Winter wonderland and traffic mayhem expected leading up to Christmas
NANAIMO — “It just doesn’t look like a nice place to be.”
Environment Canada meteorologist Armel Castellan told NanaimoNewsNOW heavy snowfall on Tuesday, the area should brace for more interesting and unusual weather on Thursday.
“It’s not so much a storm…cold air traveling right over Georgia Strait, which is relatively warm and that’s very unstable,” he said. “Nanaimo is a prime candidate for it as the cold air rushes over the Strait, picks up the moisture…and you can see streamers of snow.”
Castellan predicted the weather would be incredibly specific and localized on Thursday.
