Yet another round of snowfall hit Metro Vancouver, East Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley overnight and into Sunday morning.

Environment Canada and city officials across the region reminded drivers to slow down and use caution on the roads.

City of Vancouver crews were spreading brine and saltingmajor roadways overnight in preparation.

Cars were still sliding in the slush, with one car narrowly missing another as it slipped down Boundary Road between Burnaby and Vancouver.

Trevor Smith, ameteorologist with Environment Canada, said the flurries could continue on and off until Monday before getting back to rain later in the week.

He said the weather isn't completely out of the ordinary for Metro Vancouver.

"If you look at the 30-year average of records at Vancouver International Airport, they normally see a few centimetresin the month of March. So it's certainly not unheard of for Vancouver to see snow at this time of year."

Sunday was the airport's snowiest March day since 2009 with 5 centimetres by 5 a.m.

As for the possibility of snow in April, Smith said "you never know."
