Prince George, B.C. – If the recent weather led you to believe we were done using some of the tools of winter, well it was nothing other than a trick of Mother Nature.
What was forecast to be a few flurries turning to periods of rain this afternoon
A massive system that moved in overnight coupled with temperatures right around the freezing mark has produced up to 4 centimetres within the city itself and even more at the higher, cooler elevations. The snow is still predicted to turn into rain through the late afternoon and evening, with clouds in the forecast overnight and a low of minus 5.

Now there is a large enough accumulation of snow that some City workers will be on the job tonight. City Communications spokesman Mike Kellett says crews will be plowing the outlying areas and salting the downtown an other priority routes tonight.

… nothing “other” than a trick of Mother Nature?
Thanks. Correction made
If you MUST be out on these roads, then please be careful! Even with good tires, quick reflexes and all the confidence in the world there will always be 2 kms of ditch along ebery 1km of road…
We have curbs where I travel …. so not always …. just takes you tires off the rim if you hit it hard enough at the wrong angle…. :-)
Our weather forecasts have become pretty much unreliable over the past few years. They just can’t seem to ever get it right anymore.
My shovel snapped in half today the snow was so heavy. It was like moving concrete.
I think the weather forecasts for this region have gone bad over the last few years. It use to be the weather network was reliable, but the last few years it’s about as good as the farmers almanac. I use to be able to rely on their radar data at the top of the weather report, but no days it only shows radar data maybe once a month rather than every ten minutes as they use to. I think this is critical because then I can tell how big the storm is an what direction it is traveling and can make a good educated guess… But with no radar data and weather reports like the one this last weekend we are back to the Stone Age when making travel plans in northern BC.
