Wet snow warning on Trans-Canada Highway

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 Oct, 2024 01:10 PM
  • Wet snow warning on Trans-Canada Highway

B-C is little more than a week into fall, but Environment Canada is warning of wet snow in the northeast and along a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway. 

Muncho Lake and Stone Mountain provincial parks west of Fort Nelson are expected to see about 10 centimetres before the snow eases later today.

The weather office says the snow is the result of a cooler airmass travelling south from Yukon and clashing with moist air from the Pacific.

A special weather statement is in effect for a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway between Salmon Arm and Golden, where the forecaster says five to 10 centimetres of wet snow could make for slippery conditions.
