Heavy Snowfall Alerts Issued for Highways in Southern B.C.

For those hitting the road this Remembrance Day long weekend , Environment Canada has issued three highway alerts for heavy snowfall, including Highway 3 , the Coquihalla and the Trans-Canada Highway .

“It’s going to be spreading quite a bit of precipitation across the mountains, and with freezing levels reaching levels where we’re seeing this rain and snow mix turn over to snow, we’re expecting that the system is going to bring a fair amount of snow across the highway passes, basically for Saturday into Sunday," said Charbonneau.

“We’re looking at the potential to see some difficult winter travel conditions with reduced visibility and blowing snow. We are seeing some snow that's coming, it's not quite reaching the level of a snowfall warning, but potentially there we could see some of that reduced visibility as the snow is falling," she added.
