SURPRISE NANAIMO SNOWFALL

NANAIMO WAKES
TO SURPRISE BLANKET OF WHITE

Nanaimo residents awoke this morning to about 2 to 3 inches of the white stuff, which had not been predicted by the weather gurus.
As of last night at 11:30pm the weather report was still calling for rain, even though the white stuff was falling with a vengence.
It would have slowed people down this morning having to clear their cars and perhaps shovel their driveways, but in typical Nanaimo fashion it was raining and melting by 7:00 am.
The rest of Canada can't understand why we wetcoasters make such a deal about a little bit of snow, but that's the way we get, living in Canada's banana belt.
A reminder, that some of your plants might appreciate gently shaking off the snow, as it was quite wet and heavy and was weighing down the shrubbery.
