Snow in the mountain passes

Snow that was expected to fall on mountain passes last night will continue today, Environment Canada says.

Up to 20 centimetres of snow was expected on the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt and Highway 3 at the Allison Pass.

“Another significant system will approach the region Friday night with additional amounts of 15 to 20 cm possible for Saturday,” the weather forecaster says.

In Kelowna, the forecast is for cloudy, a little precipitation and a high of 6 C today. Saturday and Sunday will be cooler.
