Environment Canada has issued another winter storm warning for Wednesday, stating another 15 to 25 centimetres of snow could fall by end of day.

The snow hasn’t accumulated overnight in Williams Lake as forecasted, with the heaviest snowfall easing by about 9 p.m., but it is expected to start again by mid-morning.

DriveBC is cautioning motorists of poor driving conditions on roads in the Interior, reporting compact snow with slippery sections and limited visibility due to blowing snow on much of Highway 97, with the McLeese Lake area at risk of freezing rain.

The poor weather even prompted the RCMP to issue a statement Tuesday, asking motorists to stay off the roads when possible and to drive according to road conditions.
