Shovels at the ready, Squamish.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Howe Sound, which includes town.
There will be significant snow on Tuesday, the statement reads.
“A favourable set up for widespread low elevation snow over the south coast is shaping up for Tuesday and Tuesday night. A front will track down the BC coast beginning Tuesday morning and combine with a cool air mass to produce snow across the lowlands,” reads the advisory.
“Snowfall amounts will vary significantly across the region. The air will be cool, but not truly Arctic, so snowfall amounts will vary with proximity to the water, elevation and intensity of precipitation.”
This wll blanket the area with anywhere from five to 20 centimetres of heavy, wet snow.
However, fear not — rain is expected to return by Wednesday alongside a flow of milder Pacific air.
