Extreme snowfall warning issued for the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District

Winter weather continues to blanket the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District. 

Environment Canada has issued an extreme snowfall warning for the region for tonight (Monday). 

“For Smithers and Burns Lake, that area should be seeing a 10-centimetre hit today with the potential of seeing two to four through the evening hours before tapering off,” said Armel Castellan, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist.
