CHILLIWACK — There’s no relief in sight for Chilliwack residents who are tired of snow and bitter cold already.

Environment Canada posted a winter storm watch just after 4 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 21) in which it advised another significant winter storm will bring snowy conditions back to Chilliwack for Round 2 this week.

“A Pacific frontal system combined with the cold Arctic airmass over B.C. will bring another round of snow to the South Coast starting Thursday night,” Environment Canada wrote. “As freezing level rises, the snow will then change to rain late Friday over Vancouver Island, and Friday night or Saturday morning over the mainland with possible snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 cm.”

Environment Canada advises travel conditions will be challenging, especially ahead of the busy Christmas travel season, due to heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and rain on snow or ice.

The storm is expected to last through to Saturday, Christmas Eve.
