Environment and Climate Change Canada has shared that since September, snowfall amounts across Canada have been well below seasonal norms, with some areas—like southern Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec—seeing virtually no snow at all. This is due to unusually mild temperatures that are expected to persist.
Why it matters:
-Less snow means reduced soil insulation, risking deeper soil frost that can harm plants and ecosystems.
-Snowmelt is crucial for spring groundwater recharge; a diminished snowpack could impact water supplies and agriculture.
– Dry soils in spring may lead to an earlier forest fire season.
