BLACK FRIDAY STARTS EARLY

Williams Lake has never seen more snow fall in a 24-hour period than it did last Friday between Nov. 15 and Nov. 16. — at least since Environment Canada started recording snowfall back in 1961. “You were the top of the list as the winter storm’s centre went right through Williams Lake,” Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist said Tuesday. “Now we are into Arctic air.” The Williams Lake Airport received 51 cm, with the next highest being the Coquihalla Summit where they received 35 cm, and Allison Pass which received 32 cm. Transit buses were cancelled on Friday because of the snow and all flights into the airport were unable to land, because of a low visibility ceiling. “It was that coastal snow, heavy and wet, not that normal Cariboo dry snow that provides reasonable traction,” said Kevin Goldfuss, director of municipal services. “Who would have thought that we’d get such a major snow fall on Nov. 15.” The large snowfall took the city by surprise, Goldfuss said.
