Lots of wet snow predicted to hit Island Monday morning

The sun is out on much of the Island today, but snow is coming.

Environment Canada warns there’s a potential for significant accumulations of snow on parts of the Island and coast tomorrow morning. A special weather statement says the snow could reach sea level along coastal sections of the south coast and eastern Vancouver Island.
