Nice shot of the tow plow on #BCHwy91 tonight! Drivers can assist crews by providing space for them on highways & moving over safely when they see a vehicle with an amber light approaching. This will allow crews to improve road conditions to reduce hazards for drivers.  #BCStorm

Heavy Rainfall Warnings via @ECCCWeatherBC for #MetroVancouver have ended. Travel Advisories for Extreme Water Pooling are now being rescinded by @DriveBC . Drivers should still reduce speed & watch for isolated areas of water pooling on road. Potholes forming now a concern.

Compact snow with slippery sections across the #LowerMainland . Do not travel unless your vehicle is equipped with winter tires, working head & taillights, wipers, and snow has been cleared off your vehicle. For #BCHwy conditions see #shiftintowinter #BC
