It’s going to turn into an extended long weekend for many students across Vancouver Island today as a host of schools have announced that they will be closed for the day due to snow.

A winter storm watch remains in effect. According to Environment Canada, the last Pacific storm this week is expected to arrive late Wednesday in the form of a strong warm front.

The front will move in from the south and spread warmer, moist air into the region Wednesday night.

With arctic air in place, there will be heavy snow initially Wednesday night along with a good chance of freezing rain. This will be followed by significant rainfall on Thursday.
