Snowfall Warning Continues

Monday, February 07, 2011 12:39 AM

Prince George, B.C. - The snow, at times heavy, is expected to continue falling through the night across the Central Interior, as well as into the Southern Interior and east along the Columbia Mountains.

The snowfall warning issued by Environment Canada on Saturday continues. A frontal system has been making its way across the central portion of the province and is generating significant snowfall.

Environment Canada reports snowfall amounts of between 10- to 20-centimetres in the wake of the system moving through, "with localized reports exceeding 40-centimetres near Kitimat."

Another 10- to 20-centimetres if expected to fall in Prince George overnight, on top of the similar amount we received through the day on Sunday.

The winter storm did not cause any flight cancellatons at the Prince George Airport and only one flight was delayed. The Greyhound bus travelling north along highway 97 was about 30-minutes behind schedule because of weather and road conditions.

I wonder which member of city staff or council lives in the subdivision across from the Hart Wheel Inn. I saw trucks and graders in there this morning and it isn't even near the garbage zone today. I would'nt exactly say that is a major route except to the people who live in there. Go figure.

Across from the Hart Wheel Inn is Cook Crescent. It and Croft Road, Glenngarry, Highland Drive are a bus route. Perhaps that would be the explanation. There are also NO sidewalks and children have to walk to school and to the school bus stops using the rather narrow streets.

Even when there is no snow at all - in the summer - the streets are barely wide enough for the traffic and there are several sharp curves in them.

Better to be safe than to be sorry!
