Overnight snow has blanketed southwest British Columbia, resulting in school closures across the region and a difficult morning commute.

Up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to accumulate in some places by Wednesday evening, thanks to a low-pressure system moving in from the Pacific Ocean, according to Environment Canada.

A snowfall warning is in place for all of Metro Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler, the Sunshine Coast and most of southern B.C.

All school districts in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley announced early Wednesday that schools would not open.
