moz Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Why would the world laugh? The same thing happens here in Vancouver. Besides these delays are all over Europe. http://www.usatoday....ze-travel_N.htm Haha does it? I just find it amusing that a bit of snow breaks the country down EVERY time. Didn't know the extent of the rest of Europe though, I bet Paris looks lovely in the snow, shame I can't get there. Eurostar booking office is closed now until the new year, bit crap if you wanted to change your plans. edit - there is a show on tonight / now called "Frozen Britain: BBC News Special", talk about over the top.

Wetcoaster Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 All those of us from Metro Vancouver join in and sing: I'm dreaming of a grey Christmas... If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas this year, you’re out of luck. Despite much cajoling, Environment Canada meteorologist Greg Pearce said Dec. 25 is shaping up to be wet and dreary, with a lot of grey and not much white. “Pretty poor” was Pearce’s prognosis when asked what are the chances of Metro Vancouver getting a dusting of snow in time for Christmas Day. But could things still change? Could La Nina kick into high gear? Could an arctic front come barrelling in from the north? “Well, we could get surprised,” allowed Pearce — a smart addendum, considering the unpredictable nature of weather forecasting. But then he continued: “We are looking at temperatures for Friday of 10 C. So I don’t think there’s any chance. No, it’s pretty well nil.” Despite a frigid start to the season — November’s early snowfall and deep freeze — B.C.’s south coast is experiencing a mild December so far. “December has turned out to be warmer than normal,” said Pearce, adding temperatures are expected to nudge higher as the week progresses. “It’s not looking wintery for sure.” The average temperature for the month at Vancouver International Airport has been 5.3 C, which is a degree higher than normal. The forecast for Christmas Day for Vancouver is 8 C, 7 C for Victoria, 2 C for the Interior, and 6 C for eastern Vancouver Island, which, along with Howe Sound and Squamish, was under a snowfall warning Monday. If you’re after a white Christmas, you’ll have to head north to Fort Nelson or Deas Lake, said Pearce. Up in Whistler, there might be snow in the alpine areas, but Whistler Village, where temperatures are expected to hover at around 1 C on Christmas Day, will likely get rain or slush. The last time Metro Vancouver enjoyed a winter-wonderland Christmas was two years ago, when 27 cm fell at Vancouver International Airport on Christmas eve. http://www.theprovince.com/life/White+Christmas/4005683/story.html#ixzz18igfFwZ7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
