Media Advisory

DARTMOUTH, December 2, 2004 -- Environment Canada has designated December 6-10th as its fourth annual Severe Winter Weather Awareness Week in the Atlantic Provinces. Environment Canada holds severe weather awareness campaigns to remind Atlantic Canadians to be aware of and, more importantly, prepared for potentially dangerous winter weather conditions. During the week Environment Canada Weather Preparedness Meteorologists (WPMs) will give interviews on a number of subjects relating to the winter seasonal outlook and winter weather hazards including: wind chill, freezing rain, heavy snowfall/blizzards, storm surge, and other weather warnings issued by the Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre. WPMs can also provide general winter weather preparedness tips. As of December 6th, Environment Canada's special severe weather web site (http://www.atl.ec.gc.ca/weather/severe) will be updated, containing comprehensive information, helpful resources and links and compelling weather pictures relating to severe weather. Web visitors will be invited to take our online quiz to learn about severe winter weather in the Atlantic Provinces and to enter for a chance to win an Environment Canada weather trivia calendar or the grand prize weather thermometer. - 30 - For more information, please contact: Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Tamara Gates-Hollingsworth (902)426-1205 Newfoundland and Labrador Herb Thoms (709)256-6631 New Brunswick Claude Cote (506)452-4166
