Snowfall warning issued for Coquihalla’s Merritt-to-Hope stretch

KAMLOOPS — While Kamloops emerges from winter weather and looks forward to spring, the highest elevations of the Coquihalla corridor are still in the midst of a winter wonderland.

Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the Merritt-to-Hope stretch of the highway, with amounts of up to 15 to 20 centimetres expected today and tonight.

The forecaster says “accumulations will vary dramatically with elevation along the route.”

Motorists are advised to adjust their driving with changing conditions.
