Flurries causing slippery conditions on highways across B.C.
Snow is falling on the Coquihalla and Sea to Sky highways Saturday
Flurries falling in parts of British Columbia are causing slushy, slippery conditions on highways across the province.
Travellers headed to or from the Central Interior appeared to be getting the worst of the action on Saturday, with flurries piling up on the Coquihalla Highway.
As of Oct. 1, snow tires or M+S tires are required to drive anywhere in B.C. where signs indicate they're needed until March 31.
That includes the Coquihalla and the Sea to Sky highways heading to Whistler, where snow was also falling Saturday afternoon.
