'Tis really is the season, isn't it? Montreal has received its first major snowstorm of the winter season and this weekend's snowfall has been nothing short of magical.
As Montrealers delight in the last vestiges of autumn warmth, there's still one thing on everyone's mind: when will the first snow touch down? Traditionally, by the end of October, regions of Quebec see the first signs of the white blanket. But, this year, the timeline might be different.
While Eastern Canada is experiencing some warmer-than-usual days, the hot temps aren't going to last for much longer. In fact, Quebec and Ontario are expected to see a sudden drop in temperatures coming next week as a polar vortex makes its way across Canada.
Snow and Canada are friends as old as time, with the return of crisp white coldness about as predictable as the rising and setting of the Sun each day. But some publications believe, despite the massive limitations of modern meteorology, that they can predict the winter weather across the country not only days, not only weeks, but months and months in advance.
