Expect a cold and snowy winter in the Parkland.
With a lot of snow falling last night, we reached out to Peter Giger, the editor for the Canadian Farmers Almanac, to find out what he’s predicting for the winter in the Parkland.
“Well, I would expect it’s going to be an extremely cold, teeth chattering kind of winter. I think you’re going to see a lot of snow this particular winter. We talk about snow storms starting at the end of November going through the month of March. We talk about some real extreme cold in the middle part of February.”
“If I was living in Manitoba I would be thinking about getting ready for the cold, I’d get ready for the snow, and I’d just be prepared for a longer winter.”
He says the Almanac is 75 to 85 percent accurate in their predictions by using mathematical formulas that they apply to sunspot activities, the position of the moon, etc.
“If it’s not as bad as I say, well then that’s a good thing. But I have a feeling it’s going to be a significant winter for you.”
