That a little more then 2 ft . The Coquihalla has three high mountain passes 1200 up to 1700 meters above sea level. View the road at the link below.

Overnight there was about 2 inches of fresh snow dropped on the town of Merritt. Sources say that more like 6 inches were the experience in Diamondvale in the east end. A distance of  about a mile. It is possible to be on the perimeter of a snowfall. Some people were late for work as they had to shovel out driveways and be concerned over some neighbours that were less able to cope. It is all over now. And sun and warmth are coming and we can expect the snow to abate to runoff within days as the highs are all above freezing in the coming week. We enjoy the freshness while it lasts and hope that people would take a moment to enjoy the fleeting beauty of the symbol used for the medal ” “The order of Canada” remembering that fame is fleeting and fortune fickle, in some people’s observation .
