    VANCOUVER — Environment Canada is warning of potentially hazardous driving conditions in parts of B.C. as a spring snow falls over southern mountain passes.


    The national weather forecaster issued a special weather statement as the spring snow continued into Sunday.

    It says the weather in the mountains can change suddenly and create hazardous driving conditions.
