A snowfall warning is in effect for eastern Vancouver Island and the Greater Victoria region.

The weather office says "periods of heavy snow" will begin late Monday and last through Tuesday morning.

"Snow will begin this evening and quickly intensify before tapering off to periods of light snow early Tuesday morning," the agency said. Environment Canada says a low-pressure system off Vancouver Island is expected to draw out cold air from the B.C. Interior. "As it crosses the Strait of Georgia, periods of heavy snow will develop across the Malahat highway, especially near the summit," the agency said.Meanwhile, electricity has been restored to all but a handful of BC Hydro customers after Friday night's windstorm knocked out power to nearly 80,000 on Vancouver Island.

Crews worked around the clock over the weekend to restore power to the roughly 330,000 customers who lost electricity provincewide during the storm.
