Old Man Winter here for a long time, not a good time

KAMLOOPS — Environment Canada says temperatures in the BC Interior are about 10 to 15 degrees below seasonal norms right now, and will stay that way for another week at the least.

Forecaster Ross MacDonald says an arctic air mass has settled in, bringing frigid cold to the entire province.

“This very cold, deep, penetrating Arctic air mass which has come down from Alaska and the Yukon has settled in right over all of us in B.C. and has brought very cold temperatures right across the province.”

MacDonald adds the silver lining is that, apart from a dusting of snow over the next couple of days, the Interior should see plenty of sunshine accompanying those cold temperatures.
