metro Vancouver, however, it looks like we’ll just be getting more rain, but the possibility of a White Christmas has not been completely ruled out just yet.
