Old Man Winter is ringing in the New Year with a fresh blanket of snow for the Prince George area.
With four to eight centimetres of the white stuff in the forecast for today (Friday), another 20cm is being predicted for Saturday and Sunday.
As for what’s causing this, Environment Canada Meteorologist, Ken Dosanjh spoke with MyPGNow.com.
“We have this low-pressure system coming in from the south coast and basically north and Prince George will see the large extent of this low and the precipitation band will be very existent within the central interior.”
“It’s really Saturday during the daytime where we are anticipating five to ten centimetres of snow with the peak timing the late morning and into the early afternoon and then as you transition towards Saturday, we will have a little snow but conditions will ease a little bit.”
“However, as we look into Sunday, we will have an additional five to ten centimetres Sunday afternoon. We are going to be in this snowy period for the remainder of the week.”
When it came to December as a whole, the average mean temperature in the city was -6.7 degrees while the northern capital saw 55 millimeters of precipitation, the normal for the month is around 40.
