iN PHOTOS: Some Okanagan residents digging out of large snow dump from winter storm

The new year started off with a snow storm for some residents across the Okanagan.

The fresh wave of wintery weather was received in Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Vernon but Penticton didn't seem to get nearly as much snow accumulation.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for a winter storm that hit the Southern Interior last night and into this morning, Jan. 3.

If you have any photos of last night's storm, add it into comments on the iNFOnews Kelowna, Vernon or Penticton Facebook pages.
