For a second time in five days, a snowfall warning has been issued for north of Prince George.

Environment Canada's forecast is calling for 15 cm of snow at the Pine Pass along Highway 97 with the heavy stuff expected by tonight (Feb. 24).

According to the national service, a Pacific frontal system is likely to spread the snow in the area for several hours overnight and could make its way to the northern capital as well in the amount of 10 cm.

Prince George may also experience winds of up to 60 km/h tonight, but the snow may ease into flurries by Thursday morning (Feb. 25).

Drivers are being asked to adjust habits if travel is necessary through the Pine Pass in the next 24 hours.

Visibility may be reduced suddenly as a result of the heavy snowfall.
