50-year-old weather record falls amid frigid cold snap in Prince George

PRINCE GEORGE — A record low temperature in Prince George today.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Gregg Walters says this morning’s low of minus 39.9 degrees broke the previous record low temperature of minus 37.8 degrees set this day in 1971.

He says things could get a bit colder this afternoon before some cloud drifts in tomorrow morning, increasing the temperature slightly.

“It (temperature) will still be well below normal, but not as cold as today,” he told CKPG News.

He says the extreme cold warning that was issued a few days ago is put in place to give people “a heads up,” and he doesn’t expect that to be lifted until tomorrow at the earliest.
