Transcript-White Christmas?

SO – “In this modern age..” (Sound fades under narration)

Normally, when people think of Christmas, they think carolers, parades, food, presents, and Christmas specials. Lately in Fredericton, the cheery christmas atosphere has been vacant from the minds of its residents, partially do in part to the warm and wet weather, and the lack of that cold white stuff on the ground, making some residents question the prospect of a white Christmas.

VO – It’s been so incredibly snowy in Fredericton in the last couple of winters. It’s hard to believe there won’t be some sort of repeat of that. However, I have had many Fredericton winters where there has been no snow by Christmas, so…

To a certain degree the blame can be put on the amazingly mild November we had. In fact, this November the capital district has averaged temperatures of 9.7 Degrees Celsius, which is almost 3 degrees higher than last year at this time. In November 2007 the average was 5.8 degrees Celsius and in 2004 it averaged 5.9. As you can see there is quite a jump in temperature.

VO – Very skeptical about that, because it’s raining, and tomorrow is December 1st. When this happens home [sic], it’s a green Christmas.

O/C – As you can see, the weather here right now has been dreary. In fact, this whole month has been warmer than normal. The mean temperature this month compared to November 2008 is two degrees higher, and three degrees higher from November 2007. Will it be a white Christmas? Well, December 2008 saw 10 days of snowfall, and December 2007 had snow on the ground the whole month.

Hey! It snowed yesterday, so maybe there is some hope. MS. STU J. Fred.
