Up to 40 cm of snow expected on Highway 97 at Pine Pass

Snow warning north of PG

Winter is not far away, as up to 40 centimetres of snow is forecast for the Pine Pass area today through Saturday.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Highway 97 north of Prince George.

The warning affects Highway 97 through Williston and into Peace Country as a Pacific front makes its way through the region and could eventually evolve into an Arctic front.

As a result, there's expected to be a long period of snow mixed with rain and between 20 and 40 cm of accumulation by Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, a freezing rain warning is in effect for Prince George.
