Snowfall warning on Hwy 3

It may still be a little early to take off the winter tires.

A snowfall warning is in effect for Highway 3, between Paulson Summit and Kootenay Pass, where up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall.

The snow is expected to fall through Saturday, tapering off by late this afternoon.

Additionally, Kootenay Pass will be closed Saturday afternoon, from 4 to 7 p.m. for avalanche control. The closure will effect a 27-kilometre stretch of Highway 3, 30 km west of Creston.
