Here's what El Nino means for Canada's winter
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.

Wait so our already warm and (relatively) snow less winters over the last few years are now gonna be even warmer and less snowy? Good thing global warming's not real and this is totally just a phase mother earth is going through or something.
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 remember when there were outdoor skating rinks in parks commonly in southern Ontario as a kid. Now you rarely see them because they would melt every 2 days. Any yet my relatives still don't believe in climate change 🙄
Where is that? We had a metric fuckton of snow and cold last winter in Manshitoba. I'm not denying climate change, just saying that last winter was painfully typical.
I clear snow in Winnipeg and we definitely didn't have a shit ton of snow last year. In fact I only had 40 hours of work between Jan 1 and the end of April.
Just because warmer temperatures may be occurring, it doesn't necessarily lead to an easier winter," Smith said.
Thanks for being such a Debby Downer, Smith!
WARMER AND DRIER
In the parts of the country that feel the effects of El Niño the most — western and central Canada as well as the Great Lakes — temperatures over the winter and possibly into spring will be warmer than average.
As someone who lives in the frozen asscrack of Canada, thank fuck. God, I hate winter so much. Shit's all gonna collapse within a few decades anyway, might as well enjoy what little relief from frigid hell I can get.
edit: not sure what the downvoters are disagreeing with here. That the cold sucks ass or that civilization is heading at light speed towards collapse?
Your main problem is heating such a large space. A small fire directly on the clothes you're wearing will give you the brief respite from the cold you need! It's cheap and easy!
