Environment Canada put the North Coast and Haida Gwaii up one notch on their Alert system on Saturday, upgrading the Weather Watch to a Weather Warning, with snowfall accumulations for both coastal areas of the region and Haida Gwaii to measure at 10-20 centimetres by the time the system has passed through.
As well as the Snow warnings, the Weather Office also outlined that freezing rain may accompany the system as very strong outflow winds make for colder temperatures.
