MERRITT, B.C. — A snowfall warning is in effect for the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt.
Environment Canada says nearly 15 centimetres of snowfall is expected on the stretch of Highway 5 Friday (Nov. 22).
“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow, Environment Canada states. “Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for taillights ahead and be prepared to stop.”
The weather agency adds weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.
