Another 10 to 15 cm of snow expected to fall on the Coquihalla Highway overnight

Environment Canada is once again warning residents about excessive snowfall on the Coquihalla Highway.

According to EC, an additional 10 to 15 cm of snow is expected to hit Hwy 5 between Merritt and Hope. Hwy 3 from Hope to Princeton via the Allison Pass will also see significant snowfall.

"A weather disturbance moving across southern British Columbia will continue to bring snow to parts of the region," wrote Environment Canada.

"Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays."

Snow is expected to taper off by Monday morning.
