We had another wet and windy day again yesterday.Temps were in the +5C range and it was very windy for most of the day and evening.Overnight the sky finally began to clear and the winds died down.
We are expecting a few showers or flurries today and things are looking great for Christmas Day and Boxing Day with sunny periods and no precip expected.
We may get hit with another storm on Monday.It is still too early to say if it will be rain or snow.

Today’s Weather Trivia:
24 December 2008: A handful of volunteers frantically dug out a herd of starving horses near McBride, BC. Trapped in snow more than 2 m deep, the horses were skinny, frostbitten, and missing large patches of hair. Their frail health precluded a helicopter rescue. Snowmobilers and other volunteers began hand-digging a 2,300 m trail to bring the animals to safety despite difficult weather. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
