“We’re going to have a lot more arctic air to deal with this year than we did last year,” said Carter, adding this will create stretches of bitter cold that could last weeks.

It is not all bad news. Carter said there will be breaks where normal or even above normal temperatures return, however it is not expected to last long.

The core of the arctic air this winter is expected to be centred in central Canada – the Great Lakes and the eastern prairies. The western prairies and B.C. have a better chance of getting some pacific air, and as a result, normal or mild weather.

“So, for folks that are out in the western part of the prairies maybe a more normal season as opposed to below normal,” said Carter.
