Vancouver's snow-free run could end as late-winter warnings issued in southwest B.C.

Environment Canada warns up to 20 cm of snow on Coquihalla Highway and 2–5 cm in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, affecting commutes and travel safety.

  • On March 10, 2026, Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a snowfall warning for western and southern Vancouver Island and a special weather statement for Metro Vancouver.
  • A cool, unstable airmass over B.C. is driving snowfall as freezing levels near sea level and convective precipitation produce variable flurries Tuesday and Wednesday.
  • ECCC guidance shows Metro Vancouver could receive two to five centimetres of snow at higher elevations Tuesday and Wednesday, while Greater Victoria may see up to five centimetres and snow is forecast for Nanaimo, Duncan and Port Alberni.
  • Travel disruptions include Metro Vancouver drivers being advised to wait on all‑season tires because of forecasted snow and crashes on the Coquihalla Highway, where the RCMP recommended avoiding it.
  • Vancouver has yet to record a measurable snowfall at the Vancouver airport and could finish with the first snow‑free season since 1982‑83, while another storm track may bring wet snow later this week and temperatures falling to 0°C Friday night.
