Vancouver residents woke up to heavy late-season snowfall on Feb. 28, 2023.

As Vancouver is blanketed with more snow, locals share mixed reactions. 

Vancouverites woke up to heavy snowfall this morning (Feb. 28) following a second winter storm alert for the region which called for up to 10 cm of fresh powder starting Monday (Feb. 27) evening.

Those using transit should expect delayed, detoured or cancelled bus routes across the city due to slippery road conditions. Several commuters shared footage of long line-ups.

Many locals observe that the heavy snowfall isn't typical of late February weather.

 

However, most folks are in awe of the winter scenery.

Some are surprised at how much snow Vancouver received compared to other provinces.
