Missed the Snowstorm

While Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and parts of the interior all got the big dump of snow in the last 24 hours, the Bella Coola Valley was spared.  The temperature stayed in the -7 to -8 C range and an Arctic outflow blew all night in the narrow windy areas of the valley with a fine wispy snow falling.  The snow was hardly measurable, most blowing into a drift somewhere. By late afternoon a little bit of blue sky showed up. No planes made it from Vancouver today, Bella Coola had poor visibility, the alternate airport of Anahim Lake had snow and there were numerous delays and cancellations out of Vancouver International.  Grizzly
