“A cool and unstable airmass over the South Coast will bring freezing levels to near sea level before Tuesday morning,” said a representative from Environment and Climate Change Canada. This warning comes as Delta prepares to open extreme weather response shelters on March 9 and 10 due to frigid temperatures expected to feel at or below 0°C.

The women’s only shelter at Crossroads United Church will be operational 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 accommodate up to nine guests aged 19 and over and couples, remaining open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.

These measures follow an extreme weather response alert issued by the Homelessness Services Association of BC for Delta on March 8, highlighting the urgent need for shelter as temperatures drop.

In addition to the cold, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement regarding potential snow on March 10 and 11. Current forecasts indicate that snowfall accumulations are expected to be highly variable across the region, with guidance suggesting a potential accumulation of 2 to 5 cm.

“Due to the convective nature of the precipitation, snowfall accumulations will be highly variable across the region,” the agency noted, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the upcoming weather.

As the community braces for these conditions, local organizations such as Options Community Services and BC Housing are working to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to safe shelter during this extreme weather event.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact impacts of the snowfall and how it may affect shelter operations. However, the community is urged to stay informed and prepared as the weather develops.

With the combination of low temperatures and the possibility of snow, residents are advised to take precautions and monitor updates from local authorities.

As of March 9, 2026, Surrey and the surrounding areas of Metro Vancouver are under a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada. This alert indicates the potential for snowfall, with forecasts predicting 2 to 5 centimetres of snow in the region.

Environment Canada has noted that a cool and unstable airmass over the South Coast will bring freezing levels close to sea level before Tuesday morning. The low freezing levels combined with an approaching trough of low pressure will likely produce bands of flurries or showers on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

The special weather statement applies to several cities, including Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Delta. Residents are advised to prepare for the possibility of snow accumulation, particularly in the North Shore mountains and the Surrey Delta Highland, which are expected to see the most significant snowfall.

In addition to the snow, temperatures in Delta are predicted to feel at or below 0°C, with daytime highs only reaching 4°C on Tuesday. Overnight temperatures are expected to dip to 1°C on Monday and Friday, and down to 0°C on Friday night.

To address the cold weather, extreme weather shelters in Delta will be open on March 9 and 10, providing inclusive spaces for women and those in need. These shelters are crucial as temperatures are forecasted to be dangerously low.

Power outages have also been reported in Northern B.C., affecting over 1,300 customers due to strong winds. B.C. Hydro has stated that customers in areas such as Vanderhoof, Granisle, and Fort Babine are expected to remain without power overnight as crews work to restore service.

Drivers are urged to check road conditions before traveling, as icy conditions may pose hazards on the roads. The Coquihalla highway is currently open after a previous closure due to a jack-knifed semi truck, but delays are still reported.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron commented on the situation, stating that transport trucks are still backed up on the highway leaving Kamloops, indicating ongoing challenges in the area.

As the weather continues to develop, residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest forecasts and advisories. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the weather impact, but preparations are essential for safety during this period of cold and potential snowfall.
