Here are the top stories across the Lower Mainland for Monday, Feb. 11.
1. One winter storm passes, another looms on B.C.’s south coast
Not long after a heavy snowstorm hit on Sunday afternoon, Environment Canada issued another snowfall warning for the region, with another 10 to 15 centimetres expected.
Looks like mother nature strapped on and gave us a solid 9.5 inches last night (24cm) out in Langley #BC. đlol #BCStorm Ready for round two tonight?? pic.twitter.com/dexCy309Ea

Are you prepared #Langley? Snow is on its way. Now is the time to check you emergency supplies at home and in your vehicle. @PreparedBC @bchydro #bcstorm https://t.co/zwHXQpHwda

4. The weather is stealing Abbotsford’s trampolines
The high winds made off with more than a few trampolines from people’s backyards.
One person said their trampoline flew over a six-foot fence. A Facebook video shared with us shows a trampoline on the sidewalk of a busy street. Imagine driving and a god damn trampoline comes flying at your god damn car.
Like Birds but so much bigger and more terrifying. https://t.co/nURqO1Nmnu

5. Rolling Stones to play only one Canadian stop – and it won’t be in B.C.
Ever heard of Oro-Medonte, Ontario? Yeah, me neither.
