5 to 10 cm of snow is ruining a lot of peoples' day in the Lower Mainland
It’s never a good day to drive in the Lower Mainland, especially after a few centimetres of snow have fallen.
That’s the case today so drivers in the area are experiencing delays.
A snowfall warning is in effect for Metro Vancouver where five to 10 cm can be expected.
So far today DriveB.C. has reported vehicle incidents in North Vancouver, Coquitlam and Surrey.
A video shared to Twitter by amateur weather reporter Brad Atchison shows an offramp in North Vancouver full of stuck cars.
"Avoid. Holy crap avoid this. I'm stuck here for a while," reads his Tweet.
Hwy 1 WB trying to get through North Vancouver is a disaster right now. Avoid. Holy crap avoid this. I'm stuck here for a while! 15 spunout cars trying to get to Mtn Hwy. #bcstorm pic.twitter.com/xZUdn0Qbmb — Brad Atchison (@Brad604) December 18, 2022
