A weather system lingering over southern B.C. and Alberta has spread heavy rain and wet snow to higher elevations in the region.
Environment Canada said the Okanagan Connector already had five to 10 centimetres of wet snow accumulate Tuesday morning, and up to 10 cm more is expected to accumulate before noon when it’s forecast to taper off or change to light rain.
Highway 3 is also getting hit hard by snow.

For that area, a commercial chain-up advisory was in effect.
