ONTARIO — The wild and historic winter-like weather that’s impacted parts of the country this fall looks to provide us with hints of what the upcoming winter has in store. Millions are set for a ‘classic Canadian’ winter season ahead.
Early November has provided a preview of what is to come, as we expect a long, cold and snowy winter forecast. The cold weather will be most consistent during mid and late winter with extended periods of severe cold.
An active storm track will likely bring above normal snow totals to much of the region, along with a risk for freezing rain at times. An abundance of lake-effect snow is likely until above normal ice coverage on the Great Lakes becomes a limiting factor during February.
