The worst may not be over once the deluge of snow expected to strike Prince George has stopped falling.
Once the last of the 15 and 25 cm of snow has stopped falling by Thursday morning, a "drastic coldsnap" will move in, Environment Canada warned Wednesday afternoon, as cold Arctic air will push southward.
"The leading edge of the Arctic air will be accompanied by gusty winds and plummeting temperatures," Environment Canada said. "Areas where temperatures remained below freezing will experience reduced visibilities in blowing snow."
The high for Thursday is forecast to be -14 C and the deep freeze is expected to last through to Monday with highs ranging from -15 to -18 C before easing off to -10 C on Tuesday.
The overnight low, meanwhile, will range from -18 C to -27 C.
