Hazardous winter conditions are expected. A moist Pacific frontal system is spreading moisture from the southwest. Snow will intensify over the Howe Sound to Whistler corridor this evening. Also the potential for freezing rain is expected overnight before the colder Arctic air at the surface modifies. The transition to rain over Howe Sound will be delayed to Thursday afternoon. Total snowfall amounts will vary from around 10 to 15 cm over southern Howe Sound to 30 to 40 near Squamish and likely 50 or more near Whistler. In addition, strong northerly winds near 70 km/h will continue over southern sections of Howe Sound giving reduced visibilities in blowing snow through early Thursday morning. ### Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.
