AccuWeather is out with its latest winter forecast, and how you see it depends on if you consider your driveway half full of snow, or half cleared.
"We are expecting anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent higher-than-normal snowfall across a good part of Ontario, especially central-southern Ontario, right up to southern Quebec," Brett Anderson, a senior meteorologist with the U.S.-based weather forecasting service told CTV News Channel on Thursday.
It may seem hard to believe considering it's expected to be sunny over 21 degrees over the course of this late October weekend, but Anderson said the upcoming season will be hard across Canada.
According to AccuWeather's models, significant snowstorms will likely hit Windsor, Ontario through Toronto, up to Ottawa and out to Montreal.
He said the snow fall is expected to start late December and will get heavy in January and February.
On the bright side it should make for a fantastic ski season.
Out West it may not be a simple winter wonderland.
Anderson said models predict "dangerous" cold spells in Western Canada and the Prairies. He said temperatures could see massive drops multiple times throughout the winter thanks to blasts of "Arctic air" coming down from the north.
Silver lining for Montrealers, it's not supposed to get nearly as cold as out West, just filled with plenty of snowstorms.
For those living in Atlantic Canada, they may get a break this year. Accuweather predictions show a milder-than-normal winter with less snow than usual.
