The thermometer outside my back door west of Bragg Creek, Alberta said -20 C this morning, a temperature soon confirmed by the resident border collie whose outside morning routine lasted less than 30 seconds. Environment Canada predicts we Canadians will all have lots of cold weather this year - more, in fact, than we've had for almost 15 years. So button up Canucks. Global warming is taking a holiday.
TORONTO - After years of warmer-than-normal winters that spurred constant talk of global warming, winter this year is expected to be the coldest in almost 15 years and should remind everyone of what real Canadian cold feels like, Environment Canada said Friday.
With the exception of only small pockets of northern Canada and southwestern Ontario, this December through February is forecast to be one of the harshest winters in recent memory across the country, said senior climatologist David Phillips.

Au contraire! If it were not for Global Warming it would be -40C. So be happy.

ppeggy, thanks for this. Brrr...glad I live on the west coast! Good secondary reporting by "resident border collie" as well. He should be praised for his efforts (or she).
Good stuff!

On holiday in the Canadian Rockies, the photo one was taken on October 28, the 2007 last in the Nationnale Park... I saw splendid landscapes....

There's always warmth where there's cold! This photo was taken in the
foothills of the Rockies in the Castle River area of Southern Alberta.

ppeggy, good stuff.
But you're wrong about global warming. Climate change is going to create more extreme weather situations. Well, that's at least what the scientists say.

Increasingly barren trees just outside of my college, collecting the snow briefly while the chilly wind takes a break.

ppeggy, Chilly Story, Brrrrrrrrr is right, I agree with Kaitlin, I too am glad I live in Vancouver, though yesterday and today do not seem very warm. My Fig tree looks more like a Christmas Tree. Though I will never complain having been brought up in Fort Churchill, Manitoba in Polar bear country

This morning it's -32C and I have no water because the pipes are frozen. This happens at some point almost every year but not usually this early. Just thought I'd let you know. By the way, what a great collection of 'Winter In Canada' photos you've sent in.

Arrgh! Canadians complaining about SNOW!
Don't see any complaints coming out of Colorado, or Wyoming, or Montana!
