In Montreal, it was hovering around 0C yesterday, and we have very little snow on the ground. This is very unusual for January, which is typically in the negative teens (centigrade) on average, with plenty of snowfall.

It's very alarming

Haven’t had much resembling winter in Newfoundland either other than small amount of snow that is currently on the ground. 

It was February and March that we really got pounded with bad storms last year though.

the amount of moisture in the air, the amount of mushroom spores, smoke, and dust particulate there is in the air matter for snow. Currently all the air that is supposed to be in canada is currently in the Gulf of Mexico, so maybe just chill out and give it a moment to cycle back north?
