Spring may be in full swing in the Southern Interior, but Old Man Winter still has his grips on the highway mountain passes.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the Okanagan Connector from Merritt to 琉璃神社, Highway 3 from Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass as well as additional reports of inclement weather on the Coquihalla from Kamloops to Hope.

Meteorologists predict up to 10 centimetres of fresh snow for the highway passes.

鈥淪nowfall will continue today over some interior highway passes as a cold low over the coast moves into Washington State,鈥� writes Environment Canada.

鈥淪nowfall accumulation remain uncertain as warmer road surfaces will allow some of the snow to melt and snow levels will rise to near 1500 metres this afternoon. However, additional snowfall amounts of 5-10 cm are possible near Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector and near the summits of Highway 3 - Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass.鈥�

Close to 10cms on the Connector . Be sure to check @DriveBCroad conditions before heading out
