PRINCE GEORGE — Hot on the heels of the deep freeze people in the Interior have been feeling the past week or so is heavy snow.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning and say that Monday evening, an arctic front will begin to sweep across the province from north to south, bringing periods of snow.

“At the same time, a Pacific low pressure system will be approaching the coast from the west. As the moisture from the Pacific system interacts with the cold front from the north, periods of heavy snow are expected, and snowfall warnings may be necessary in some regions.”

Environment Canada is calling for 10 centimetres of snow Monday night into Tuesday morning with the temperature steady near minus 19 in Prince George. With the windchill, expect a low of minus 29. Another 5 to 10 centimetres of snow is expected on Tuesday.
