It was 26 on my sun deck last weekend. not and clear. the last 2 years have been abnormally warm with little precipitation. we didn't get snow where I live until the week before Xmas and then we got a couple of small snowfalls after that. by the second week of Jan there wasn't snow in my yard for the rest f the winter. they say we are supposed to have another dry warm winter, however that is the same weatherman that can never get the forecast right around where I live anyways.
as for campground. I don't know of any campgrounds that are open in the West Kootenays of BC, but there could be. I know there are exceptions, but I haven't seen them.
also they RCMP will in the cases I have seen at the foot of Kootenay Pass which is the highest mountain pass open year round in Canada just turn people around that don't have the correct tires. I have yet to talk with anyone that has gotten a fine, but they could be out there I just never talked with them. I have seen the RCMP at the bottom of that Hwy 3 times over the years so it does happen, but those three times were when it was snowing.

PS: I put my winter tires on this last weekend and it was sunny and 12c.
