Pedestrians are also being warned to watch out for slippery sidewalks due to ice and snow.

Downed wires, snow and ice are also causing problems for BC Transit, with a number of route closures, detours or delays. BC Transit is asking customers to plan ahead and watch their NextRide system for updates.

Local police departments are warning residents to continue to use caution as temperatures remain near the freezing mark.
