Snowfall expected for higher elevations on #BCHwy5 #Coquihalla #BCHwy97C & #BCHwy3 #KootenayPass. Please use caution.
"Snowfall accumulation remains uncertain as warmer road surfaces will allow some of the snow to melt and snow levels will rise to near 1500 metres this afternoon," read Environment Canada's statement.
"However, additional snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm are possible near Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector and near the summits of Highway 3 - Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass."
