Opinion250 Editor, Ben Meisner is  over 6 feet tall, but the snow is quickly piling up to his height at his home
Prince George, B.C.- Environment Canada now says there is a snowfall warning in effect with 5- 10 centimetres expected today before this  nasty system that hit the region over the weekend moves on.
Saturday, Prince George received 11.8 centimetres (4.65 inches) of snow. That was well below the record for that day which was 14.5 centimetres (5.7 inches) which fell   February 26th, 1950.
As for Sunday, the Prince George Climate Centre only takes one sample per day, and as of this writing had not submitted its report to Environment Canada. The record snowfall for February 27th was 14.5 centimetres  (5.7 inches) which was dumped on the City on February 27th of 2006.
And while it may look like there is a ton of snow on the ground, Environment Canada says it still doesn’t match the  amount of snow that was on the ground by February 27th 1956. On that day, the City was under an accumulated 102 centimetres  (40.16 inches) of snow. The current accumulation is 70 centimetres (27.56 inches).
Once the snowfall stops today, we will be heading back into the deep freeze with a high tomorrow of  -16 and the windchill will make it feel more like -35.

We live on the Hart...Which is IN THE CITY LIMITS..It snowed over a foot(12in) last night, which is 48cm, On my garage I have over 4.5 feet or 216cm,so where does the City measurements come from? Remember the Hart is part of Prince George. My 4 foot(192cm) fence is under snow.
Donald Mackenzie, I think your conversion table is out of wack!!
YOUR RIGHT.I quess old men should stick to Imperial measurements. Still it is a pile of snow up here on the Hart.
im on the hart too,nothing on my deck friday but today its over my knees so what gives with this measurement crap
True... where are the measurements made? I'm in the Crescents area and I had snow up to my knees this afternoon and I shoveled yesterday.
Wow by Donalds calculations Mr Meisner would be over 288 cm tall, thats one tall dude. but regardless, thats a lot of snow.
Hey Ben, yer glow'in! If that's what Tim's coffee does to you I'm stay'in away from it.
Had to laugh, had a Ford with a plow on it go boot'in by me today on foothills, where it turns in to 18th he bit the dust. Wish people would just slow down, turn their lights on and quit flying by people doing 60K, leaves a white out behind you for the guy you just passed.
Love that snow and shoveling is good exercise.
Know why you guys up there in PG get so much snow?
Its payback for voting in all those Liberal MLAs.
Down here in the Similkameen winter ended today.
"Opinion250 Editor, Ben Meisner is over 6 feet tall, but the snow is quickly piling up to his height at his home"

Thats what happens to snow when you shovel it into piles.
And another entertaining time for people trying to come and go from the Prince George airport parking lot!
Oh Mr furtree its on its way to you:)
ben,shovel my driveway pleas!
That's alot of snow well sure but whats causing this crazy weather we're having not just here in P.G but all over the world. As we all know that the magnetic pole is moving and recent years by alot It's been covered by major news stations. Now you look at all the earth changes as well, let's look at the past few years the snowstorms here and on the east coast and the unusual deep freeze in europe the flooding in australia or the island in indoneisia sinking into the ocean, volcanic activities aswell including iceland and recently in january 2011japan and indoneisia volcanoes blew there lids. Let's look at yellowstone we all know the park is ontop a supervolcano and since 2004 miles of ground rised 2 inches a year and 2010 miles of ground rised dramaticaly in areas by 11 inches wow 11 inches now thats something to be concerned about, it erupts every 600,000 yrs and the last eruption was 640,000 yrs ago so scientists say it's dew. Now let's look at the earthquakes chile, iran, japan, and recently new zealand that was hit twice 5.0 and greater 5 months apart and look at the fish, birds, dolphins jellyfish crabs cows die offs by the thousands. Some say its H.A.A.R.P weather modification project by the USA government which doubt, H.A.A.P is just a deversion for us to look down when we should be looking up. What I mean about that well just research it like I did, back in 1983 Nasa launch a satillite called Iras (infrored astonomical space telescope)well they anounced a discovery of a planet and was posted in an article in the Washington Post but 2 days later they dropped it and said there was nothing to be concerned about. Ever since then they been shooting up infrored satillites left and right all of them pointing toward the Orion belt. Over the years we heard of Nibiru, Planet X, wormwood, the destroyer, dark star and recently on febuary 15th Nasa made a descovery of Tyche, this anouncement intailed a discovery of a planet a gas giant 4 times the size of jupiter in our solar system while they say its new but it was known for years. The scary thing about it that it has an orbit that brings it into our solar system every 3600 years and we're aproaching the timeline that it's scooting into our solar system its here already and we're feeling the effects world wide sizemic activities nobody can explain, pole shifting, major sun activities, unexplained animal die offs and many more now the size of this thing 4 times the size of jupiter and has a massive gravitational force and its been tugging at our planets including earth causing the earths axis to wobble thats creating our unexplained weather patterns.Not only we face the flyby of this planet but we also face the possibility of comets and astroids hitting earth from it's tail as in oct when its passes between earth and the sun the orbit of earth will go through its tail as this thing heads away from the solar system. Every religion has talked about it floods, storms etc this is what each and everyone of you needs to look into and research. The US government is planning a national level exersize senario of a new madrid earthquake in the south USA and last time they had an exersize like this was 9/11 they know something si gonna happen they spent half a billion on 14 million pre-prepared meals, blankets and underwater body bags heck fema was in new zealand days before the eathquake last week now that proves they new about it before it happened. They know something big is going to happen this year on the new madrid fault but there not saying anything to avoid chaos and panic but as an exersize aswell as the middle east as a distraction for us to keep us looking down when we should be looking up in the sky well too late chaos panic are already here. This is gone viral and the more people know about this the more we all can prepare. You can youtube nibiru, planet x ro even google it and do your research on this, you wonder why in the past few years the government and others building underground bunkers all over the world, seed vaults in Norwegian island in the arctic. Something big is brewing, a couple years ago Nasa put out a video claiming theres nothing out there we're safe etc blah blah when they say that thats when you prepare. Look at all these movies that came out the core, deep impact, armageddon, 2012, day after tomorrow and many others I ask you is it fact or is it fiction. Do your reseach and prepare
Thanks for my daily dose of crazy there pal.
This giant planet is believed to be between mars an jupiters orbit and the closer it gets its massive gravitaion will cause a pole shift of the earth like as an example when you put a small magnet closer to a larger magnet what happens. It's gone viral on youtube and google of a pole shift on march 15th 2011 and the two weeks prior more and more earthquakes and volcanic activities storms world wide thought I'd stick that in too, I'm not trying to scare you i'm just passing information and for you all who read this is do your research on this and decide for yourself to believe it or not, I know I'm prepared but are you.
I belive the official meteorological reading are taken at the airport. I would question the accuracy though with the site surrounded by pavement and building.

As for the long post had to check if it was April fools day yet.
canuckfan1974 - I don't know what you are smoking, or putting in you blood count, but rest assured, I didn't read your ramble, and I am sure everyone else didn't either.

I hope you used spell check........lol Go rant someplace else. You are ridiculous!
I think the local weather men are confused by the metric system. I know I shoveled over a foot, I'm sorry, 30 centimeters of snow today, and almost as much yesterday.
seamutt When it's not covered on the mainstream media nobody knows and thats what the governments want out of us dumb founded people and to believe everything they say thats why people like you that don't want to believe it or learn about it think its a april fools joke.

an explaination of the only unexplained black empty space in google earth sky. Something they don't want you to see.
And remember, everyone, that the first day of spring is only 22 days away - I can hardly wait to put on my shorts and sit on the patio furniture while bar-be-quing.
(put in as many HaHaHa's as you choose)
What ever is this thing you are all referring to as snow?

I live in the Okanagan and it's nothing but +25 degrees outside right now!

Ha ha ha... of course I'm only KIDDING. (But you knew that)

Sheesh... we have snow here but WOW... do I feel for you PG folks. I spent 50 years there and am well familar with the winters.

I wish you all the best there. Drive safely and please take into consideration the road conditions.

I just hope it stops soon. It was deeper than my snow blower today and I cleaned it last night before going to bed... now already its a good three inches deep. I agree the measurements are way out for what we are getting up here in the Hart. I bet this is the most snow we've had in a winter in over a decade. Last year I only used my snow blower three times... this year I've lost count after about a dozen times where it was needed.
I opened the door, grabbed my snow shovel, cleared a couple of shovelfuls away from the door, and the shovel snapped. Tools sure pick great times to go eh?
I know I'm prepared but are you.

Yup, I am. I chained my house to the one next door. We'll float much more safely down the magma river that way.

The snow today was very dry and fluffy. Looks like a lot, but really is not that much at all. Real easy to shovel ... but then the wind came and it is now blowing it all over the place and packing it much tighter ......
-20C and still snowing and now blowing from the north...so that works out to -32C .... I guess summer is over.
Here in Mackenzie , it is blowing and feels like we are in a deep freez. I thought we could all use one of these.

Talking to a relative from the lower mainland last night, and he told me "wind chill doesn't count as cold." Imagine living in that world.
I also live up in the Hart & shovelled twice, each time over a foot so I don't know where they get their measurements from. The 5 foot fence in my backyard is also buried.
So Nibiru is going to smack earth in 2012 and is a cover up by thousands of astronomers the world over, amateur and professional. I am with ya pal.
Seamutt No nibiru will not smack earth, the nearest point from earth is to be 22.3 million miles away, this planet is to be 4 times the size as jupiter so compared that to earth it's 5200 times the volume so at 22.3 million miles away it will be the same size as the sun from earth as referred to as a second sun. When this huge planet does it's flyby between earth and the sun on its orbit out of our solar system the earths orbit will bass through it's tail even at 15 million miles away with the massive size of this planet and the massive gravitational pull this tail could well be millions of miles long with astroids it collected from passing through the orion belt which is on the outside of our solar system and we will be orbiting right through its tail and be bombarded with what's in it. Our governments will do anything to keep it a secret till the point they couldn't no more and that's the time we will start seeing it in the sky as a second sun. This link will show it's timeline and coarse

I will lay out a series of symptoms that the earth has been experiencing with greater severity since 2004
1. Massive animal deaths taking place all over the globe that was covered for a week then dropped to cover the middle east yet animal deaths are still mounting and no coverage on the mainstrem media why's that?
2. Major superstorm floods taking place everywhere
3. The magnetic pole shifts that have been going on since 2004 and is becoming dramatic today
4. Irregular weather causing food shortages
5. Increased volcano eruptions
6. Increased earthquakes for example New Zealand hit twice 5.0 and greater just 5 months apart mmm very weird.
7. The wobble in the earth's rotation getting worse causing unnormal weather in the minus for a few days and in the plus for a few days over and over
8. Sunrise coming 2 days early in Greenland
9. Sudden 2010 discovery of mystery comet approaching earth by a Russian using a little 18-inch telescope?
10. No media coverage of Planet X/Comet Elenin/Nibiru calculated to pass only 22.3 million miles from earth
11. FEMA buying food and supplies for an expected New Madrid Fault Catastrophe
12. All planets in our solar system heating up
13. Airports closing down to remark their runways over magnetic pole migration.
14. Rogue tides from rising oceans
15. Moon out of place
16. Yellowstone Supervolcano rised dramatically by 11 inches in areas and recently in febuary 2011 two earthquakes om the USGS website of a 4.6 and a 4.3 quake in yellowstone but was imediately retracted and changed to a 1.8, anything 3.0 and higher is an evacuation of the area. What are they hiding?

Something is causing all this I don't have to be a scientist or astronomer to figure something is going on so i do my reseach to find whats causing this its up to everyone else to do the same and research it yourself and see what's really out there. Time to shovel my driveway
