Winter Set to Redeem Itself After Record-Breaking Warmth

 

After experiencing the warmest winter on record last year, Canada is bracing for a colder season this year, according to The Weather Network's chief meteorologist, Chris Scott. Scott predicts that this winter will attempt to "salvage its reputation" with generally colder temperatures and more impactful weather compared to last year.

The forecast indicates that Western Canada will see near- or above-normal snow totals, while Ontario and Quebec can expect significant winter weather in December. However, Scott warns that the overall winter will still not be a "blockbuster" for any region.

"It's coming east in a hurry, and it will pack a real punch," Scott said, noting that there will be a "mad scramble for winter tires and salt" in Ontario and Quebec.

The Weather Network's seasonal forecast suggests that while January and February may be milder in Quebec and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan will experience a more typical winter. The forecast also brings good news for drought-weary prairie farmers, who rely on snowmelt to boost soil moisture in the spring.
