Snowfall warnings and special weather statements covered much of southern BC Friday morning
BY , Oct 23, 2020 9:33 PM - REPORT AN ERRORSnowfall warnings and special weather statements covered much of southern BC this morning as a winter-like system made many roads treacherous.
Snowfall warnings are posted for the East Kootenay, the Fraser Valley east to the Okanagan Valley and all the way north to the Chilcotin region, while special weather statements extend from the inland central coast, across the south coast and entire lower third of the province.
Environment Canada is calling for five to 15 centimetres at higher elevations before the storm moves on later today.
The heavy, wet snow had already closed the Coquihalla Highway before 7 this morning, as big rigs spun out on slippery Larson Hill, and Drive BC also issued an advisory for the Coquihalla connector, urging those heading to or from West Kelowna to consider an alternate route.
