Cold Snap Hits Vancouver: Snow and Slippery Roads Ahead
A chill is settling over Vancouver and the Lower Mainland as a cold system moves in from the north, bringing a mix of low temperatures and light precipitation. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a special weather statement, warning residents to brace for colder-than-average conditions through the week.
Meteorologists are tracking this system closely. While it won’t bring a full-blown blizzard, higher elevations in the region can expect snowfall and even Vancouver International Airport could see a few snowflakes. Daytime temperatures are expected to hover around four to five degrees, well below the usual February highs of nine, with overnight lows dipping closer to zero.

This weather is unusual for this time of year. Typically, February offers milder conditions, but this week, residents should anticipate slick roads, reduced visibility and rapid changes in travel conditions. Authorities are urging motorists to exercise caution, especially during the morning and evening commutes, when icy patches can form quickly.
The cold snap could linger through midweek, meaning relief won’t arrive until later and the fluctuating temperatures could affect daily routines, from commuting to outdoor activities. Light snow on elevated areas may create picturesque winter scenes, but it also increases the risk for accidents on roads and pathways.
This is a reminder that winter isn’t over and sudden shifts in weather can have immediate consequences. People are being advised to dress warmly, prepare for potentially slippery sidewalks and monitor local forecasts. While the snowfall may be light, even small accumulations can make a significant difference in urban traffic conditions.
Stay tuned to live weather updates and advisories and make sure you’re prepared for what the week has in store. Follow reliable channels for ongoing coverage and keep safety top of mind as Vancouver faces this unexpected cold spell.
