From yesterday night, heavy snow has fallen in Metro Vancouver.
You will see all school districts issued the School Close notice early this morning. UBC had the notice yesterday. A lot of offices closed today.
Let us see the pictures I took this afternoon.
The snow is very dry and fluffy.
On Twitter, The worker cleans the snow on the pillar of the bridge.
WATCH: Transportation ministry video shows a Rope Access Technician (or RAT) anchored high up on the pillars of the Alex Fraser Bridge, knocking off snow and ice to prevent ice bombs.

If you don’t have to be on the roads, please stay home. Some hills in the Lower Mainland have been closed due to icy conditions, buses are getting stuck and even some trucks are causing traffic backups

Due to the very cold temperature the past week, one of our neighbors had a pipe-busting incident yesterday afternoon. Luckily, there is resident found it immediately after. So turn off the water main. The plumber came and opened the wall, and found it is the frozen pipe from the next door.
When I checked the BC Hydro outage map, I saw someplace has no power because of a tree down across the wires.
In the extreme weather, I pray for all the people working outside to be safe. I pray for the families in a warm and comfortable place to stay.
God, hear my prayers.
