MUST SEE: British Columbia sees snowfall before ‘bomb cyclone’ is expected to hit

Unseasonable snowfall hits southwest British Columbia as ‘bomb cyclone’ approaches

Environment Canada issued snowfall warnings for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley on Monday, with some areas expected to see up to 20 centimetres of snow. The snow is expected to continue until Tuesday morning, with the heaviest snowfall expected overnight.

The snowfall is being caused by a weather system known as a “bomb cyclone.” A bomb cyclone is a rapidly intensifying storm that can bring high winds, heavy snowfall, and flooding. The bomb cyclone is expected to hit British Columbia on Tuesday, bringing with it heavy rain and strong winds.

What is a bomb cyclone?

A bomb cyclone is a rapidly intensifying storm that can bring high winds, heavy snowfall, and flooding. Bomb cyclones are caused by a combination of factors, including a large temperature difference between two air masses and a strong jet stream.

Bomb cyclones can be very dangerous, and they can cause widespread damage. In 2018, a bomb cyclone hit the northeastern United States, causing widespread power outages and flooding.

What to do if a bomb cyclone hits

If a bomb cyclone hits your area, there are a few things you can do to stay safe:

• Listen to the advice of local officials.
• Stay indoors as much as possible
• Avoid driving if possible.
• If you must drive, make sure your vehicle is properly equipped for winter driving.
• Be aware of the risk of flooding and take steps to protect your property.
