West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, and Maple Ridge are expected to accumulate 15 to 25 cm of snow by late morning, while Vancouver and Burnaby will receive 10 to 15 cm total.

However, light rain is expected to follow on Saturday morning, and it’ll dry up with a mix of sun and clouds by the afternoon. That evening however, we should expect mixed precipitation, combining snow and rain.
That will continue throughout Sunday, with temperatures sitting at one degree that morning and three degrees in the afternoon.
By Sunday evening, we’ll see snow again, with temperatures at minus one degree.
It appears that the “harsh” winter that was predicted is on its way. Earlier this week, weather warnings due to severe snow storms were issued for several BC highways.
Stay safe, everyone!
