A couple of excerpts from The Weather Network
Temperatures were cool enough for snow this week in the higher elevations of BC. A base of nearly 40 cm has formed in the alpine peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. The ski season at Whistler Blackcomb is scheduled to kick off on November 25.
Last weekend, snow was falling in parts of the Interior.
The province is expected to see a cold and wet winter this year because of the effects of La Nina.

December 2010
1st-3rd. Fair.
4th-7th. Fair, then unsettled, with showers. Snow for Rockies.
8th-11th. Clearing skies.
12th-15th. Changeable, with clouds, sun, and a passing shower.
16th-19th. Chilly and dry.
20th-23rd. Showery.
24th-27th. Very unsettled for Christmas and Boxing Day. Heavy snow in Rockies
Farther west, in western Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, milder-than-normal temperatures are expected. Although not quite as mild as what was experienced last winter, it will be a marked contrast to the frigidity that we project will cover the eastern sections of the country.
Precipitation-wise, if you like snow, you should head to western Quebec, much of Ontario and the eastern half of Manitoba, where snowier-than normal conditions will prevail. A heavier-than-normal dose of precipitation will also hit British Columbia and western Alberta, while the remainder of the country will see near-normal amounts of winter precipitation.
So there is hope for a great season
