Here's When Every Province Should Brace For The First Snowfall Of This Year's Early Winter

It's only a matter of time until winter in Canada arrives and the long-range forecast from the Farmers' Almanac reveals when you can expect the first flakes of snow, with some provinces getting an early blast of the season.

For Ontario, the first taste of winter comes at the end of October as stormy weather moves into the Great Lakes region, potentially bringing wet snow with it.

Also at the end of October, storms are forecast to bring wet snow to Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. Over in Newfoundland, the first blast of winter weather is expected at the beginning of November with wet snow threatening to fall for a few weeks.

For the Prairies and B.C., some snow is possible on or just before Remembrance Day in November.

As for the upcoming winter season as a whole, the Farmers' Almanac is forecasting a "frosty flip-flop" for Canada with times of frequent storms and then quieter periods. Temperatures are expected to be below normal pretty much nationwide.
