The arrival of March doesn’t mean the exit of winter weather.
It didn’t take much overnight snowfall to create considerable trouble for motorists in the north Okanagan Tuesday morning.
Vernon RCMP issued a warning about icy roads causing some drivers to hit the ditch.
Shortly afterwards, the southbound lanes of Highway 97 were temporarily closed between College Way and Bailey Road.
Police described the road conditions there as “extremely slippery and dangerous”.
On Birnie Road, which leads to the Vernon landfill, an ambulance and garbage truck skidded off the road.
