Snowfall Warning Ended, Now Cold To Set In

Saturday, February 25, 2012 @ 3:18 AM

Prince George, BC – Environment Canada has ended the snowfall warning for the Prince George region with just a 60-percent chance of further flurries this morning, but to add insult to injury, it’s now going to get cold.

The current temperature is hovering around minus 5, and that’s expected to fall to minus 9 by this afternoon with wind gusting between 40km to 60km/hr.

Overnight lows will drop to minus 14.  Sunday’s daytime high will be minus 7 before the thermometer drops back to a chilly minus 18 overnight Monday.  The daytime highs will continue to rise, though, to plus 1 and 2 on Wednesday and Thursday.

This time last year it was around -27

There is usually one blast of cold period at the beginning of march so hopefully this is the one come early.

at least the snow filled in the potholes

Speaking of potholes, I’ve never heard PG mentioned so many times in five minutes on Global News last night.

Questionable having shortcomings about PG as an identifier. Any exposure good exposure?

Why was it mentioned on the news?

They did a story on potholes and because our wonderful Ospika Blvd won last years worst road in the BCAA worst road contest I guess they thought it was worth mentioning. They said Ospika has since been repaired LMAO! If they only knew the truth. The only part they fixed was last years contest winning stretch. BCAA’s contest is soon to be announced for this year. Keep your eyes open!

During the mid seventies I drove back and forth on the first 300 “miles” of the Alaska Highway. It wasn’t paved. Actually back then it was from Dawson Creek “Mile 101”. Anyhoo, there were no posted speed limits. You were supposed to drive accordingly. But the comany I worked for on that part of the highway kept it so very well graded that you could do around 50 or 60 “MPH” on it. Maybe we should gravel all the main roads here in PG and just constantly grade them. Could work.
