Severe winter weather continues to affect British Columbia, with the federal weather forecaster issuing extreme cold warnings in more than a dozen areas in the province’s central and northern regions.
Environment Canada says temperatures will dip between –30 C and – 40 C in communities such as Fort Nelson, Prince George and Williams Lake starting Wednesday night.
Combined with northerly winds of up to 20 km/h, temperatures will feel as low as –45 C in many central areas of the province, and as cold as –50 C further north, the forecaster said.
“So, very, very cold wind chill and this is due to cold Arctic air,”
