'Tis really is the season, isn't it? Montreal has received its first major snowstorm of the winter season and this weekend's snowfall has been nothing short of magical.

As Montrealers delight in the last vestiges of autumn warmth, there's still one thing on everyone's mind: when will the first snow touch down? The November weather forecast provides some insights that may surprise many.

While Eastern Canada is experiencing some warmer-than-usual days, the hot temps aren't going to last for much longer. In fact, Quebec and Ontario are expected to see a sudden drop in temperatures coming next week as a polar vortex makes its way across Canada.

"If this was January, temperatures below minus 20°C would be barrelling towards Ontario and Quebec," the Weather Network said in a recent report touching on an incoming bout of cold weather. Luckily for us, it's still only October, so the polar vortex isn't going to be sending frigid conditions our way just yet.

Snow and Canada are friends as old as time, with the return of crisp white coldness about as predictable as the rising and setting of the sun each day. But some publications believe, despite the limitations of even the most data-driven modern meteorology, that they can predict the winter weather across the country not only days, not only weeks, but months and months in advance.The Farmers' Almanac is perhaps the biggest standout in this category, putting out somewhat specific forecasts for months as far away as March of next year. We've taken a look at their predictions and compiled them here, so you can get a sense of what the most self-confident weathermen are thinking for the seasonal future of this country, despite persistent questions about their methodology.

The Farmers' Almanac's "time-tested weather formula" has revealed one vision of what winter will look like across Canada, from blustery beginnings to mid-season blizzards. It's also worth remembering that the Farmers' Almanac is "the oldest source of consecutively published weather forecasts, even longer than the National Weather Service."
