It’s back.

Snow has poured out of the sky, with city plows and sand trucks out to make the roads a bit safer.

Environment Canada predicts temperatures will stay below zero until Monday, Oct. 26, when instead of snow, there could be rain.

Oct. 23 hasn’t historically been a snow-filled day in Quesnel. In 2007, the temperature broke 20 degrees. Environment Canada’s website says the normal temperature for Oct. 23 is eight degrees.
