Canadians can expect a cold and snow-filled winter season, says the Farmers’ Almanac forecast, as the winter “cold event” La Niña delivers below-normal temperatures to about two-thirds of the country, from east of the Rockies to Ontario.

The Almanac’s extended weather forecast says La Niña will affect temperatures from late 2024 and into 2025, with the coldest temperatures from the Prairies to the Great Lakes region.
