Santa Claus came to town! His sleigh was spotted over this Quebec village
A rare weather report was issued overnight into Christmas Day.
Pilots and meteorologists normally use a METAR weather report to convey vital weather conditions and reports, but it detected something strange above the skies in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec.
Kuujjuaq Airport (YVP), posted this METAR at midnight local time.

The intriguing sighting can be found in the RMK (remark) section. In Canada, this section is typically reserved for describing cloud layers and the percentage of cloud cover. However, this time it was used to report a sighting of Santa Claus.
Santa brought some light snow to the region as his sleigh flew by the small village in the wee hours of Christmas Day.
While there have not been any official photos of Santa and his nine reindeer in Kuujjuaq, rest assured that he was able to make all of his deliveries in the village and across Canada.
