Cold, snowy Christmas expected in the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District

Snowy and cooler weather is expected across the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District over the holiday season.

According to Environment Canada, an arctic front has been lingering above northern B.C. over the past few days which is starting to move east.

“Daytime highs today (Thursday) will be -2 but for the remainder of the work week and through the weekend, we’ll probably hit the -10 to -14 degree range,” said Meteorologist Brian Proctor.

He added snow is also expected over the coming days though not expecting a lot to fall at any given time.

“We’re probably going to see five to 10 centimetres on and off but nothing particularly onerous or drastic,” said Proctor.

Temperatures are expected to remain cool until Christmas along with the periods of snow.

“We’ll probably start to see temperatures on Christmas day come back up to -10 and then warming up as we get towards the end of the year,” Proctor said.

No extreme cold weather alerts are expected over the next couple of weeks with the lowest temperature expected being -24 degrees Monday night.
