Environment Canada is warning drivers to be aware and stay safe while driving over the Malahat.
Wet snow is forecasted tonight and on Boxing Day, and will likely accumulate in the higher terrain.
A Pacific frontal system is bringing cool air and precipitation across Vancouver Island, which will create a mix of snow and rain.
5 cm of snowfall is expected, which may impact roadways, especially at higher elevations.
Environment Canada says the precipitation will ease by midday on Boxing Day, but weather conditions can change suddenly, and they are advising drivers to plan ahead, visit theĀ Drive BC website, and be safe while in transit.
