- Metro Vancouver experienced relatively mild winter temperatures compared to historically colder periods.
- The polar vortex caused heavy snowstorms and deep freezes in other parts of Canada and North America.
- Flight cancellations at Vancouver International Airport increased due to weather disruptions elsewhere, while the local region remained largely unaffected.
- A warmer trend is anticipated for early February, though an Arctic cold snap may occur later this winter.
