      Snowfall warnings are in effect for the Fraser Valley , where up to 10 centimetres is expected.

      Ten hours after it was issued, Environment Canada ended the Snowfall Warning for Metro Vancouver .
       
      BC Hydro says it's working to restore power to nearly 3,000 customers in Surrey and White Rock after a tree fell on the wires.
