Up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall on the highway between Hope and Merritt before easing Sunday afternoon
The weather agency warns that strong winds will blow the snow, at times reducing visibility suddenly to zero.
A frostbite warning is also in effect for the central and northern coasts and stretching inland to include communities like Kitimat, Stewart and Terrace. Powerful coastal winds gusting near 80 km/h will combine with low temperatures to push wind chills down near -20 C.“If outside, dress warmly in layers and stay dry. Cover as much exposed skin as possible to avoid frostbite,” it says.
