Yup. In Ontario, it feels like something is broken. Most of Jan and Feb was above freezing. Usually there’s only a handful of days above freezing.

In BC, seems we in a late cold snap.

Going from highs of 12s one week ago, to possibly some snow and highs of 0 degrees celsius next week at end of February and early March.

We use to get big dumps of snow, only a few times, maybe none/once in nov-jan.

Last year it snowed like twice, this year 8 or 9 times as already(I am at a higher hillside elevation).

And last summer we had record highs.

My spot in AB was down to -46C for a minute in December, and then like +5C last week. Turns everything into a hellish ice-scape when the pendulum swings back, too.

Thankfully that -40C weather lasted long enough to kill off the pine beetles and ticks, but it's definitely spooky.

I remember trick or treating as a kid in snow. Haven't seen that in ages.
