Environment Canada issued a number of advisories on Friday morning, warning some Canadians of dense fog that could reduce visibility to zero. Here's where.
Environment Canada is warning of "near-zero visibility" across swaths of the West Coast and the Prairies on Friday.
The weather agency issued fog advisories for portions of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
In B.C., fog was expected to be "dense" in the Lakes District, Arrow Lakes and Slocan Lake. Along the Okanagan Connector, the fog would be "persistent" due to a ridge of high pressure, Environment Canada warned.
In the Muncho Lake, Liard River and Toad River area, Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for a "brief but heavy burst of snow" that it expected to happen Friday afternoon.
Snow was also predicted to impact residents of Faro and Ross River, Yukon with a 10- to 15-centimetre dumping in the forecast from Friday morning until this afternoon.
"A frontal system over southeastern Yukon will intensify this morning before moving out of the area," the snowfall warning for the territory read.
One portion of Yukon near Beaver Creek is experiencing extreme cold, the agency said. Wind chill values could be as low as -55.
