Check out www.thegreat plains.ca Winter chaos on the roads Yesterday morning, Drive BC had is- sued a severe weather warning for the Coq between Merritt & Hope, advising travellers to expect heavy snowfall mixed with rain or freezing rain, with accumu- lations as much as 70cm. Through the rest of the day, the road was closed 3 times, due to accidents. Truck drivers lined Gasoline Alley, await- ing the time the highway would re-open. However, Drive BC estimated 6am this morning. There was also an incident at Inks Lake just before 7pm, then at the Logan Lake exchange just an hour later. The clo- sures affected the southbound lanes. Meanwhile Hwy 1 was closed through the Canyon & 97C near Prince- ton because of the risk of avalanche, and avalanche control. Meanwhile, the Lower Mainland & Fraser Valley were hit hard again, with heavy snow then rain & freezing rain. A significant warming trend should be in full swing by today. Environment Canada’s forecast is for highs of 4°C on Sat., 7°C on Monday & 10°C on Wednesday. New census data Yesterday, Statistics Canada released population stats for 2016... on their every- 5-year schedule. Merritt’s population has grown by a whopping 26 people (7,139 in 2016, com- pared to 7,113 in 2011). That’s a growth rate of 0.4%. However, that was before the Tolko shutdown… The 2006 census shows Merritt’s pop- ulation at 6,998, and 7,088 in 2001. Merritt comprises an area of 26.07 sq km, so our population density works out to 273.9 people per sq. km. — that’s a comfortable density similar to Green- wood, Alert Bay, Harrison Hot Springs & Quesnel, ever so slightly higher a density than Sechelt & Sooke.
