Ontario's Spring Forecast Just Dropped & It's Going To Be Chilly AF

So much for milder temps and sunshine.

Well, winter is almost over, which would be exciting if Ontario's spring forecast wasn't predicting two more months of wintry weather.

According to The Weather Network, the province will see periods of "colder than normal" weather throughout March and April, with additional high-impact winter weather for most regions.

But wait, it gets worse. An active storm track and a few moisture-laden systems are set to bring above-normal precipitation to Ontario, which could be bad news for farmers.

"As a result, we are concerned about the potential for a delay in the start of the planting season as fields could initially be too wet for heavy equipment," TWN says.

But residents shouldn't have to worry about flooding — so long as they live in southern Ontario, that is.

"While localized spring flooding could still occur, the risk for widespread spring flooding is lower than normal across southern Ontario, as thaws during February have significantly reduced the snowpack," TWN says.

Northern Ontario could be at risk for flooding, however, due to the parts of the region having "a deep snowpack in place."

On the upside, the cold won't be consistent, allowing Ontarians to experience early tastes of spring weather ahead of May, which will bring enough warm weather to ensure this season's temperatures end on a high note.

In conclusion, it's probably best that you save all your fun outdoor activities until late spring because things are slated to be a mixed bag until then.
