Snow in June?! Yes, indeed. This morning near the Anarchist summit, on Highway 3 east of Osoyoos, snow made for slick conditions June 7.
DriveBC.ca posted a picture of the slushy road conditions at 7:45 a.m. BC Transportation stated it’s a good reminder to be prepared for anything when travelling, particularly through higher elevations. Always check DriveBC before you go.
