For now, the forecast doesn’t call for more snow until Tuesday next week, and only 1 cm of it.
Regarding the Metro Vancouver forecast from Environment Canada, snow amounts could be between 2 to 4 cm.
Environment Canada’s latest special weather statement, issued around 5 am for all major Metro Vancouver cities, also calls for freezing temperatures and winds gusting up to 50 km/h for Friday.
It also says to expect slippery conditions.
We can only hope things don’t get as bad as they did on Tuesday night. That snow event nearly crippled municipalities across Metro Vancouver, creating havoc for drivers and commuters.
