A predicted high temperature on Wednesday of 0 for Greater Victoria means ice and snow left over from earlier in the week will stick around. Then, another storm Thursday will likely add new snow.
Environment Canada issued a new Special Weather Statement Wednesday morning saying "an intense Pacific storm will reach the South Coast on Thursday. With cold Arctic air entrenched, the storm will likely bring significant snowfall to the South Coast. Snow will begin over Vancouver Island Thursday afternoon and over the Lower Mainland early Thursday evening. Strong winds are also expected with this storm.
"On Friday snow in low lying coastal communities will probably change to rain. However, for communities at higher elevation areas or inland, precipitation will remain in the form of snow."
The City of Victoria's bylaw department is reminding people that it's their responsibility to clear sidewalks in front of their homes and businesses.
Road conditions Wednesday morning were much improved compared to the previous day, with no major crashes reported.
