Snowfall alerts are in place for many parts of Northern and Central B.C., with up to 20 centimetres expected to fall around the regions of West Kootenay, Kootenay Lake, Kinbasket, West Columbia, North Columbia and the Trans-Canada Highway, from Eagle Pass to Rogers Pass.
Further north, up to 15 centimetres is expected to fall in the Stuart - Nechako region, the Cariboo region, including both Quesnel and Williams Lake, the southern sections of Lakes District, and in Prince George.
The North Coast’s inland sections, including Kitimat, could see up to 25 centimetres of snowfall.
The drifts are expected to ease early Wednesday afternoon, according to the weather agency.
Drivers are advised to prepare for near-zero visibility ahead of the morning commute, and to adjust driving to adhere to the changing conditions. Slow down, watch for tail lights, and be prepared to stop, says Environment Canada.
The moisture-laden Pacific frontal system has also brought heavy rainfall to southwestern parts of British Columbia, with showers expected to continue into Wednesday morning for many regions that were pummelled overnight.
