Environment Canada meteorologist says ocean water temperatures are a more accurate indication of what kind of winter we can expect.
As hard as it is to fathom cold and snow on a hot summer’s day, Canadians might want to brace themselves forAccording to their report, provinces like Ontario and Quebec will see a “decent” amount of snow fall between January 20 to 23, with prediction of “stormy” conditions. The Prairie provinces are expected to be hit the hardest, it says.
Environment Canada meteorologist David Phillips says the ocean water temperatures in the Pacific are cooler than normal, and give insight into what winter we should expect. Phillips says the two past winters were La Niña and this model suggests we’re getting another cold episode. “That’s three in a row, which is very unusual. I think it’s happened once maybe in the last 60 years,” says Phillips.
What we can bank on is more snow for Toronto, says Phillips, but not as much as last year. “Colder than normal winter means you get more arctic air, and there’s a lot less moisture with arctic air, so you get the snow days, but you don’t get a lot of snow,” says Phillips.
