Snowfall warnings issued for eastern Vancouver Island and southern Interior.
Parts of Metro Vancouver got their first snow overnight Thursday, but there were few reports it was impacting the morning commute in most areas on Friday morning.
The heaviest snow was reported in the UBC area, parts of Surrey and higher elevations on the North Shore and Port Moody.
TransLink reported there were no major issues with their service but riders were advised to dress warmly and expect crowded conditions as people leave their cars at home.
No problems were reported with the SkyTrain lines or with buses at SFU.
Out at UBC a fallen branch on University Boulevard did result in the closure of the route and the rerouting of the 99 B-line trolley buses. There were also problems with the trolley buses downtown near Robson Square.
Elsewhere in the province snowfall warnings have been issued for eastern Vancouver Island and and the southern Interior.
Residents of many interior communities were also facing heavy snow for the morning commute, but Drive BC was reporting that snow had been cleared from most interior highways.
