It seems that British Columbia is never safe from the snow — no matter what time of the year it is.
Despite sunny skies and high temperatures in the Lower Mainland, Environment Canada has issued a Snowfall Warning for parts of Northern BC.
The warning is in effect for:
- Fort Nelson
- Muncho Lake Park — Stone Mountain Park
The snow, which began over the weekend, is expected to slowly ease over the course of the day. Snowfall of up to 4 cm is expected at higher elevations, specifically between Fort Nelson and Watson Lake.
Highway 97, approximately 80 km northwest of Fort Nelson (Drive BC)
Highway 97, approximately 6 km south of the Sikanni River Bridge and 175 km north of Fort St. John (Drive BC)
The weather agency is recommending that all non-essential travel through the area be delayed, due to the “heavy snowfall accumulation” and reduced visibility.
