'The lost season': Winter comes to a close as Canada's warmest on record
The warmest winter on record could have far-reaching effects on everything from wildfire season to erosion, climatologists say, while offering a preview of what the season could resemble in the not-so-distant future unless steps are taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Indeed.... As a snowboard enthusiast, this season sucked and if the rumours as to be believed, we are in for a mosquito and tick infested summer ahead
Canadian farmers are going to have a rough, drought-filled year.
Alberta is already looking at rationing water resources.

And it was noticeable, too. Not much snow. Only a few cold snaps. Fire seasons going to be crazy this year.

Farmers are going to have poorer crops due to lack of soil moisture at the start of the growing season. Which will probably lead to higher food prices later in the year.

Not necessarily, we're on the tail end of El Nino, so we should get colder winters for a bit once that ends.
The last winter of La Nina will be the coldest winter we'll have again from that point forward, it's hell from there on out
I was jogging outside half a dozen times each in February and March. Before this year I'd never jogged in either month outside in Canada. There are tons of flower blossoms already. I'm already curious what next winter will look like to help make sense of if this winter was exceptionally warm and/or if climate change is accelerating
The bugs are going to be unbearable this year.
