Nanaimo April Snowfall

Is It Safe To Come Out Now??

This confused little dandelion is wondering 'what is up with this Nanaimo weather?'.

Saturday morning saw over 12 inches of snow fall on Nanaimo in a very short time. It started around 2:00am and continued until early morning.

City works were caught off guard with most 'winter' equipment not in service leaving the roads a real mess. Temperatures of course were the prime method of clearing the roads, with much of the snow gone off the roads by early afternoon.

The heavy snow which seemed to stick to branches like glue caused many damaged trees and power outages for parts of the city. Arborists and anyone with a chainsaw will be busy cleaning up the aftermath. I cleared the snow on my trees at least three times and avoided any serious damage but several shrubs and bushes took a beating under the weight of the snow.

There are even a few flurries forecast for this morning again with the snow turning to showers by this afternoon according to the weather office. You can check the Nanaimo forecast by clicking this link.

The fourteen day forecast for Nanaimo is predicts below normal temperatures to continue until about the end of the month.

So where is this global warming when you need it??
