Snow causes transit delays, hazardous road conditions in Metro Vancouver

Some roads were closed in Vancouver due to snow on Feb. 2, 2025.

The first snowstorm of the season descended on Metro Vancouver Sunday, creating challenging conditions on the region’s roads.

Environment Canada’s warning says heavy snow will persist through the morning, with some periods of intense flurries.

“Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions,” the agency says.

Road crews were out early plowing major routes, and drivers were being advised to exercise caution.

DriveBC was reporting spun out vehicles and multiple issues on a typically hazardous stretch of highway on the North Shore – reporting many who were on the road did not appear prepared for the conditions.

TransLink is reporting delays on the Millennium and Expo SkyTrain lines, as well as multiple bus routes.

Vancouver International Airport is advising passengers to check their flight status before travelling to the airport.
