Residents of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, should prepare for winter-like weather today as a late-season storm brings significant snow and freezing temperatures. According to Environment Canada, the area is expected to receive between 5 and 10 centimetres of snow on March 20, 2026.
Temperatures are set to stay below freezing all day with a forecast high of only -2°C. Strong east winds reaching 30 km/h will make it feel much colder, with a morning wind chill of -14°C that will only move up to -9°C by the afternoon.
These conditions are likely to make roads slippery and create difficult driving conditions for anyone traveling through the region. People working or spending time outdoors should be aware of the cold temperatures and the risk posed by the biting wind chill.
While spring is officially around the corner, this type of weather is a regular occurrence for March in the Peace River region. Local drivers are encouraged to take extra care and plan for extra travel time until conditions improve.
