Brutal Winter Forecast
Winter forecast: More snow in Ontario and Quebec, 'dangerous' cold in Prairies
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Thursday, October 19, 2017 12:10PM EDT
AccuWeather has bad news for Canada this winter.
The U.S.-based weather forecasting service says the upcoming season will be snowier in central Canada and much colder than usual in the West.
“We are expecting anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent higher-than-normal snowfall across a good part of Ontario, especially central-southern Ontario, right up to southern Quebec,” Brett Anderson, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, told CTV News Channel on Thursday.
Most of that snow is expected to fall from late December through February, he said.
AccuWeather’s models suggest there could be significant snowstorms from Windsor, Ont., through Toronto and up into Ottawa and Montreal, especially in January and February.
In British Columbia, Whistler has already experienced one wintry storm this week, with about 15 centimetres of snow falling on Wednesday.
“Out West, we think there’s going to be plenty of snow early in the season across the Rockies and that should set us up for a really good ski season, both in the west and in the east,” Anderson said.
“Dangerous” cold spells are expected to be the bigger weather story in Western Canada, especially in the Prairies. Blasts of “Arctic air” will make temperatures plummet multiple times throughout the winter, according to the forecast.
Atlantic Canada, however, is expected to have a milder-than-normal winter with less snow than usual.

Considering the forecasters record as little as a few days out is often off a fair bit I normally don't put much stock in long term forecasts. They are improving but still have a long way to go

As a farmer the weather man still can't accurately tell me what tomorrow is going to be, I love the long term forecasts, they make me giggle.

I like the old forecasts the best that are based on animals winter hair. If the snowshoe rabbit has thick hair it is going to be a cold winter.

We got spoiled with El Niño and La Niña the last two winters so I guess that it's back to a normal Alberta winter.

Cold weather makes good fur. Less ticks and fleas and cleaner pelts. Coyotes and other carnivores move lots when gets really cold.
I was talking to an old FN elder and he said it was going to be a very cold winter. I asked him how he knew this. He replied ,"White man putting up lots of wood."
