Blast of winter smashes snowfall records in Abbotsford, Vancouver
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Snowfall records across southern British Columbia are falling as a winter storm continues to wallop the region.
The white stuff has been flying since Friday, prompting Environment Canada to issue snowfall warnings for many areas along the south coast and the southern interior of the province.
The agency said another five to 10 centimetres of snow was expected to fall in the Fraser Valley Sunday, while up to 15 centimetres was forecast for Metro Vancouver.
It’s been an unusually cold and white winter across the region, and the latest storm has shattered historic snowfall records, said Environment Canada meteorologist Jennifer Hay.
