Residents of southern BC may be looking at a mild December but things are expected to chill off in the New Year.
Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says December will likely be warmer than usual in Metro Vancouver.
But he says conditions for January are predicted to be colder, wetter and whiter than usual.
He says it's a La Nina year, which usually brings colder temperature right away, but a ridge of high pressure is delaying the freeze.
