Winter makes a brief return: Snow falls across Surrey
Published 2:10 pm Tuesday, March 10, 2026
Surrey experienced a quick blast of winter on Tuesday, March 10, as snow fell through the city.
Although the snow did not stick in many areas, some places did see a few centimetres accumulate.
Video from DriveBC’s traffic cameras at Highway 17 and Bridgeview Drive shows snow flurries starting around 10:15 a.m. By 11 a.m., the snowfall was mostly over, and by 1:41 p.m., most of it had melted.
A Black Press freelancer noted a Coast Mountain transit bus had gotten stuck on 104 Ave near Old Yale Road in the morning.
The City of Surrey’s snowplow vehicles were out in force on Tuesday, ensuring that the roads were clear.
Surrey residents can check surrey.ca/snow to see which roads have been plowed and also track the city’s 77-unit fleet of snow-clearing, de-icing trucks, backhoes and tractors.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Tuesday morning that stated that “trace to 4 cm” of snow was expected for areas near sea level and “near or possibly exceeding 5 cm for higher terrain” was expected Tuesday, with the risk shifting on Wednesday to just higher terrain and inland sections.
On Wednesday (March 10), there is a 60 per cent chance of showers overnight in White Rock.
