今天一觉醒来,又下!雪!了! 早上10点35分,加拿大环境部对大温地区发出了降雪警报(Snowfall Warning)。周日降雪量将高达5-10厘米。(Snowfall, with total amounts of 5 to 10 cm is expected.) 一个海上低气压正造成南部内陆海岸降雪。(大规模的)降雪将会在下午停止,但是仍然会有阵雪或降雨。 现在的降雪已经有5-20厘米,预计白天仍将降雪5厘米。 周日晚上的情况将会变糟,因为这股低气压今晚就会登陆,晚上又要下大雪!大温地区和菲沙河谷地区地势较高的地区(高贵林、素里、本拿比等)雪量将最高达15厘米。请大家尽早做好准备。 环境部表示,有些地区的雪量非常大,在短时间内积雪就会大到足以影响出行。今天出行时务必小心、慢行,与前车保持足够的距离。 根据天气预报,未来一周的每一天都将有大雨。 根据本地气象学家的介绍,多年的气象资料显示,虽然今年冬天的气候比较异常,但3月降雪对于温哥华来说并不奇怪。
