Fairview Knoll Park, Moncton, NB, 11 Dec 2011 (Dearing photo)
With the official end of autumn fast approaching, the starkness of winter is beginning to appear in Southeast New Brunswick (as in the above photo).
The temperature climbed to only -3.5 C in Greater Moncton yesterday and with the wind chill it felt much colder – by far the coldest day yet this season.
But with no snow in the immediate forecast according to Environment Canada, the odds of a White Christmas this year seem slim.
