Environment Canada is warning of heavy snowfall for eastern and central B.C. on Tuesday, a day after some regions on the coast broke cold temperature records.
Snowfall warnings of up to 10 centimetres have been posted for the Okanagan including Vernon and north around Prince George, while regions further east could see up to 20 centimetres of snow.
The weather agency says an arctic front moving across eastern British Columbia is responsible for much of the chill.
It warns drivers to prepare for changing conditions that could make navigating the roads difficult and cause sudden losses of visibility.
A mix of light snow, rain and freezing rain is in the forecast for parts Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and eastern Vancouver Island.
