PG residents during the evening commute had to fight through Old Man Winter who provided a snow squall for the area last night (Thursday).
The cold front led to challenging driving conditions especially on Highway 97 where the PG RCMP responded to two motor incidents near Summit Lake involving a combined seven vehicles.
Environment Canada Meteorologist, Tanmay Rane told MyPGNow.com three to five centimetres fell last night (Thursday) and the cold front will stick around for the next week.
“We have an arctic front that passed through the region and we have a pool of cold air that is just going to sit where the Central Interior and Prince George region are at least through Christmas.”
The snow squall also included 30 kilometre per hour winds, which gusted up to 50 km/hr, which also gave us some blowing snow.
Rane said daytime temperatures will be ten degrees below normal for this time of year while the overnight lows are expected to be two to three degrees off the seasonal mark.
