Environment Canada lifts snowfall warning that had covered a large part of central B.C.
A winter storm has dumped heavy snow over parts of central and northern British Columbia, and freezing rain is in the forecast as temperatures start to rise.
The weather office says flurries are expected to shift to a mix of snow and rain later Monday, and there will be a risk of freezing rain during the transition. Meanwhile, intense snow squalls battering Ontario moved south after burying some parts of the province under more than a metre of snow, stranding vehicles and prompting one town to declare a state of emergency.
Premier Doug Ford said the provincial government was working closely with local authorities to help them respond to the storm. Ford said he was relieved no injuries or deaths have been reported.
