Lower mainland residents woke up to snow on Tuesday morning however it wasn't anything like the deep freeze of December.

Snow created slick conditions on the roads and caused delays for commuters in traffic. There were also crashes on many routes of Vancouver and South of the Fraser. Cars got stuck up the hill and there were major delays in transit throughout the day.

#RiderAlert Due to snowy conditions in Metro Vancouver, Bus and SkyTrain service may be impacted across the system today. Please use caution, give yourselves extra travel time and remember to dress warmly in anticipation of potential delays. ^MR
