All across the country, February brought snow, cold, wind and ice, and an Environment Canada meteorologist suggests the nation’s capital had it worst
A man cross-country skis past Parliament Hill during a winter snow storm in Ottawa, on Feb. 13, 2019.It’s a good thing February is the shortest month. Canadians probably couldn’t bear another brutal day of it.
In that vein, they can look at Sudbury. It’s been swamped by 334 centimetres of snow this season, 70 per cent more than average. One meteorologist tweeted Wednesday with some good news: “This was Saskatoon’s warmest morning of the month with a low temp of -18, feeling like a balmy -29 with wind chill!”
“It could have been worse. Heck, there could have been 50-mile-an-hour wind,” Mayor Facette said. “We didn’t have the wind. It was just cold.”Victoria, which likes to remind freezing Canadians that it has the mildest climate in Canada, got an Arctic blast that delivered the second-coldest February on record. The city’s 68 cm of snow last month was 10 times the normal volume and the most since officials began tracking data in 1941.Mr.
The Urgences-santé ambulance service has had 800 calls for falls, with injuries ranging from wrist and ankle sprains to concussions. “On some surfaces, like parking lots, we’re talking about sheer ice,” said Valérie Tremblay, a spokeswoman for the service. “Even the salt and abrasives can’t handle it.”Montreal saw nine days of thaws and freezing in February, according to Mr. Phillips, meaning that whatever was liquid on the ground during the day turned to ice overnight.
