Environment Canada is predicting the first snow to start falling as early as Friday. The forecast calls for the white stuff on Saturday, Sunday and Monday before milder temperatures turn some of it to rain.

Earlier this year, the Vancouver area experienced a heavier than usual dump of snow which made side streets impassible and left many vehicles stranded for days.

The City of Vancouver will plow all streets, including the smaller side streets, in addition to the main roads. Residents are also being asked to keep sidewalks in front of their homes clear — there’s a $2,000 fine for building/apartment complex owners if the sidewalk isn’t cleared by 10:00 am.
