Did you venture out to work or school today?
If so, you were probably met with a rather difficult, if not impossible commute. While the Ministry of Transportation has advised drivers to stay off the roads, TransLink has stated its customers ought to stay home, too.
Nevertheless, a number of locals braved the elements, and have shared their 'snowpocolypse' photos and videos on social media. Earlier this morning, a video was shared on Twitter of a group of people trying to push a bus up a hill. Now, @Banforeignoen1 has tweeted an image of 20 buses stuck on Granille Street and the Granville Street Bridge headed south bound. The poster advises, "Take the train if you can, it'll be a while."

Have a look at some more photos and videos of Metro Vancouver's snow madness.At least 5cm of new #snow in #RichmondBC right now (4:45am). And it’s still falling! The bunnies are having fun. @NEWS1130Weather @NEWS1130 #VancouverSnowStorm2020 #BCStorm pic.twitter.com/yfh1jlfRUw

More snow adventures... here's a close call on Parker in Burnaby. I saw this pickup barrelling down the road, blasting through the intersection and stepped aside well enough in advance, but still. #bcstorm #vancouversnowstorm2020 pic.twitter.com/PY3szbXpIR

In 15 years, this is only the second time #WestGeorgiaSt has looked like this. #snow coming down sideways and the road is covered.

It's not a good day to be a bus driver in Vancouver...or a transit supervisor. Look at their teamwork though 🤝✊🏼 Thanks @TransLink for doing your best to get people to their destinations during #Snowmageddon2020 #WTRegion pic.twitter.com/Ua1jUJyVGo

If you can stay at home this morning, do it. The @TransLink 555 can’t even make it up Austin Avenue. Four had to be abandoned. Roads are in bad shape, SkyTrain is delayed too. pic.twitter.com/a9TindJgki

Why was the snow on a major street like 41st not cleared? @CityofVancouver Good job for the translink driver to make it up the hill at Kingsway and 41st @TransLink pic.twitter.com/3boGKD6Ssr
