Many residents of British Columbia's south coast woke up to rain on Sunday after expecting an overnight snow dump, but Environment Canada warns snow is still in the forecast. It says communities near the water such as Comox, Parksville, Nanaimo could see up to five centimetres of snow, while rain or wet snow is still possible in the lower elevations of Metro Vancouver. Snow is expected on the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Island, the Central Coast, and in parts of Metro Vancouver. A Special Weather Statement is in effect over the South Coast for snow starting Saturday night to Sunday(Jan. 23-24, 2021)! Environment Canada warns that wet and slushy snow may make for a messy commute in the valley Monday morning and power outages are also possible if heavy, wet snow accumulates on trees.
