It will be a ?winter of contraries? shares editor Peter Geiger, Philom, adding, ?It?s like Old Man Winter is cutting the country in half. The eastern half of Canada will see plenty of cold and snow. The western half will experience relatively warm and dry conditions.?
According to the Canadian Farmers? Almanac, areas from Alberta and Saskatchewan east into the Maritimes will see a colder than normal winter with many locations experiencing above normal precipitation.
But for British Columbia ? chiefly those areas west and south of the Rocky Mountains ? the overall winter will be milder and drier than normal.

Ah, so I was looking at last year's. Well no matter, they're still calling for it to be very cold with lots of snow here, so nothing much changes. Last winter had just a few really cold snaps but not a lot of snow, so it was a pretty easy winter for your average Winnipegger. We're due for a bad one though, so no surprise it's being predicted.
Guess it's time to get the snow-clearing devices ready.
