Heavy snow fell Sunday, Monday and Tuesday on Vancouver Island, leading to school closures and treacherous road conditions.

And now, five to 10 centimetres of snow is predicted on east Vancouver Island, Greater Victoria and the southern Gulf Islands this afternoon and this evening. The snow is expected to be wetter than earlier this week.

So there may be some messy conditions as Vancouver Island residents continue to dig out from these snowfall totals:
