HALIFAX Maritimers dreaming of a white Christmas in 2020 had better odds of finding someone wearing shorts or at the beach on Friday and Saturday. With temperatures and conditions feeling more like a mild fall, many Atlantic Canadians spent Boxing Day engaging in unseasonable activities instead of making snowmen – enjoying the unusual weather before temperatures dropped later in the afternoon. On Saturday, some Nova Scotians enjoyed a blast of sunshine at Lawrencetown Beach. “It’s a gorgeous boxing day,” said one beachgoer. The warm weather isn’t a common Maritime Boxing Day tradition, but many were celebrating. “It’s beautiful! I love the wind,” said another beach visitor. “It’s probably about 12 degrees, and hurricane-like feeling winds out here.”
