Winter travellers set to weather lower dollar, safety concerns abroad
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Like Canadian geese along the South Saskatchewan River, many around Medicine Hat are looking at flying south this winter.
David Phillips with Environment Canada said this year’s winter severity is still up in the air due in part to a La Nina system off the Pacific coast.
“[It] tends to produce a colder than normal kind of a winter, but it’s a weak La Nina,” said Phillips. “So, it’s not as if it’s going to be brutal, I think what it will be is more of an up and down, back and forth.”
