Thank god after Tuesday it's rain and the temps go way up so tomorrow into Tuesday morning could be the worst we see here in Vancouver. I feel for the people living in Fraser Valley.

Just came back from SFU. When I was going up there someone in a huge ass SUV with summer tires was sliding back down the hill near the bottom of the parking lots. I had to throw it in reverse to avoid them hitting me. Then some douchebag comes up behind me and starts honking to move foreward...lol
Then on the way down some guy in a Camry was doing 110+ from the lots to the intersection with the road covered in slush/snow.
Gotta love the "i'll ignore the snow and pretend it is a hot summer day" driving method lots of people use.
Was snowing a bit on the way, but nothing major.

Coldest I've been in was -40C, -50C with windchill. That was daytime, too.
Coldest night-time was -44C but no windchill.
It's an interesting sensation, breathing in through your nose, and your nose freezes shut.

And the most recent dewpoint for that metar was 1C
