Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It’s a popular refrain this time of year, at least for those who aren’t dreading a chaotic commute on snow-packed roads.

And if forecasters are to be believed, Capital Region drivers are about to find themselves in Old Man Winter’s grip. Environment Canada is predicting a chance of showers or flurries over the weekend in Victoria, with heavier snowfalls expected early next week.
That snow is sure to present some dicey situations on local roads, especially if your vehicle isn’t properly equipped.
