Record-breaking snowfall in Williams Lake
KAMLOOPS — Wednesday was a record breaker when it comes to snowfall in Williams Lake.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Cindy Yu says the central Cariboo town received 19.8 centimetres of snow Wednesday, more than the previous high which fell over three decades ago.
“It was the snowiest Feb. 7 on record. The previous record was set on Feb. 7, 1985 when there was 11.6 centimetres of snow.”
She adds the worst of the snow is now over, but notes motorists should still be careful if venturing out on area highways.
