Let it snow!
While it doesn't exactly look like a winter wonderland in all parts of the Lower Mainland, locals have recorded snowfall across the region.
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Metro Vancouver, with up to 5 cm of snowfall expected this afternoon. However, snowfall amounts will vary wildly depending on elevation, precipitation intensity and proximity to the water.
Earlier this morning, the federal weather forecaster issued a special weather statement, which called for heavy rainfall followed the possibility of wet snow later in the day.
Locals across the Lower Mainland took to Twitter to share videos and photos of the snowfall, with a number of people stating that the snow was sticking on the ground.
Have a look at some videos and photos of the snowfall Metro Vancouverites shared today.

About 1cm of wet snow so far but if this intensity keeps up, we’ll be at 3-4cms in no time!#LetItSnow #DiabaticCooling #BCstorm pic.twitter.com/p4vYCPZCNk
