You won't have to dig out your car--or your snow-blower--for a while yet this winter. That's the outlook coming from AccuWeather, which just released its 2011-2012 winter forecast.
According to the weather agency, New Brunswickers should expect a tamer-than-usual winter with less snowfall than average--for now.
In southern Atlantic Canada, says meteorologist Brett Anderson, the winter will start out pretty tame. But things will turn more stormy in the coming months as the coast gets hit by wintry blasts of snow and rain.
For now, however, enjoy the not-so-wintry wonderland while it lasts.
