All that April snow this weekend was more than surprising -- it was also
record-setting.
The flakes that fell across the Vancouver region Friday night and
Saturday represent the latest snowfall ever on record.
At its peak, the storm dumped 2.5 cm of snow at the Vancouver
International Air****t, with 8 cm at Lynn Valley and 30 cm at Mount
Seymour. Vancouver Island recorded 6.4 cm of snow at Victoria
International Air****t by 11 a.m. Saturday -- more than any on an April
day since 1940. But the big record dump came in Nanaimo, where the city
hadn't seen measurable snow on April 19 since 1947. As of 11 a.m., 24 cm
covered the ground at the air****t.
