Planning on braving the cold this weekend?
Victoria, along with most regions of Vancouver Island have now seen their first snowfall, and that is just the beginning.
At the time of this publication, there is an “Arctic outflow” warning in effect by Environment Canada due to strong winds bringing colder than normal temperatures with them.
Although there is no snow in Victoria’s forecast, many other areas will be getting some snowfall this weekend, so Victoria Buzz has compiled all major intersection DriveBC cameras to show drivers what they can expect before heading out.
The Malahat, Sooke Road, Highway 17 and Highway 4 can all be dangerous and are easily backed up if a collision occurs.
If you’re concerned of the road conditions before heading out, here are the latest images from DriveBC on the highways with a high frequency of commuters—these images will update every 15 minutes:
