According to the 2025 Old Farmers’ Almanac Canadian Edition, there will be below-average snowfall for most of Canada this winter, with the middle of the country, including Ontario, being the exception.
The forecast says “a more moderate winter is on deck after a sweltering summer, calling for mild temperatures and below-average snowfall in many parts of Canada except for in Ontario.”
“Temperate is on tap for most of the country this winter, but let it snow in Ontario!,” said Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor, in a statement.
“A winter of big freezes and heavy snowfall will be centered in Ontario and eastern Manitoba, while most of the rest of the country will get a reprieve from snow-shoveling and super-cold temperatures.”
Before that when autumn begins on Sept. 22, the Almanac says Canada can expect near-to-below-normal precipitation across the Maritimes, southwestern Ontario, southern British Columbia, Yukon, and Northwest Territories.
However, the Almanac says above-normal precipitation is likely for much of the area for southern Quebec, southeastern Ontario and the Prairies.
