Oct 7 - Winter is coming

Western Canada is seeing a mix of fall weather patterns, with cooler temperatures, heavy rain in parts of B.C., and early snow in the Rockies and Prairies. These conditions can impact transportation through mountain passes, create reduced visibility, and slow freight movement due to wet or icy roads. Carriers and shippers should plan for potential delays, especially on westbound routes into B.C. and across Alberta’s mountain corridors, while also monitoring for localized flooding and road closures.

Snow in the forecast for the West Coast and Rocky Mountains could slow both road and rail traffic, particularly through mountain passes where conditions change quickly. Customers should prepare for potential delays, build extra lead time into shipments, and stay in close contact for updates on route conditions and transit times.
