Prince George, B.C.- The wind is going to get worse before it gets better.
 The latest update from Environment Canada indicates that in Prince George, a Blizzard Warning remains in effect.  The wind is gusting to 58 kph but will be at 60kph gusting to 80 kph this evening.
The satellite shot (above) shows a nasty cold front, and the radar shot (below) also indicates lots of precipitation.

Got to go out and get me one of them big black kites. Oh yes. And maybe snowshoes too.
Maybe send the wife out to get me some gas fer my snow blower. It's her driveway too, ya know.
Get a life, Harbinger! You and a few of the others whose names are always appearing! The rest of us get quite tired of you. This is a good site, and requires comments that actually mean something.
Using a snowblower today might be a wee bit silly. As for frequent users, it is a free to use and we are free not to read. Just would rather comment not be mean, is all!
If I had a life, would I waste my time on here commenting? Unhappy New Year to you,too.
yep a wee bit too windy for the snowblower
As long as the wind is blowing the right way, just position the blower chute so that it sends it to that nasty neighbour two houses down. LOL
Hey harbinger can you get your wife to get me some gas too? I’m busy eating cheeses and drinking beer watching the boob tube. And hey I don’t have a life or a job…just a snow blower with no gas………..
whitewater...just get one of them sissy electric snow blowers that ya plug in. If ya say please to the missus she might plug it in for ya. Cool, eh?
kindly govern yourself in your comments, or we will for you , if you just want to see your name in writing please use a crayon and some paper and spare us the time to police it.

looking outside sure does remind me of the praires and some of the smaller blizzards we had there. Thinking that those people that have to go to work in the morning might leave a little earlier. Could take some time to get to work going around all those people who don't reckonize a blizzard when they get stuck in one.
Thank god for Meisner. But give him more power; means: to govern the garbage that makes this site really not what it was meant to be. Ie, a meaningful, thinking observation of citizens interested in our northern world.
I like "meaningful, THINKING observations of citizens interested in our northern world."

One thing I try to remember is that people from all over Canada, North America and even the world come to this site as Mr. Meisner has said.

When, in my opinion, we embellish common words such as blizzard and the notion we are the only part of the "northern world" I think it is fair and reasonable to be allowed to provide an opinion based on MY experience of having been in many blizzards in urban Canadian situations, just as others are given that opportunity.

We must remember, PG is not in a snow belt, nor are snow, coupled with wind, and low temperatures typically a problem here as they can be in several other locations in Canada and the world. In fact, if we were prone to wind driven snow, we would be likely to see snow fences as there are in several other parts of Canada and the USA prone to such storms.

Take a look at the linked site below and count yourself lucky. We hit the national news for other weather related conditions such as the ice dam last year. In fact, I suspect that when one reviews old pictures and newspapers from PG, the most extreme weather related conditions that DO happen around here and have happened are related to river flooding in both summer and winter.

Ben - good to see your name up here every once in a while. I, for one, would like to see you police your site even more so (so that you can spend less time policing in the future).

I am sure many would agree that some of the stuff that people are typing is way over the line and moderately to severely boorish.

You have an awesome that provides out-standing information - easily accessible - and greatly appreciated.

Regular reminders of the rules of etiquette might alleviate some of the dribble. Having said that though, some of the dribble is truly entertaining!
My personal slogan:

One man's dribble is another man's drivel.
