Albert just went through a hot, snow-free November, and could be in for a brown Christmas come December, a local meteorologist says. The Edmonton region closed out November without a trace of snow on the ground — a sharp contrast to last year, when we had about 20 cm of the stuff.

Environment Canada meteorologist Alysa Pederson said people expecting a fresh dusting of the white stuff in time for Christmas morning will be disappointed. No precipitation is expected to fall in the Edmonton region in the coming days and with unseasonably mild temperatures expected to stick around, any skiff of snow still lingering in the city is expected to melt. According to Pederson, it's not going to get any more snowy and what you see is what you are going to get. The current forecast calls for a sunny Christmas day with an afternoon just above zero. Temperatures on Boxing Day could reach 6 C.
