Severe blizzard forecast for British Columbia's alpine regions as storm approaches
A powerful storm, known as a weather bomb, is set to bring heavy snowfall to British Columbia's alpine regions. The storm is expected to deliver over a meter of snow in some areas, with strong winds creating hazardous conditions. The storm will produce light, powdery snow, leading to low visibility and potential whiteout conditions. Snowfall rates could reach 10–15 cm per hour, meeting blizzard criteria for sustained periods. Roads in mountainous areas may become impassable until conditions improve. This storm could be one of the most significant snowfall events of the season, with many regions receiving more snow in 48 hours than they typically do in an entire winter.
