Melting Arctic sea ice may be behind endless winter: scientists
Scientists are suspecting that not enough winter in the Arctic has led to too much of it across the rest of Canada.
From Toronto, where ice storms cancelled baseball games, to Calgary where residents this week faced yet another heavy snowfall warning, April 2018 has come to feel like endless winter.
Some climatologists say this is the future — long stretches of freakishly unseasonable weather that flip to something else on a dime.
“It was looking like it was going to be the warmest December on record in Western Canada,” said David Phillips, Environment Canada’s chief climatologist.
