Weather warnings remain for parts of B.C., but forecasters say snow to change to rain

Feb 15, 2021 | 7:50 AM

VANCOUVER — Snowfall and winter storm warnings remain posted for British Columbia’s inner south coast as Environment Canada warns some areas are being walloped harder than others.

The weather office says the Fraser Valley could see another 10 to 15 centimetres of snow before the latest storm passes on Tuesday.

Freezing rain is also possible for the Chilliwack and Abbotsford areas.

Although the storm still grips the Fraser Valley, forecasters say snow should change to rain within hours over Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast and parts of eastern and inland Vancouver Island.

But, depending on elevation and temperature, the weather office says those regions could see another 10 centimetres of snow before the rain arrives.
