Vancouver Island: Unusual Snowless Winter, Incoming Storm
Atmospheric River to Bring Warm Rain, Potential Drought Relief to Vancouver Island
Victoria and Nanaimo have experienced no snow this winter, with an atmospheric river set to bring warm rain instead of late snow. The islands snowpack is at just 48% of normal, but experts caution against panic, as spring rains and melt timing matter more. The incoming storm could dump 30-60mm in Greater Victoria and over 300mm on the west coast, potentially boosting water supplies and preventing drought. Reservoirs are full, and B.C. Hydro reports no issues meeting demand.
