BRRRing on the cold: Canada's winter forecast calls for frigid weather | Canada (dailyhive.com)

the Farmers’ Almanac is predicting the “return of the BRRR.”

Frigid temperatures are expected for much of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and westernmost Ontario.

Newfoundland and Labrador will experience icy temperatures but won’t be nearly as cold as the middle of the country.

British Columbia will luckily dodge this frosty forecast

Do people still take the Farmer's Almanac seriously? These weather predictions are based on things like sunspots and observations on the bushiness of squirrel tails. In a word, it's pseudoscience, and it is accurate in the same way as astrology.
