Williams Lake residents woke up to fresh snow Friday morning.

About five centimetres of the white stuff fell overnight, leaving area roads with compact snow and slippery sections on Highway 97, Highway 20 and the Horsefly and Likely Roads, according to DriveBC.

Road conditions may be to blame for a Greyhound bus skidding off Highway 97 north of Prince George early Friday morning.

More snow is on the way for Saturday, with gusting winds bringing a change of weather in the afternoon.

Nighttime temperatures will drop to -18C Saturday and Sunday night, but with the cold will also come bright sunny skies on Sunday.

All the snow in February has made for great snow conditions at Mt. Timothy Ski Area.
