Forested areas in Southern Ontario, to my knowledge, haven't had any forest fires in a long time. Interesting to think about.

Fewer conifers and more deciduous trees perhaps?

Calm, overcast and uneventful.

Lake Ontario looking teal today.







Similar spot as the first photo but an hourish later. Dark clouds starting to give way. Potential for a really cool sunset but not sure if it materialized

[SignalHillHiker]

Whoa, Town. That last pic is sexy. Something about the colours are just perfectly balanced. It's like nature was trying to replicate VAN through giallo's eyes.

A really pleasant day in East Vancouver. Sunny and calm. High of 8c.

[Architype]

^ Interesting, with good candid character shots, and this is still the same city, same day.

Vancouver around Kits Beach, from today, sunny about 5C.

-4C with a wind chill of -9 and sunny. Typical winter day.

Low of -13C (wind chill of -17).

The warmspots were Pam Rocks and White Rock, BC at 9.7C

Warmest low was Kindakun Rocks, BC at 6.1C

Great pics, Giallo.

I see in your second pic that the banana palms there still haven’t had their leaves die back. That means there has yet to be a hard freeze there. (Banana leaves go limp at 2 degrees, get haggard at 0 degrees, and fully die back at -2 degrees)

That may change later this week though.

Had some snow flurries in my area of Japan over the last few days with lows around -2 and highs around 4 to 6. Could be the coldest week of the winter here.

I think we've had two nights that went below zero, but not for very long. Next weekend will probably do in the banana plants for the season.

Snow overnight. Still just a dusting.

-6C and light freezing drizzle in Moncton at 11 AM.

We got another light dusting of snow yesterday - overall we've gotten about 12 cm's over the last 6 days. About 5-10cm around the GTA of snow pack, depending on where you are.

A pretty sever arctic blast is on the horizon for much of central and eastern North America. Look out for around the 19th - 26th. We could see -20 lows in Southern Ontario & Quebec, an daytime highs as low as -14. The last time Toronto hit -20 was in February of 2023. Last time we've had a cold snap that looks to last as long and be as cold as this upcoming one was between the 20th - 29th of January 2022.

As for today...uneventful and seasonal, currently -2 with some light flurries, going up to 0.

It snowed all day today in Ottawa-Gatineau but up until this morning we didn't have that much snow with grass fully exposed next to buildings and on roadway medians.

Interesting how the Rideau Canal is now open, as it's probably quite rare to have skating there when there is almost no snow along the parkways on either side of it.

[QUOTE=SignalHillHiker;10342815]It's a windy one.

I thought this photo was a painting. The landscape, architecture and photography make for a true work of art.

Gently snowing.

Was supposed to have a backyard Christmas party a few weekends ago when it was 5 above. But whole family got sick. Had to postpone until yesterday. It was about -1 with some sun and pretty calm so good enough to stay outside for a couple hours comfortably. Of course, it happened to snow Friday overnight so had to clear my deck with the shovel. On a related note, got to go tobogganing for the first time this winter on Saturday in peak conditions.

For the party I messaged all the parents and told them their kid should bring stretchy gloves with them so they can pick up stuff like candy and chocolate. Only 5 of 13 did so. Impossible to pick up the stuff with bulky gloves on.

I have a few pairs myself in different colours to match my coat or shoes and it sure is a lot easier to handle things instead of bulky gloves. I thought everyone would have them.

-3C with a wind chill of -6 and snowing. Not heavy but a good 5 cm at least.

Low of -5C (wind chill of -11) this morning.

The warmspot was Sandspit, BC at 11.2C

Warmest low was Cumshewa Island, BC at 8.1C

I think we got about 15 cm in Ottawa-Gatineau. Nice and fluffy and light, so I left the snowblower in the garage and shovelled myself.

As for the Rideau Canal, got a couple of hours in on the weekend. 4 of the 8 km are now open. Ice conditions are pretty good and with the forecast they will only get better.

I didn't do a video but here is what it looks like. Mostly for Tancredi as everyone else on here is familiar with it.

Light dusting of snow on the ground today, first day this winter with any appreciable snow depth, even though it's just a couple of cm.

Yesterday was the first day this January with a daily high below freezing (-0.2C). Longest stretch of above-freezing temperatures in January in history.

Currently cloudy with some sunny breaks and 0 degrees at just before noon. Highs near 0 this afternoon. Still not seeing any major snowfall events in the 10-day forecast.

[MonctonRad]

-6C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 11 AM. Still only a light dusting of snow on the ground. No storms in sight.
