LOCAL WINTER RISK PROFILE
Richmond Winter Conditions, Flat Terrain & Refreeze Risk
Richmond sits on low-lying island terrain where wet winter precipitation and near-freezing temperatures can move snow risk from accumulation to meltwater, drainage and black ice.

ANNUAL SNOWFALL

SNOWIEST MONTH

JANUARY AVG. LOW

Temperatures remain near freezing
Flat Terrain & Drainage
Richmond averages roughly one metre above sea level.
Flat paved areas can retain meltwater around low points and catch basins.
Snow placement should preserve drainage routes as conditions warm.
Operational Focus
Catch Basins • Low Points • Lot Edges
Coastal Frost & Refreeze
Richmond’s coastal conditions make frost an important winter hazard.
Conditions can vary across the city from Steveston to Hamilton.
Cleared pavement may become slippery again as surface moisture freezes.
Highest Exposure
Shaded Pavement • Entrances • Ramps
Industrial & Logistics Access
Transportation, warehousing and logistics are major parts of Richmond’s economy.
Industrial sites depend on continuous truck, loading and employee access.
Large yards require equipment and snow-storage planning before accumulation begins.
Industrial Focus
Bridgeport • East Cambie • East Richmond • Mitchell Island
City Centre & Pedestrian Demand
Brighouse, Aberdeen, Capstan and surrounding City Centre areas combine transit, retail, offices and high-density development.
Entrances and pedestrian routes can remain busy during winter events.
Clearing priorities should reflect operating hours and site traffic.
City Centre Focus
No. 3 Road • Brighouse • Aberdeen • Capstan
Sidewalk Clearing Requirements
Richmond requires commercial, industrial and multi-family properties to clear adjacent sidewalks by 10:00 a.m.
The requirement applies every day.
Failure to clear snow and ice can result in a $125 fine.
Bylaw Focus
10 a.m. Deadline • Daily Clearing • Adjacent Sidewalks
Climate values use Environment and Climate Change Canada’s 1991–2020 normals for Vancouver International Airport, located on Sea Island in Richmond.
