Prince George was four degrees warmer than normal during January according to Environment Canada.
The average temperature was -3.8 degrees, while the normal high is -7.9.
It was equally as dry with only 22 millimetres of precipitation falling, which is 40% of normal.
Meteorologist, Doug Lundquist spoke to MyPGNow.com.
“In fact, it was so dry that it was in the top five as it came in as the fourth driest January for Prince George with records dating back to 1943.”
Lundquist added the northern capital will either see an average or below average February.
“You are right on the line between the category that’s near average or below average so the southern half of BC might be near average while the northern part of the province is expected to colder than average with Prince George right on the line for that.”
“However, it has been so warm for December and January it will be pretty hard to throw the winter as a whole into the cold category because there is one month left.”
PG is expected to see 5-10 centimetres of snowfall this evening.
