“A cool and unstable airmass over the South Coast will bring freezing levels to near sea level before Tuesday morning,” stated Environment and Climate Change Canada, highlighting the urgency of the situation in Surrey and Delta.

In response to the frigid temperatures, extreme weather response shelters in Delta will be operational on March 9 and 10. The women’s only shelter at Crossroads United Church will welcome guests from 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., providing 10 inclusive spaces for self-identified women aged 19 and over.

Meanwhile, the South Delta EWR shelter at Ladner United Church will be open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., accommodating up to nine guests aged 19 and over, including couples. These measures come as temperatures are expected to feel at or below 0°C.

The Homelessness Services Association of BC issued an extreme weather response alert for Delta on March 8, underscoring the need for immediate action to support vulnerable populations during this cold snap.

In addition to the shelters, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for potential snow on March 10 and 11. The forecast indicates that snowfall accumulations will be highly variable across the region.

“Due to the convective nature of the precipitation, snowfall accumulations will be highly variable across the region,” added Environment Canada, indicating that residents should prepare for unpredictable weather conditions.

Current forecast guidance suggests the potential for 2 to 5 cm of snow, which could further complicate travel and safety in the area. Local authorities are urging residents to stay informed and take precautions.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the weather impact, but community services are mobilizing to ensure that those in need have access to safe shelter during this extreme weather event.

As the situation develops, updates will be provided to keep the public informed about weather conditions and available resources in Surrey and Delta.
