Be careful out there.

Drive BC is reporting moderate to poor driving conditions on highways throughout the region.

Similar conditions are reported for all highways in the area.

Meanwhile, morning flights were cancelled out of Smithers Regional Airport.

As always during snowstorms, Drive BC recommends restricting travel if possible and slowing down. The speed limit is not necessarily what is posted, but what is safe to travel under the conditions.
