In its warning, Environment Canada explained: “A frontal system moving into interior BC will bring heavy snow to the Coquihalla Summit today. The system will pass late today but snow will continue through Wednesday due to an unstable southwest flow.”
Referring to Hwy 1, the forecaster added: “Travel will likely be challenging. Visibility will likely be reduced at times.”
