Snowfall already creating traffic issues
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops is receiving its first significant snow event of the season. And it’s already causing problems on the mountain passes. There have been several crashes south of Merritt, at Comstock and Larson Hill, causing the southbound lanes to be closed. The road is expected to be closed at least until 9:00 AM, according to the Drive B.C. web site. This information as of 7:00 AM.
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the mountain passes and for the South Thompson.
An Arctic front will move across the southwest Interior today, bringing snow, especially on the highway passes.
Kamloops, Salmon Arm, and the north Okanagan are expected to be affected.
