Burnaby got a small taste of snow on Saturday and late Sunday night.

It could be worse on Tuesday, according to Mainroad – the contractor that takes care of Metro Vancouver main highways, including Highway 1 through Burnaby.

“A weather event is anticipated to impact the Lower Mainland ahead of the Tuesday morning commute, approximately 5:00 am,” says a Mainroad statement. “In anticipation, Mainroad will be performing snow removal operations on all highways until the event passes, roadways are clear and back to normal. Our 24-hour communication and dispatch office will pass on all your observations and concerns to our crews when contacted.”
As weather conditions change rapidly, motorists are reminded to visit www.drivebc.ca and follow local weather reports before heading out. 

Please slow down and drive to the conditions. Or perhaps stay home on Tuesday if you can.

We all saw what happened last month when the snow hit. It was ugly so please be prepared.
