Parts of Burnaby were treated to a dusting of snow last night as temperatures dropped ahead of an incoming windstorm.
Simon Fraser University’s campus on Burnaby Mountain was covered in white stuff. Luckily, it wasn’t heavy enough to cancel classes but it did have some traffic impacts.

One weather-watcher who was touring the Burnaby Mountain area was surprised a snowfall warning wasn’t issued.
Vancouver’s Ocean Beaches saw Snowflakes falling on them yesterday. But accumulations didn’t begin until 300 feet elevation.

Thus concludes my Storm/Snow chase for this evening. I had fun, Sam the Little Thunderstorm Cloud had fun. I got exactly what I expected to see. Almost everyone in Metro Vancouver didn’t see this one coming, as all eyes are focused, and deservedly so on the Bomb Cyclone tomorrow.… pic.twitter.com/lAfzDlRg7A

Another storm is set to arrive in the Lower Mainland on Tuesday, bringing high winds with it. Environment and Climate Change Canada has a special weather statement up about the powerful winds.
“Coastal areas will see southeasterly winds increase through the afternoon today, with peak wind speeds expected for most areas on tonight. Strong winds are likely to continue on Wednesday morning but should ease later in the day.”
