Snowfall warning issued for parts of Eastern BC

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Dec, 2023 01:24 PM

Parts of eastern B-C are under a snowfall warning with some areas forecast to get as much as 15-centimetres today.

Environment Canada says the Elk Valley area near Fernie, as well as Highway 3 between Grand Forks and Creston, may get enough snow to hamper visibility in the wake of a cold front in the region.

The forecast says the snowfall should ease later today, but residents and motorists should be prepared for deteriorating road conditions.

Further north, the B-C Ministry of Transportation says it is planning a one-hour closure of Highway 1 at Field midday Friday to conduct avalanche control operations.
