The chilly temperature will continue into the weekend.
The potential for daytime highs will continue to hover around the -19 mark until Sunday with temperatures expected to climb back to -7 by Wednesday.
Environment Canada Meteorologist, Alan Coldwell says the current temperature is not uncommon for this time of year and in fact, historically, the Bulkley Valley has seen colder days.
“If I look at the record for this day for Smithers Airport, it was -38.5 in 1996, which is way colder than what we are dealing with now.”
If you factor in the brisk wind, the current windchill could feel more like -29.
