City of Richmond crews have been out all night, clearing and treating roads, after about four centimetres of snow fell overnight.

However, due to the sub-zero conditions, much of the uncleared snow on minor roads compacted and froze, making it a hazardous commute Monday morning.

While there are no reports of major accidents, as yet, the Richmond News witnessed several fender bender incidents on Westminster Highway at Garden City Road.
