The Province asks people to stay off the Sea to Sky Highway as snow changes to freezing rain. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and its maintenance contractors are preparing for freezing rain and snow through the Fraser Valley, in Metro Vancouver, along the Sea to Sky Highway, and on southern and central Vancouver Island.
Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for the Fraser Valley as snow changes to rain, with a prolonged period of freezing rain possible from Langley to Hope. The freezing rain will continue this evening over Langley, then change to rain. Freezing rain will continue through Friday morning over Abbotsford and Friday afternoon over Chilliwack, then turn to rain.
Highways, roads and parking lots will be extremely slippery, and any travel by road should be done with caution.
In the Lower Mainland, snow is expected this afternoon, which could turn to freezing rain this evening as the weather warms. The cable collar systems on the Port Mann and Alex Fraser bridges will operate as necessary.
