Temperature Records Broken Around Central Interior

Saturday, September 12, 2009 07:10 PM

Prince George- records fell like Pin Balls in the Central Interior of BC today as warm air became locked over the region. Prince George set a new high of 28-c, beating the old record. Mackenzie hit 26 degrees passing the old record of 24.6; McBride hit 30, surpassing their old record. In McBride they are expected to keep the record as forecasters are calling for temperatures of 28, Sunday, 27 Monday, 26 on Tuesday and 26 on Wednesday.

Quesnel hit 30 degrees also passing the old record; Williams Lake with a temperature of 28 beat the old record set in 1987 of 26.7.

Meantime in the north at Ft St John and Dawson Creek they failed to break the old record. Ft St John hit 23, it needed at temperature of 27.8 to beat the old record set in 1944, while Dawson Creek needed to hit 26.1 set in 1975, and it only reached 25 there today.

To the west in Terrace and Kitimat, they both had days of 18 degrees, a full 8 degrees short of the record.

Just to make you appreciate today’s weather, in 1949 the temperature in Prince George dropped to -7.2 on this date.

Maybe it was pine balls. Didn't seem that hot -- I must be getting used to it.

must be due to the global warming caused by all those aircraft using our new airport runway and circling the city waiting to land.....

maybe the writer meant to say, "past" records fell like pin balls today. It was a very warm day +28c!!
Doesn't matter, it has been a great summer and we are seeing positive signs of a great autumn!

What is happening, are all the negative folks from the Citizen site, coming over here! I notice there is very little feed back on that site anymore, probably because it got so out of hand!! Please, don't ruin this site!!

Can�t help but laugh at these posts, must be locked in your room with nothing more to do then sit at the board and bitch. Life must be awful.

I few months ago 250 cut a whole lot of people off, they must have gone over to the Citizen, now they are back. Why don�t you name them 250 then see how fast they fade away

Wow, you guys need to lighten up.

It was a joke, because if your pinballs are falling quickly, it means you're bad at playing! Or did you guys not have childhoods?

It was a typo , we know that....but sometimes it is really hard to leave well enough alone....and a lot of time my comments are more toward those commenting...If I insulted someone i humbly appologize...no harm intended

The Citizen is really bad at not posting letters they don't agree with. They also say 'only one letter per month' , which pretty well leaves the opinion page empty most of the time. They also do not allow alias's. It doesn't matter who says it - - it's an opinion. I guess they just want to know who you are in order to use their paper for your rant. I'm also fed up to the top about this crap where the paper or the site is responsible for someones allegations. If I make an allegation, I would like it printed and I accept all resposibility for it. It's my opinion and I have every right by law to voice it without someone else taking flak for it.

Ah 'supertech' or whatever your name is... you really don't get it.

This site allows anonymous posters like you and me and that's great. But with that comes a level of responsibility.

This site has every right to delete comments they find inappropriate, and The Citizen has every right to not publish a letter for whatever reason they see fit. You cannot make random allegations and slander people on a whim, that's just the way society works.

It's just like me coming into your living room and making allegations about your family. What would you do? You'd kick me out of your house and rightfully so. This site works on the same priciple.

If you really want to do that sort of thing, start your own blog and see how far that gets you.

supertech;
We have been down this road many times. If you think you have a comment that must be printed, please contact your lawyer absolving Opinion250 of all responsibility for carrying the comment.
We have, in this country, legal responsibility for puiblishing libel or slander.
For those of you who remember, a judge awarded damages against Ben Meisner for repeating a story carried in the Vancouver Province.It wasn't written by Meisner he only repeated the story carried by them.

Make no Mistake, if you write a libel and we carry it on 250, we (along with you) become libel, end of story.

If you don't like those rules,then kindly refrain from writing on this site. Start your own site and make sure you have deep pockets.

I'm confused as to why he felt this article was a good place for his rant?
