The majority of the majour Hwys in BC are not open, due to avalanche and mud slides, areas in Sooke, Abbotsford and Chilliwack are under evacuation due to flooding caused by the extreme snowfall and now the enormous amount of rain they are receiving. Records for snowfall and rainfall have been broken.
Hundreds of semis providing goods shipments are parked and unable to move due to the road closures. The hwys that are open all have bans on them to drive on only if absolutely necessary.

It is raining out here in the Rockies, heavily, never happened in January before that I know of.

We* had heavy snow last night, a blizzard today, our power was off for an hour, and tonight we're forecast to get -42C wind chill, and extreme cold until Sunday at least.
*I'm just below Labrador on Quebec's Lower North Shore.
It was +5 here at noon, and is now down to +3, and it is still raining. The weather is much like VIsland in the winter right now, after a snow fall. And the snow is doing a serious melt too. The hwys will be treacherous if the temp drops to below zero.

It's -30 again. With below -40 wind chills. Walked back from the grocery store and my face was nearly frozen in under two blocks. Should have worn the bigger scarf.
The forecast says up to -2 on Friday, but I think they're lying. They've been stringing us along for weeks now.
