Snowfall warning issued for Coquihalla Highway
KAMLOOPS — Old Man Winter isn’t quite done with the Coquihalla Highway yet.
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the highway’s Hope to Merritt section.
“We’ve got a Pacific frontal system. It’s moving across the province over the next 24 to 36 hours and with freezing levels sitting fairly low still. We’re still in this cold air mass,” says Meteorologist Lisa West. “We’ve already seen around eight centimetres fall overnight and today we’re expecting another 10. A further five to 10 tonight and then another five before tomorrow. So, the snow is going to be continually falling for the next 36 hours.”
She’s expecting far less snow on the Merritt to Kamloops section though.
