After seven years of La Nina conditions, the surface temperature of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean has warmed again, signalling the switch to a global El Nino event. Here is what Canadians can expect this El Nino winter.

    I was talking to someone about what we do out here in the boonies all winter. One of the things I talked about was snowshoeing. While I was talking, I realized that it’s been at least a decade since I’ve been able to snowshoe anywhere other than on the lake after it freezes. It’s not that there is never any snow in the hills, but it never lasts long enough to matter.

      I’m in north bay and went snowshoeing a bunch last year. And ice fishing.

        Shore of Lake Diefenbaker. Ice is plentiful. Snow, not so much. We get a decent amount, then the wind and sun strips it off the hills before the next snowfall.

        Wild. We just had 4 months of November last year. And none of those months were actually November
