A snowfall warning for the Coquihalla Highway issued by Environment Canada remains in place on Saturday, Dec. 6.
Originally issued on Friday afternoon, the stretch of highway from Hope to Merritt is expecting 30-40cm of snow throughout the day on Saturday.
“A moist frontal system is bringing continuous snow to the Coquihalla Summit, lasting until tonight,” said the government weather agency. “Snowfall totals could reach 30-40 cm by then, with the possibility of 10-15 cm today and another 5-10 cm expected before the snow eases overnight.”
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.”
