Drive BC reports a travel advisory in effect this morning from Duncan to Victoria (as of 7:25 am) because of limited visibility from falling snow and compact snow with slippery sections on the highway.

People are urged to avoid non essential travel.
Municipal snow ploughs have been at work throughout the weekend clearing major roads and residential streets in the community.
