On Monday, Dec. 22, Environment Canada meteorologist Armel Castellan told Vancouver Is Awesome in a phone interview that Vancouver isn't likely to see snow on the big day, despite seeing some accumulation of snow Monday.
Monday's snowy weather event was somewhat of an anomaly, and it isn't caused by arctic air. Instead, Castellan says it's a combination of heavy precipitation and a deepening Pacific low that made its way across Washington State.
