Snowfall warnings for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley have now ended.
Environment Canada issued the warnings on Sunday night as snow began to fall in the region.
A special weather statement remains in effect as a cold, moist and unstable flow of air originating from the Gulf of Alaska will continue to plague the south coast.
Environment Canada says snowfall amounts will be highly variable, with the highest amounts expected over higher elevations.
The wet and cold weather will remain in place throughout the week, with several centimetres of snow expected to accumulate each day until Wednesday. Environment Canada says a slight warming trend may increase temperatures by the end of the work week.
The first wave of snow hit Metro Vancouver Saturday night and Sunday with 10 to 20 centimetres accumulating in Coquitlam, 10 to 15 centimetres in Port Moody and five to 15 centimetres in Surrey.
It’s a cold start to March. The historical average temperature for Mar. 5 is just over 9 C, but Sunday saw temps only as high as 4 C.
