Significant snowfall hits Coquihalla Summit
KAMLOOPS — Motorists are being reminded to practice extra caution on the Coquihalla Summit after a large snowfall overnight.
According to Environment Canada, 44 centimetres of snow fell on the summit in the last 24 hours, with another 10 centimetres forecast for today.
However, Environment Canada Meteorologist Trevor Smith says flurries should ease off by tomorrow.
“We’re going to see the true arctic air move down over the province in the next 24 hours so it’s going to be much colder but drier fortunately,” Smith said. “Probably Thursday is when we’ll see snow as the next Pacific system comes in”
