Snow fell down on these B.C. highways

Snow on BC hwys in June
Snow flew along the Kootenay Pass in June 2019 (via Drive B.C.)

Drivers at higher elevations should be cautious this weekend.

Snow fell on some mountain passes Friday night (June 7). 

While some light snow fell at Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector, Kootenay Pass, west of Creston, continues to see snowfall since yesterday morning (June 8).

While an Environment Canada weather statement warning of snowfall at higher elevations earlier in the week resulted in little snow, five centimetres of snow fell on Kootenay Pass overnight. 

Mandatory winter tire rules on B.C. mountain highways ended over a month ago.
