British Columbia Faces High Winds and Heavy Snowfall as New Storm Sweeps In

Environment Canada warns of gusts up to 110 km/h and significant snowfall, with power outages persisting from earlier storms.

Environment Canada has issued wind warnings for Vancouver Island and coastal areas, with gusts expected to reach up to 110 km/h in some regions on Friday.
Snowfall warnings are in effect for several areas, including the Coquihalla Highway and Elk Valley, where up to 40 cm of snow could accumulate by Sunday.
BC Hydro reports over 10,000 customers remain without power, primarily on Vancouver Island, with full restoration for remote areas expected by late Saturday.
This storm is less severe than the bomb cyclone earlier in the week, which caused widespread outages affecting 300,000 properties, but it may still slow recovery efforts.
Drivers are advised to prepare for hazardous road conditions, as snow and strong winds make highways and mountain passes difficult to navigate.
