“With a third consecutive winter under the influence of La Niña, in the Pacific Ocean, and the presence of the polar vortex, Canadians can expect cold and active weather for the start of the winter season,” said by press release Chris Scott, MeteoMedia’s chief meteorologist.

“Unlike recent years, winter is off to a strong start in Quebec,” added André Monette, head of meteorology at MeteoMedia, in that same press release. “Several regions already have a good snow covering, and it will continue to grow. Due to the active corridor present in the Saint-Laurent valley, several storms are expected. The abundance of snow is expected in Quebec this winter, which is excellent news for enjoying outdoor activities.”

Quebec and Ontario

Winter conditions arrived quickly this year, compared to recent winters, where there was sometimes no snow on Christmas Day.

“The polar vortex will be more in the centre of the country, keeping the coldest anomalies far from the two provinces,” the press release specified. “Some incursions of arctic air are still to be expected. With a mild anomaly present on the American east coast, Quebec and eastern Ontario will find themselves in the axis of an active corridor.”

Elsewhere in Canada

The Prairies will be entitled to below normal temperatures with the repeated presence of the polar vortex. For the Atlantic provinces, they will be favoured by a pronounced mildness, thanks to the abnormally mild temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the Rockies, more storms and snow are expected. Therefore, that will help the sector’s outdoor activities. (A.B.)

However, it’s illegal for companies to make deals on price or territory. This could have significant consequences for the company and its owner, should this rule be violated.

Some snow removal companies working in your area may contact you soon or at the start of the new season, or even during the winter in order to offer to share the work to be done, or the territory to be covered. They may also try to convince you to impose additional charges on customers if snowfalls are too frequent and too heavy during the winter.

Let’s note that it’s illegal for owners to make agreements with their competitors on the prices charged (by their own company), including increases or additional charges. Furthermore, it’s also prohibited to conclude agreements related to the territories, streets or neighbourhoods covered, as well as agreements regarding the number of customers that the company will serve.
