A storm system is bringing snow to the area starting early on Saturday evening, intensifying on Sunday morning.
“The rain-snow line is expected to be just above Squamish tonight then progress beyond the Tantalus overlook to just south of Brandywine early Sunday,” said Environment Canada.
Snow is in the forecast for today! We are expecting snowfall to come later in the day and continue through the end of the weekend!
