Prince George has made it through its second large dump of snow in a week.
According to Environment Canada Meteorologist Bobby Sekhon, it’s not quite clear just how much snow fell on Saturday.
“We stopped keeping records for snowfall at Prince George in about 2009, so we cannot say if this was a record snowfall or not because we do not have the official measurements,” Sekhon said.
“It’s been hard for the [automatic stations] to pick that up, all they can pick up is the snow on the ground, and I know the snow on the ground, it changed by about 15 centimetres, but that doesn’t take into account ant drifting snow, compacting snow, that kind of thing.”
Sekhon added we could see a few more centimetres of snow on Wednesday.
“Right now it doesn’t look like it’s going to be as significant as what we saw over [Saturday],” Sekhon explained.
“Nonetheless, this week is looking a bit on the cool side, and around mid-week is when it will be a bit unsettled in terms of snowfall.”
Sekhon said a cooler trend is expected to continue for the next couple of weeks in the Prince George area.
