There's a new Canadian winter forecast for 2025 and 2026.

It includes details about when Quebec's weather will be snowiest and coldest this season.

Recently, the Old Farmer's Almanac put out Canada's winter forecast with long-range weather predictions for the entire country.

The season is expected to be mostly wet and mild, but even a mild winter has "snowy stretches and cold snaps."

So, you're being told to brace for snow, chilly temperatures and even the occasional polar deep freeze.

Quebec's winter forecast has called for mild and wet conditions in the southern parts of the province and mild and snowy weather in the north.

The Old Farmer's Almanac said southern Quebec, which includes Montreal and Quebec City, will get above-average temperatures this winter.

Precipitation is expected to be above normal, but that doesn't mean a lot of snow.

Southern Quebec will have lower-than-normal snow totals because much of the season's precipitation could come down as rain-snow mixes or just rain.

The coldest parts of the season are forecast to be in December and then early and late January.
