It’s in the mountains, it’s in the forecast, and soon it will be on the roads — snow is coming to Revelstoke.
After a hot, dry, summer, Revelstoke has had a precipitous autumn after three straight days of rain last week. Now, Revelstoke can look forward to what it’s known best for, snow. Environment Canada has snow in Revelstoke’s forecast for Tuesday (Oct. 24), and DriveBC warned that Rogers Pass could see snow over the next two days.
Although snow could be on the way, Environment Canada’s forecast said that it won’t accumulate much. A few flurries beginning around midnight are only expected to contribute to roughly 2 cm in town.
Out on the highway will be a different story.
