the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting the “return of the BRRR.”
Frigid temperatures are expected for much of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and westernmost Ontario.
Newfoundland and Labrador will experience icy temperatures but won’t be nearly as cold as the middle of the country.
British Columbia will luckily dodge this frosty forecast
I'm fine with that. Cold winters are supposed to be normal out here anyway.
It'll help slow the encroachment of invasive plant and animal species from other parts of the continent.
The problem is if it is too cold for too long, things break. When I've experienced long durations of extremely cold weather, things get bad.
Ice accumulates inside, vents freeze over, cars don't start, etc. It's not good.
But it is our former normal ... and I'll be happier to see that again.
Depends what we're getting. A nice, median, general cold would be good. But an average cold that includes several -40 storms isn't great, and is probably what we'll get.
Do people still take the Farmer's Almanac seriously? These weather predictions are based on things like sunspots and observations on the bushiness of squirrel tails. In a word, it's pseudoscience, and it is accurate in the same way as astrology.
