Canada's weather has been absolutely insane this winter season. However, it doesn't feel like winter everywhere in Canada right now. It currently feels like spring in BC, while it's still snowing and -50°C in Ontario. Overall, BC's winter has not been like other provinces in Canada. Several provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan received their first snowfall as early as September. Earlier this month, there were even extreme cold weather warning alerts issued by Environment Canada to eight provinces all on the same day.
