Snowfall warnings issued for Coquihalla and Hwy 3, up to 30 cm expected

Drivers have been urged to consider postponing non-essential travel today after snowfall warnings were issued for two BC Interior highways.

The Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt and Hwy 3 between Hope and Princeton via Allison Pass are both forecast to receive up to 30 centimetres of snow.

Environment Canada issued the warning last night, but it applies through Friday evening.

“A Pacific frontal system will continue to impact southern BC today,” the department’s meteorologist explained in their warning bulletin.

“Periods of heavy snow will persist through this afternoon, and ease by early evening.”

The warning adds that drivers should expect the possibility of delays.

“Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve,” the bulletin reads. “If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.”
