Share On

More snow is forecast for parts of British Columbia on Groundhog Day.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Sunshine Coast, East Vancouver Island and the Malahat Highway, saying these areas could see up to five centimetres of snow.

The weather agency says a Pacific frontal system will move onto the B-C South Coast on Wednesday, which will initially bring snow before warmer air pushes in allowing it to change to rain.

It says up to 10 centimetres of snow is forecast in Whitehorse, Teslin, Atlin, and Dease Lake with the heaviest amounts expected overnight and early Wednesday morning, and tapering off in the afternoon.
