While heavy rainfall caused localized flooding in Vancouver, snowfall blanked other parts of the province.
On Sunday, the Coquihalla Highway was closed in both directions after it received a great deal of snowfall.
What's more, some B.C. highways are expected to receive another dumping of snowfall overnight on Tuesday, October 30.
Now, The BC Traveller's Routes forecast calls for 5 to 10 cm of snow on the Coquihalla - Merritt to Kamloops. Similarly, the Okanagan Connector - Merritt to Kelowna, is expected to receive 10 cm.
Highway 3 - Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass and Highway 3 - Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass are also expected to receive 10 cm.

It is the responsibility of the operator of a vehicle in B.C. to understand the conditions on roads they regularly drive and equip their vehicle for those conditions. As such, anyone driving on one of these highways should ensure that they have legal winter tires. Mountain snowflake tires offer better traction on snow and ice.
