Warnings out for drivers, folks catching flights as more snow is expected to fall overnight

Vancouver International Airport and the province are out with statements Tuesday evening as more snow is expected overnight.

As much as four centimetres is expected over higher terrain. 

ECCC predicts it will be a mainly cloudy morning with a 40% chance of showers into the early afternoon.

While Tuesday’s winter weather did not cause any issues at YVR, the airport has issued a warning for Wednesday. 

“With more snow in the forecast overnight, flight delays/cancellations are possible,” it said in a tweet.

Drivers are urged to be cautious on the road, expect delays, and ensure that vehicles are equipped with winter tires.

“Drivers can assist maintenance crews by providing space for them on highways and moving over safely when they see a vehicle with an amber light approaching. This will allow crews to improve road conditions and reduce hazards for drivers,” the province advises. 

The City of Vancouver added, “Consider avoiding non-essential travel.”
