Environment Canada image shows storm system that is moving eastward across BC

Prince George, B.C. – The New Year is off to one very snowy start in the Central Interior of BC.

The heavy snowfall  caused several delays at the Prince George Airport, with  some flights diverted this morning.  The schedule seems to be close to normal for the balance of the day, but do check with  your airline   for  the latest arrival and departure information (or click here)

If you are heading to the Airport,  make sure you give  yourself lots of time to make sure you  arrive safely as the roads are anything but pleasant.

Environment Canada was predicting 2-4 centimeters  for the Prince George area  today, and possibly another 2 centimetres of snow tonight

A snowfall warning remains in effect for the McGregor and Yellowhead.  The two regions east of Prince George are expected to receive 10-25 centimetres of snow before tomorrow morning.

There is a problem on Highway 16 east at Slim Creek, where a tree  has fallen across the highway.  That stretch of Highway 16 is  reduced to single lane alternating  traffic.
