According to an article in the Ottawa Citizen, not reproduced online, Environment Canada has revealed that the best place in Canada to experience a perfectly snowy Christmas Day is Timmins. Just having a white Christmas is not good enough. The perfect Christmas must have a blanket of snow at least 2cm thick, plus at least 1cm of snow actually falling on Dec. 25. Timmins boasts this perfect weather on 56% of Christmases in the past half century, plus an average December snowfall of 72cm and an average December temperature of -14 degrees.
Here are some quotes:
David Phillips, Canada's most famous weatherman: "If I was working with the Timmins tourist bureau, I would pump this for all you've got. It may be the ony thing climate-wise that they've go going for them."
Timmins Mayor Jamie Lim: "I have to tell you, Timmins on Christmas Day is exactly what we all think Christmas should be. You have to love winter though."
