Vancouver has had hardly any snow this year - the slopes were bare at
the end of January. They were kind of worried about it seeing as
Whistler is hosting the Winter Olympics in a few years.

Remarkable when Whistler has seen its record snowfall since records began.
It had 467cm in January 2006.

I don't suppose anyone on here knows about, or knows where I can find out
about, the current weather in Canada? I'm heading off there tomorrow night
for three weeks of snow fun. (Hopefully)!

I am just wondering how the winter has been so far, if there's loads of
snow, if it's expected to stay cold/get mild etc.

I'll be visiting Toronto, Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise and Vancouver (which
I
know won't be snowy!)

snow 4 days on the run.

Sweden last December, snow up to your middle. Great fun.

Oh no not again. It was a bit "thin" a couple of years ago. They
laid-off people at the slopes on Vancouver Island.
