Environment Canada is issuing snow warning for British Columbia's southern mountain passes.
The weather office issued special weather statements Tuesday for the Coquihalla Highway, Allison Pass,
Okanagan Connector and Kootenay Pass, warning that an upper trough of low pressure will deliver Arctic air to
the BC Interior this week.
Environment Canada says snowfall can be expected through Wednesday, particularly during the early hours. It
is encouraging travelers planning to take the affected highways to be prepared and monitor snowfall
conditions.
This part of the world has been enduring significant cold anomalies of late, stretching from NE Canada down
through the majority of the Western US:

The cold isn't expected to shift anytime soon, either.

The snow will also persist, even into June for some:
