Winter Officially Arrives Late This Morning

May not be as bad as some have predicted

Seems like it’s been here for a couple of weeks, but winter’s official arrival is not until 11:28 this morning. And while some forecasters have predicted it’s going to be a harsh winter, Environment Canada’s David Phillips says his models suggest something different…

We’ve had one already of those days this month. January, says Phillips looks like it will be colder than normal. Then he thinks we’ll get another freezing/melting period like we did last year. As for a White Christmas…

Phillips noting that in these parts we get a White Christmas 70 per cent of the time.

Oh, and as of today, we start getting more daylight hours.
