Police said the weather was a factor in several vehicle accidents over the last two days, including one on the Coquihalla highway that left one dead and six injured.

Surrey RCMP officials were also reporting thieves taking advantage of the heavy snow by offering to help stranded motorists and then stealing their cars.

The winter weather is also stopping blood donors from rolling up their sleeves, said Canadian Blood Services.

Attendance at blood-donor clinics is down across the country.

Staff are having a hard time transporting blood products over the snow and ice, the agency said. Platelets, used to treat cancer patients, are in particularly short supply.
