It’s been a very snowy start to March in northern B.C.
Areas such as Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, Taylor and Cecil Lake have received almost as much snow in only 24 hours as the average for all of March.
Global BC viewers have sent in photos of the snow.
Here’s one from Fort St. John sent in by Cassie Sonnenberg; she said her neighbour took the photo:
