Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt.
Around 30-40 cm of snow is expected to fall Friday evening, Dec. 5, and last till Saturday night, Dec. 6. According to Environment Canada a “moist frontal system will bring continuous snow to the Coquihalla Summit.” Drivers should expect around 15 cm of snow Friday night, between 10-15 cm during the day on Saturday, and another 5-10 cm of snow before it eases Saturday night.
Drivers are asked to prepare for the snow conditions — which will make travel challenging and reduce visibility — and allow extra time for travel. They are also asked to “adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.”
