“[Thursday] evening areas around Abbotsford, west Fraser Valley, will see freezing rain, that should ease off late this evening but there is still is a slight chance of some freezing rain overnight. [Friday] morning for those areas just rain, but for the central and eastern portions of the Fraser Valley, we’re expecting 10 centimeters of snow [Thursday] evening and another 10 centimeters of snow [Friday] morning – all of those areas also have a risk of freezing rain right through the morning hours [Friday].”
