Some people on Vancouver Island woke up to snow on Sunday morning, others did not.
However, for those thinking they escaped the white stuff, Environment Canada says more snow could be on the way.
The federal weather agency updated its snowfall warnings for the region early Sunday morning, saying that between two to 15 centimetres are expected by Monday morning.
It says communities near the water such as Comox, Parksville, Nanaimo and lower elevations of Metro Vancouver could see up to five centimetres of snow, while rain or wet snow is also possible in these areas with no accumulations.
Higher elevations and inland sections of Vancouver Island, as well as Metro Vancouver, the western Fraser Valley, and the Sunshine Coast are expected to see greater accumulations.
Environment Canada says precipitation is expected to ease Sunday afternoon and then return in the evening, with snowfall at night and on Monday mainly accumulating over higher elevations.
The agency is asking residents to be prepared to adjust their driving with changing road conditions, as rapidly falling snow could make travel difficult in some locations.
