Wintry weather conditions will persist in parts of the B.C. Southern Interior this week, and a snowfall warning has been issued for one mountain pass.
Highway 3, from Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass, is expected to receive heavy snow Wednesday through Thursday.
“A slow-moving trough of low pressure has caused significant snow to accumulate near Kootenay Pass,” Environment Canada said in a statement.
“Near 15 cm has fallen and an additional five cm is likely before the trough finally pushes off to the south by Thursday morning.”
