Environment Canada says the snowfall warning has ended for Metro Vancouver, but remains for the Fraser Valley.

Global News meteorologist Kristi Gordon says much of Metro Vancouver saw a mix of rain and snow earlier in the day.

“Temperatures were a couple of degrees above freezing so nothing accumulated on the ground,” Gordon said.

“But then between 3 and 4 p.m. temperatures dropped and big wet flakes began to fall. By 5 p.m. a number of regions began to see snow accumulate on streets and sidewalks.”
