All monthly statistics in this article are based on data from the weather station at UBCO, and the seasonal statistics in this article are based on the Canadian climate normals 1981-2010 data.
As we look into the first few days of 2021, milder air will move in for the first weekend of the year.
We will say goodbye to Frosty, as we will see mixed precipitation at times for Saturday and Sunday.
