The snow caused transit, traffic and flight delays, as well as some cancellations at the Vancouver International Airport.

Many schools were also closed due to the snow.

Environment Canada is predicting rain for Friday evening and no more snow for at least a week, meaning chances are slim for a white Christmas.
