Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a snowfall warning for parts of Northern B.C. including Quesnel, Williams Lake and Prince George.

Snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 15 cm is expected to begin Tuesday (Dec. 17) night and continue into Wednesday morning.

"A moisture-laden Pacific frontal system will bring snow to parts of the northern BC interior, especially over higher terrain. The snow will begin overnight and will ease late Wednesday morning as the system departs," Environment Canada's warning says.

The warning says visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow and asks drivers to be prepared for changing road conditions.

The site shiftintowinter.ca reminds drivers to know before you go.

Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains. Road conditions are available at drivebc.ca.
