There is a chance of snow on Wednesday evening, Feb. 22, and again on the weekend, according to the Environment Canada forecast for Pitt Meadows.

The forecast says there will be a 60-70 per cent chance of flurries in the afternoon and overnight through to 3 a.m.

The temperature will be a chilly -4C overnight, rising to a high of just above freezing on Thursday, at 1C. The wind chill will bring a feel of -10C, said the weather forecaster.

The clouds will give way to mainly cloudy and then sunny weather on Thursday.

There will be a chance of more snow on Saturday, particularly overnight, and the probability of snow is still in the forecast until early next week.
