A snowstorm in the Metro Vancouver area on Tuesday morning caused warnings of a morning commute.
Environment Canada has issued a special regional climate alert, as rainforests traveling through the Lower Mainland dump into parts of the region, including Burnaby, Surrey, and Tri-Cities.
The weather forecasters predicted that the snow would be about two inches [2 cm] high and that this could affect road conditions in the early morning hours.
Environment Canada meteorologist Derek Lee said there would be a rainy break this afternoon and showers were expected overnight which could cause heavy snowfall in the highlands.
Ice warnings
To the east, an iceberg was issued south of Fraser Canyon, which includes communities of Lytton and Boston Bar.
Environment Canada predicts that up to 15 inches of snow will reach the area by the end of Tuesday morning.
Drivers should be prepared for changing and deteriorating driving conditions and reduced visibility on the road.
In the southeastern corner of the province, about 20 inches [20 cm] of snow may occur in the Elk Valley, especially in the areas of Fernie and Morrissey.
Snow is expected to recede during the day, and it may be up to 2–4 inches later this afternoon.
Cold temperatures
Environment Canada has also issued an arctic warning in the inland areas of the North Coast, including the City of Terrace.
Residents are warned of strong winds coming out and temperatures could drop to 20 C as the air temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday nights when it is expected to be slightly warmer.
The weather agency says there is a risk of frostbite and hypothermia, which can occur within a few minutes if proper safety measures are not taken outside.
