Old Man Winter stirs before sleep
Weather conditions are not optimal in some parts of the East Kootenay right now.
The Salmo-Creston Pass (Highway 3) has slushy and slippery sections and a squall recently rolled through part of the Columbia Valley.
DriveBC reports that it is snowing with slippery sections on Highway 93 in Kootenay National Park with slippery sections from Vermillion Crossing to the British Columbia/Alberta border.
Drive carefully out there folks.
All that said, the long range forecast as per Environment Canada indicates that today’s rowdy antics by Old Man Winter are simply a brief fuss before he heads into hibernation.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 15) to Monday (April 20) is nothing but sun, sun, sun, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 18 C for highs.
