Environment Canada is forecasting snow as early as Sunday this long weekend as Richmond continues to be mired in a cold snap that set a record low temperature reading for Feb.6.
Early Thursday morning Vancouver International Airport recorded a low of -8.4 C, according to readings displayed on its website. That marks a record low, the previous being -7.8 C set in 1948.
On Saturday the high is expected to hover around zero degress, while the low is expected to drop to -7 C. The good news is that there will nary be a cloud in the sky. Sunday is expected to be equally cold and the national weather service is expecting a 30 per cent chance of flurries. Snow expected on Monday, Children's Day, but it's expected to change to rain by Tuesday.
