As another round of snow falls on Vancouver Island, the Malahat and east Vancouver Island could see 10 to 20 cm of the white stuff Thursday (Jan. 18).
A Pacific low pressure system combined with cold outflow winds from the mainland inlets will produce snow over east Vancouver Island on Thursday afternoon, according to Environment Canada. Areas near the Strait of Georgia can expect 10 cm while inland areas can expect up to 20 cm.
