The snow began early Tuesday and is forecast to continue through Wednesday morning as a frontal system moves through the B.C. Interior. Conditions are expected to improve as the system passes later Wednesday.
Environment Canada said the snow may reduce visibility at times and make travel difficult. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly, leading to hazardous driving conditions.
