An approaching Pacific frontal system will track inland thursday and stall across the southern interior tonight. Heavy snow will begin this evening before changing to rain at lower elevations beginning Friday morning.

Snow accumulation forecasts for higher elevations and the Foothills have been up to 60 cm by Sunday.

Snowfall has once again arrived in the Elk Valley and this is a reminder to please slow down. With the coming snow accumulation people are encouraged to drive to the road conditions.

Please have a safe drive home following this especially wonderful holiday season.
