As far as the weather's concerned, there are no tricks in store Thursday for Halloween trick or treaters.
The long stretch of sunny weather will continue this week until Friday, with single-digit highs and no rain or snow expected on Halloween night.
Prince George is currently under the influence of a ridge of high pressure over the coast that's keeping skies clear, while a modified Arctic ridge east of the Rockies is bringing northeast winds and cold air which kept the Monday's temperatures below the freezing mark.
The cold front was expected to bring an overnight low of -12 C Tuesday morning and a daytime high of 0 C.
"That's quite a bit colder than normal for this time of year," said Armel Castellan, an Environment Canada meteorologist.
It should get slightly warmer as the week progresses with Wednesday's high reaching 4 C and a low of -3 C. The Halloween daytime high will reach 5 C, with a low of -4 C. Showers and cloudy skies will move in for the weekend but the sun will stick around for part of Friday with a high of 7 C and an overnight low of 1 C and a 60 per cent chance of rain or wet flurries wet snow that night.
Saturday will be cloudy and wet with a 60 per cent chance of showers and a high of 7 C, dropping to 0 C at at night and a high of 5 C on Sunday under cloudy skies.
The normal temperatures this time of year for Prince George are 5 C for a high and -3 C for a low.
"That's pretty much bang-on average," said Castellan. "The mean temperature for Prince George for Halloween is -0.3 degrees and I would expect crossing the zero line in those early evening hours is pretty much likely.
"What's nice is at least you're going to be waiting for the rain and the snow, which is going to be coming on the weekend, so a bit less yucky trick or treating weather. Forty-three per cent of the time there's measurable precipitation and we aren't falling in that 43 per cent, you're pretty much guaranteed not to have any rain or snow."
The warmest Halloween on record was in 1958 when the average hourly (mean) temperature was 13.9 C. On October 31, 1984, the coldest Prince George Halloween on record, the day started at -26.5 and the mean temperature was -19.9 C, with 7.6 centimetres of snow. The biggest snowfall came in 1919 when the city was buried under 35 centimetres. The wettest Halloween was in 1959,with 14.5 millimetres or rain.
Castellan said by next week the coastal ridge will weaken and will no longer block the cool continental air coming down from the north and eventually that will bring more clouds and precipitation.
