After seven years of La Nina conditions, the surface temperature of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean has warmed again, signalling the switch to a global El Nino event. Here is what Canadians can expect this El Nino winter.

    Wait so our already warm and (relatively) snow less winters over the last few years are now gonna be even warmer and less snowy? Good thing global warming’s not real and this is totally just a phase mother earth is going through or something.

      Where is that? We had a metric fuckton of snow and cold last winter in Manshitoba. I’m not denying climate change, just saying that last winter was painfully typical.

        I clear snow in Winnipeg and we definitely didn’t have a shit ton of snow last year. In fact I only had 40 hours of work between Jan 1 and the end of April.

      I was talking to someone about what we do out here in the boonies all winter. One of the things I talked about was snowshoeing. While I was talking, I realized that it’s been at least a decade since I’ve been able to snowshoe anywhere other than on the lake after it freezes. It’s not that there is never any snow in the hills, but it never lasts long enough to matter.

        our boonies must be different. i was 3 feet of snow deep in the bush just north of Muskoka all last winter. that storm at Christmas was brutal.
