Investigation into a heavy snow warning for portions of the lower mainland area on Dec. 14, 1979 (forecast investigation #4) / Bob Brown, meteorologist.En57-44/79-039E-PDF

"It is still uncertain why a heavy snowfall was predicted for the regions in question. The synopsis issued with the warning implies the heavy snowfall is due to the Arctic air mass moving south. The amount of precipitation forecast was higher than could be expected with the type of system approaching the west coast. It was a relatively weak fast moving system with little upper level support."
