Prince George, BC- When you woke up this morning in Prince George you must be asking "when is this weather  going to end?"

Doug Lundquist of Environment Canada  says depending on where you live in the city, Prince George received about 5 centimeters of snow last night. To the south, Quesnel got 10 centimetres, while Williams Lake received 7 centimeters of snow. Lundquist says the weather this month has been more like February . The normal temperature for this time of year is a high of +7.

But don't despair. The best account of the weather today across Canada we got from Gord MacDonald in Port Hawkesbury , Nova Scotia , who said  "Right now you can't see further than a 100 meters, and the wind is blowing at about 50 kilometers a hour". The wind is expected to pick up to 100 kilometers by this evening according to MacDonald. "The good news" he says " is that the snow is expected to change to rain in the next few days". He calls the winter of 2014, the worst he has seen in the past 10 years.

Further to the west in Toronto , Lynne Richards, says "this is the worst winter we have had in Toronto in 30 years, maybe even longer.  It has been absolutely the 'shits'. Our whole back yard is a sheet of ice . Words fail to describe what we have been through this year although they say it will get above zero in the next few days."

In Manitoba , Del Archer, who lives in the Dauphin area says "old timers are saying this is the worst winter we have ever had". Archer says "literally until today we have had fewer than five days that you could go out and have a walk this winter. The wind has been brutal and it has been relentless every day". Archer ended by saying " this is the first time in my life that I have been exposed to temperatures of -50 below for 2 or 3 days." You want cold" says Archer " the frost is eight feet deep, up to ten feet in some parts of Winnipeg".

Over the border in Saskatchewan Craig Wallebeck from CJGX radio in Yorkton, says " I have lived here and Regina for the past 20 years and this is the second worst winter we have ever had in Saskatchewan. Last year was about the same as this year but we had a lot more snow."  Is It ending?  "Well  the temperature right now is -11 and its noon."

Frank Geduhn , who operates a farm near Veteran , Alberta says "You want cold?  Three weeks ago my thermometer, which is in Fahrenheit, showed minus 50 one day and the next day minus 51. A few days later they were saying we had minus 63 with the wind chill. And yes we got some wet snow overnight".

Our neighbours to the east in Hinton also got a dump of snow last night and the bad news is that it is still snowing . One old timer we talked to said this is the worst winter he can remember in Hinton, Alberta "It seems that one day is so, so,  and the next its back to cold".

Doug Lundquist says the weather has been much better in the Okanagan part of BC were they are enjoying warmer temperatures.

So if you are  unhappy with the weather in Prince George and area,  there may be some comfort in knowing  things  are no better  right across  the country.

On the bright side, it is expected to begin to warm up on the weekend
