My parents booked flights instead. Thank God. The roads to Vancouver are a complete mess right now.

Probably wise.
I only drove from the coast to interior once in the winter, and never again, it wasn't even a horrible day, but the roads were still a mess, interior is a no go for me in winter.

The nice warm weather we've been enjoying is about to give way to seasonal values.

So looks like east, west an prairies are getting snow....no such luck in southern Ontario..... it seems its no longer a good place to own a snowmobile.... been a terrible "winter" here so far. We have some temporary cold for 24 hours before heading back to plus 8 again!! How ridiculous!!

We're about to get down to -17 without it being the wind-chill that takes us there.

We've apparently had 1/3rd of our annual snowfall in the couple of weeks since 23rd Dec. It's certainly been rather snowy - first time in 15 years I've had to snow clear on Christmas Day itself.
Currently blowing a gale outside with -10C so a hefty wind-chill. The dogs walk this evening was a brisk one!

In 2 or 3 hours I should scoot out and plug the van in.
At some point this winter it will be 10 - 15 degrees colder, it's a fact of life on the prairies.

We've not had a great deal of snow so far. I'm not going to get carried away because I remember a few years ago we'd had nothing by Christmas and then we had the all time record post-Christmas snowfall and it wasn't far short of the all time record for the whole of winter.
But if the predicted amounts of snowfall prove to be accurate, come next Thursday when we have 15-20cm predicted, we will have seen just under 50cms for December through to Jan 16th.
Normally we'd have 118cm fall in these two months. So we'd need about another 70cm in the last two weeks of January to be "normal" and hopefully we won't.

Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
Our part of the city got about 1 cm of snow .......... it started at around 3 am, and was mixed rain and snow, with heavy snow at times, until around noon.
There is still snow on the grass and some sidewalks, but slush on the roads.
