Volume 2022.27 Winter Weather Advisory

We wish to advise you of an upcoming shift in weather with risk of low-elevation snow for the Lower Mainland.

Details:

Timespan: Sunday, November 27^th to Saturday, Dec 3^rd
Cold temperatures. Temperatures will be 5 to 20 degrees colder than normal and will begin to drop Sunday, with the coldest days expected late in the week
Gradual warming is expected to begin by next weekend (Dec 3-4, 2022)
Widespread snow possible throughout the week with forecasts of 5-20 cm of accumulation Tuesday/Wednesday

Potential impacts for consideration

Changing weather conditions may impact regular commutes and transportation corridors
Staff may be impacted in their travel to and from work sites
Blowing snow and accumulating snow on roads may make travel challenging
Power outages are possible from moderate to strong gusty winds, or infrastructure damage from ground instability
Menno Place may be directly impacted and will prepare for power failures

Potential actions to take

Arrange alternative transportation, such as car pooling, if uncomfortable with driving in these conditions.
Sign up for weather alerts through Alertable, WeatherCAN, and AlertMe
Make sure on-call leadership is aware and knows how to report any impacts
Maintenance is working hard to keep our campus clear of snow and ice.
Take precautions when walking/driving and wear proper footward.

Sincerely,

Jeanette Lee
