Wacky Weather Coast to Coast

By 250 News

Santa doesn't seem to be the only arrival from the North Pole.  This cold snap settled in over the weekend, and  we know you will want to get a handle on when  it will break.

On Wednesday, the center of the cold front remains in B.C. here is what you can look forward to:

Prince George -31
Kelowna  -23
Kamloops  -25
Vancouver -8
Prince Rupert -15
Ft St. John -35
Ft. Nelson -34
Quesnel  -28
Terrace -24
Mackenzie -31

If misery loves company you will be happy to know most of the country is in this deep freeze with us here are the predictions for Wednesday:

Calgary -35
Edmonton, -32
Grande Prairie -36
Saskatoon -25
Regina -26
Winnipeg -21

In B.C., on both the South coast and North Coast,  the chilly temps will come with "in flow" winds, in the interior of BC more winds are predicted.

The good news is, this system should break by Thursday when temperatures are expected to climb .  Prince George is supposed to hit +2, Ft. St. John will see a high of -1, in Prince Rupert the temperature will climb to +6, while in Vancouver it will reach +9.

Now if you think the weather we have been receiving in BC this fall and winter is the same across Canada, think again.

On Wednesday in Toronto the temperature will climb to +16 with a low of +12 on Wednesday. In the nation’s capital, Ottawa the temperature will reach +13 on Wednesday cooling off to +5 Wednesday night.

It doesn’t stop there.  On the east coast of Canada, former CTV News Reporter Del Archer says they've been enjoying  a record breaker through Nova Scotia  "It has been, if not the warmest November on record, certainly very close to it. It's true there have been a couple of heavy duty wind and rain storms of less than eighteen hours duration, but generally, temperatures have hovered at between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius for most of the month. It is not unusual to see folks strolling Halifax streets in T-shirts and shorts under clear skies and remarking in wonder at the foul weather being experienced on the west coast and the prairies, something more common on this side of the country in times past."

What's the outlook for the east coast for the next few days?  "More of the same warm weather" says Archer "and we'll take it!!"
