This is the hilarious moment a BBC weather forecaster ducked to avoid a flying snowball that had appeared on screen behind him during a live broadcast.
BBC forecaster Chris Fawkes made the amusing slip during his broadcast on Thursday morning as footage was being shown of a large snowball fight in Vancouver on the screen behind him.
He is seen ducking to avoid the virtual snowball mid-sentence and appears to start to laugh once he realises his mistake.
Commenting on the video being played behind him, he says: “This was the scene around Vancouver.
“Yes, a mass snow ball brawl breaking out as we’ve seen lots of heavy snow here over recent days.”
Viewer Diini Omar, who spotted the amusing moment, tweeted: “BBC weather man ducks from snow ball on screen, it was hilarious.”
It came as snowstorms hit parts of the US and Canada.
Between eight and 14 inches of snow had fallen in the north-east United States including Boston and New York, while up to eight inches had fallen in the city of Vancouver, Canada.
