The first snowfall of the season has created a risk of branches breaking off trees.

The snow has fallen on trees that still have leaves on them, which has weighed down the branches and created a risk of them breaking.

The City of Kelowna asks people to be cautious when walking through parks ,or on sidewalks and roadways with overhanging trees.

People are also advised to be cautious when parking under trees when the snow is falling.
