Oh, you thought winter was over?
Two to four cm of snow has already fallen across southern Vancouver Island, and Environment Canada has just issued a snowfall warning for Greater Victoria stating another 5 to 10 cm of snow is possible.
Traffic nightmare
The snowfall lead to several accidents around the region and many vehicles were abandoned along Highway near Thetis Lake.
