Canada’s winter contrasts sharply between Vancouver and Toronto, with Vancouver experiencing an unusually warm season, possibly its first without snow in 43 years, leading to early blooms of cherry blossoms and other flowers. In contrast, Toronto faced heavy snowfall and record cold, with 46 cm of snow recorded on January 25, making it the snowiest January since 1937. Meteorologists attribute Vancouver’s warmth to high-pressure ridges, while Toronto’s cold is linked to a polar vortex. Other regions in Canada have also faced extreme conditions, including record low temperatures in Yukon.
