Friday marks the first day of spring, but residents of the Peace Region have to endure more snowfall before spring-like temperatures arrive.
Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for the South Peace Region on Friday morning.
Brian Proctor, a meteorologist for Environment Canada, says the snowfall was fairly intense south of Dawson Creek, especially near Tumbler Ridge.
In those areas, the weather agency is expecting 10 to 15 centimetres of snow. In addition, the forecast calls for another five days with a chance of snowfall.
Proctor says the Peace Region could see between 20 and 40 centimetres of snow by the end of Wednesday.
He adds that an Arctic front is expected to move into the region early next week, potentially causing another period of intense snowfall.
