Old Farmer S Almanac Frigid Cold Winter For Canada

“Ice, ice, ice. . . however you say ‘cold,’ that’s what most Canadians are in store for this winter,” Canadian editor Janice Stillman said in a statement. “As an added ‘bonus’, we’re also expecting a series of unusual mini-freezes across many parts of the country, which will sneak in and surprise with their intensity.” The magazine also predicts the cold weather will come early, with “ice pack conditions” arriving sometime in the second half of November. Already, wintry weather has hit Northern Canada this month, with parts of Nunavut experiencing temperatures that dipped into the low single digits last week. Southern Quebec and Atlantic Canada could see their first snowstorm as early as November, the Almanac predicts, with several additional major snowstorms to follow later in the season. In the grasslands, the Almanac expects temperatures to be 7C below average by January. Ontario, which had to dig out from a record-breaking blizzard last January, could see a snowier winter, while warmer parts of central Canada and much of B.C. they could see more sleet and freezing rain. Founded in 1792 and the oldest continuously published periodical in North America, The Old Farmer’s Almanac claims an overall accuracy rate of 80 percent — a number that meteorologists and weather experts have disputed over the years. Last year, the Almanac was very accurate in predicting rainfall trends, but was only about 50 percent accurate in predicting the direction of temperature, according to the magazine’s own analysis of its forecasts. This year’s forecast of colder temperatures and heavier snowfall is generally in line with long-range weather forecasts made by its similarly named competitor, The Farmer’s Almanac, although the slightly younger annual publication – founded in 1818 – expects decent skiing conditions in BC a mix of snow, sleet, ice and rain in the Maritimes. Both almanacs use similar considerations to make their long-term predictions, including solar science or sunspots and weather patterns. Both versions also use additional proprietary weather formulas. The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is constantly updating its technology and methods and uses the latest satellite data, technology and equipment to make its long-range projections. Almanacs aren’t the only ones that make long-term weather predictions. The U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization said Wednesday that La Nina conditions, which include a major cooling of ocean surface temperatures, are expected to last until the end of the year. La Nina is a natural and cyclical cooling of parts of the equatorial Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide, but its continued strong presence is unnatural. Even so, it gives forecasters more confidence in their forecasts, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson told CTVNews.ca last week. Before winter hits, La Nina conditions have weather experts like Anderson predicting a windy and wet fall in BC, with a higher risk of flooding and mudslides. Grasslands are expected to see milder than normal, dry temperatures, particularly in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Eastern Canada could also see warmer and drier weather, which could push back peak fall colors by a week. With files from CTVNews.ca writer Melissa Lopez-Martinez and The Associated Press
