While final measurements won’t be made until 10 p.m. tonight, meteorologist Allan Coldwells of Environment Canada said areas of the Central Okanagan have already measured 20 centimetres, including at UBCO and in West Kelowna.
And while this evening may be slower, there is another snow system in the works rolling into the area tomorrow afternoon.
“There’s going to be more snow but it should be tapering off,” said Coldwells. “We’re not expecting significant accumulations overnight but there could be more coming by tomorrow afternoon, another five to 10 centimetres.”
The all time daily snowfall record for Kelowna for the month of December was set back in 1927, when 40.6 centimetres fell.
The daily snowfall record for Kelowna for any month of the year was set Feb. 19 of 1937 when 47 centimetres fell.
