Kamloops residents dig out

Dec 28, 2015 | 12:59 PM

KAMLOOPS — Residents spent much of the morning digging out, after a huge dump of snow blanketed the city over the Christmas weekend

According to Environment Canada, the city received 20 cm of snow over the past two days (December 26/27) not quite enough to beat the record set in 1965, but enough to make residents tired of constantly shovelling.

While it looks like the worst of the storm is over, Winter weather over the last few days created less than desirable conditions at the Kamloops airport.

During the height of the storm, crews worked hard to keep the runway and roads in and out of Fulton Field clear of snow. Fortunately, that work resulted in air passengers only having to deal some minor delays.

This is one of the busiest weeks for the Kamloops Airport, with travellers flying back home from Christmas holidays, or heading away for new years. 

Passengers are advised to check their flight status in advance and be prepared to have some patience if there is delays or cancellations.
