As Eastern parts of Canada and the U.S. expect record high temperatures for the holidays , the Prairies are set to be the envy of people who like a white Christmas.
But, according toThe Weather Network meteoroligst Doug Gillham, people will have to make do with the snow already on the ground.
“Nothing’s going to melt, but you’re not going to be really addding to that other than maybe, you know, a few flurries or ice crystals,” he said during an appearance on Gormley.
Gillham said that all of Western Canada can expect a mild winter, even after Christmas has come and gone.
“From Lake Superior to the West, expect the winter as a whole to be above seasonal,” he said.
Gillham said El Nino is the major force driving the warmer weather this year.
