For December 24 to 28 “drive slow in the snow”, says City of Langford Engineering.
Snow is in the weather forecast for those approximate dates for the Greater Victoria area, with overnight temperatures below zero for that period.
That may impact the local travel plans over Christmas Eve, Christmas, Boxing Day, and the early part of the work week (for anyone working during the week between Christmas and New Year).
As Christmas falls on a Saturday, Monday December 27 becomes a statutory holiday in BC.
Any sort of road incidents or accidents means less Christmas-season time off for road workers and possibly also first responders (like firefighters and paramedics).
