No, because there was a SE gale warning out on the strait yesterday afternoon and evening. Most of the ships have 35-40 knot limitations, which was exceeded last night. The snow wouldn't have had much bearing on the decision

Ouch!
All sailings between Bowen Island & Horseshoe Bay this afternoon & evening have been cancelled due to crewing issues.
With each passing incident of this type faith in BC Ferries as a reliable transportation system withers yet further ...

And then there are these utterly baffling cancellations... at least, baffling to a layman, from a distance... The 11pm and 11:30 sailings between Campbell River and Quathiaski Cove, cancelled due to 'adverse weather conditions'. At 10pm, Environment Canada is reporting wind at Campbell River from the northwest at six kilometres an hour, with no forecast of anything worse. Huh?

Perhaps heavy snow on the roads making it too dangerous for vehicles to load/offload?

Service cancelled on route two, but thirty is still operating. Surprising, as Entrance Island is gusting to 40 knots, Tsawwassen gusting to 29. I guess that must be pushing the limits.

Majority of morning sailing on Friday have been canceled So this next winter storm is causing all these sailings to be cancelled...
Is it b/c not enough crew can make it to the terminals tm? or is it for some other reason everywhere else deems just another Friday?

I don’t know why they would require a service notice in that area because it’s not delaying anything.

There wasn't a service notice when you posted that, but there is now!
(What are the winning lotto numbers going to be later?)

The Oak Bay is running late this morning, but is operating normally - no turning around in Departure Bay.
