More than 4,500 people in B.C. are on evacuation order with another 23,500 on evacuation alert. Yet, they can not access Canadian news on Facebook or Instagram. For those in Kelowna, go directly to https://t.co/IuwXkXv7s1 for updates.

Heads up #yyjtraffic, the light at Tyee and Esquimalt isn't working properly (only changing for pedestrians). Waited for 2+ plus songs on the radio before a pedestrian came by to hit the button. Traffic was backing up Tyee.

Traffic is crawling over the Malahat. This is the view of the Trans-Canada Highway from the Millstream overpass in Langford.

Some really important journalism being done today... But all joking aside, the fries are still my favourite menu item.

Anyone else feeling a bit of whiplash between the sun, snow and ice this week?

Our schools are open today. Please drive with caution. Road services are already out working on main thoroughfares.

Please dress for the weather.

[Katherine Engqvist @kengqvist]

And I hope you got gas yesterday because it’s up to 184.9 this morning

[Katherine Engqvist @kengqvist]

Lots of ice out there this morning. Island Highway at Helmcken is especially bad. Drive safe #yyjtraffic

[Goldstream News Gazette @GoldstreamNews]

It looks more like winter than spring out there. Did you get hail in your area too?

[Katherine Engqvist @kengqvist]

The @VicGrizzlies jumped to an early lead adding some insurance to make it 2-0 after the first period against the Penticton Vees.

Penticton added 1 to the board with a two-man advantage and then tied the game during the second. It’s 2-2 heading into the 3rd period.
