Snowfall warnings span B.C.’s southern Interior, power mostly back on after storm - Terrace Standard

Environment Canada has issued a series of snowfall warnings spanning much of British Columbia’s southern Interior along with the east coast of Vancouver Island, as crews work to restore power to the last few thousand homes affected by a powerful windstorm Friday night.

Those routes include Highway 97 from Clinton to 100 Mile House, Highway 3 from Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass, as well as Hope to Princeton, the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, and the Okanagan Connector. It says there’s also potential for snow to accumulate along the east coast of Vancouver Island between Duncan and Nanaimo before clearing up Tuesday.

The Crown utility says crews have been working around the clock to replace dozens of spans of power line, hydro polls, transformers and other equipment damaged by the storm that produced gusts of wind up to 90 kilometres per hour in Vancouver.
