The December forecast is out for the Prairies and it is NOT cute

It’s going to be a snowy and cold December for the Prairie provinces, according to the Old Farmers’ Almanac’s long-range weather forecast for the holiday season.

“Winter will be colder than normal, with above-normal precipitation and near- to below-normal snowfall. The coldest periods will be in mid-November through early December, early and late January, and late February,” the forecast stated.

The snowiest periods of the winter will be in late November, mid- and late December, and late January.
