Winter Outlook

Winter officially begins on Tuesday, December 21, at 10:59 am EST and ends on Sunday, March 20, 2022.

Winter across Canada typically has no shortage of cold snaps and snow in practically every corner of the country.

If you're looking for a typical Canadian winter, you'll be out of luck on both coasts with temperatures in Atlantic Canada expected to be higher than normal and the opposite will hold true on the west coast with coastal British Columbia looking at cooler temperatures.

Precipitation will be near normal for most areas.
