The cold temperatures Vancouver has been experiencing in the last week may be here to stay.
Global BC meteorologist Michael Kuss says the average temperature for the period from Dec. 1 to Dec. 12 at YVR was 1.8 C.
He says if YVR averages around -3 C between Dec. 13-18, which it should, the average temperature for the month will be near zero.
The monthly normal for December is 3.5 C. By comparison, the average temperature for December was 5.2 C in 2015.
The coldest December on record was in 1984 with an average temperature of 0.6 C.
