A man makes his way onto Parliament Hill Monday January 21, 2019 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldTORONTO -- It may still be summer, but Canadians should brace for a "cold and snowy" winter throughout most of the country if the latest prediction from the Farmers' Almanac is to be believed.
The almanac sees western Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and eastern British Columbia experiencing much colder than normal winter temperatures, while near-normal temperatures are forecast near the Pacific coast of B.C. The almanac suggests there may also be "snow way out" for those who live in western Quebec and Ontario where snowier-than-normal conditions are forecast. Additionally, above-normal snow levels are expected over the interior of B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.
For much of the eastern half of the country, the final week of March looks stormy with a significant late-season snowfall blowing into Ontario and Quebec and then moving into the Maritimes. Near-normal winter precipitation will cover the rest of the country..
