It appears B.C. residents can’t escape winter this year.

Yet another snowfall warning is being issued by Environment Canada for the Coquihalla Highway.

Up to 15 centimetres of snow is expected for Friday.

This snowfall warning comes as part of a frontal system that is moving northward across the B.C. southern interior.

According to Environment Canada heavy snow to the Coquihalla, Okanagan Connector and Highway 3 - Hope to Princeton Friday morning.

Snow will begin early Friday morning then taper off to a few flurries or showers after the front passes later in the day.

Check DriveBC for heading out onto the road as rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations.
