Weather: Forecast of a cold, snowy winter
in Southwestern Ontario has diminished
along with La Nina out in the Pacific Ocean
Despite earlier forecasts
of a "classic" Canadian
winter, Environment Can-
ada now predicts normal to
above -normal tempera-
tures for southern Ontario
in January and February.
Meteorologist Geoff
'Coulson said La Nina —
cool sea surface conditions
in the Pacific Ocean was
supposed to bring a lot of
lake -effect snow and frigid
temperatures. But he said
La Nina has moderated and
may dissipate by the end of
the month.
"We are leaning more
toward things being nor-
mal, maybe a little warmer
than normal," said
Coulson.
But it will be a roller
coaster with temperatures
plunging later this week
and recovering next week. •
There's still a chance for
some major snow squalls if
northwest winds sweep
over the still -warm Great
Lakes.
"Conditions will change
week to week with shots of
cold and mild air, and that's
the challenge of forecasting
Southwestern Ontario in
winter," said Coulson.
He said December had
below-average rain of 36.4
millimetres and above-
average snow of 64 centi-
metres, but the combined
precipitation was right
around normal.
He said the most striking
overall trend in 2016 was a
wet March and dry May fol-
lowed by a long stretch of
warm weather that contin-
ue d
ontin-ued until the end of
November.
participants, and a parade,
of which Bruce Power is the
title sponsor.
"Bruce Power takes great
pride in our rural heritage,
and looks forward to being
part of the 100th International
Plowing Match," said Tames
Scongack, Bruce Power's vice
president of Corporate Affairs
and Environment. "Many of
our employees were raised in
rural Ontario and have a deep
connection to the land on
which their parents, grand-
parents and great-grandpar-
ents provided for their
families."
