Many vehicles were crawling at a snail's pace on Scott Road this morning but traffic, which appeared to have a lighter volume than usual, was at least moving.

It's been a day of difficult driving conditions, road closures and big delays for transit commuters. Spun out vehicles have beeen reported all over. South Delta still reportedly has slippery conditions.

The latest forecast by Environment Canada has the snow transitioning to showers, depending where you are: "Snowfall warning in effect for: Metro Vancouver - North Shore including West Vancouver and North Vancouver, Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley. An area of low pressure currently offshore will approach the BC Coast late this afternoon. The low will bring strong southeasterly winds to the region. This will create a slow transition from snow to rain for areas mainly near the Strait of Georgia and low lying areas tonight. However, cold air will remain in place over the North Shore, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, as well as northern sections of Langley and Surrey. Snowfall accumulations of 10 cm is expected over these areas tonight as a result. The snow will ease to scattered showers or flurries Thursday."
