All the snowbirds looking at the site today, must be smiling. The  tape measure shows just how much snow has been dumped on Prince George over the past 24 hours.   

The second picture puts it all in perspective.  

Further snowfall amounts of about 5 to 10 cm are expected today in Prince George as a moist pacific system is moving across B.C. today and will continue to spread snow heavy at times this morning. 

Overnight 5 to 25 cm of snow fell across southern British Columbia. We aren't getting the worst of it.  environment canada reports that since Saturday 50 to 90 cm has been reported near Revelstoke and there is  another 5-10 cm on the way today. 

A cold front will sweep across British Columbia from the north late today giving a return to cooler temperatures with more snow and more wind to southern interior. 

There was one vehicle roll over early this morning on Highway 16 , no one hurt, poor visibility and bad road conditions to blame.  For the latest weather information, click here  and for the latest road conditions click here.

So we finally got a little bit of snow.
I've got a grader that loves to plow snow, any chance the city would hire a non union snow plow?
I bet you folks would be gagging on snow up past your arm pits, and the city would still not hire outside temporary help. Wouldn't want the city workers to go on strike just when people expect snow to be plowed.
I am very happy with all the beautiful snow.....it fills in all the huge cracks and potholes in the roads!

And there is no dust!

Let's hope winter sticks around for another nine months or more!
I was just reading the newspaper ... you know, that other news medium .... and it "talks" about the storm in St. John's on Saturday - 60 cm of snow which is 4 times what we got - 15 cm in one hour, wind gusts to 130km/h ... which really does wonders to snow drifts in one's driveway.

Are we turning into a buch of wimps?

;-)
Owl: "Are we turning into a bunch of wimps?"

Yes. I used to have to shovel the roof twice each winter during the 70's....living in the Hart!

Don't know the last time I had to do that, it has been so long ago!
