Canada’s spring has been cold so far. Why it may linger for longer

spring weather may soon get it.However, it’s not shaping up to be the warm weather many may be craving this time of year, says Global News’ chief meteorologist.“Going forward, I am predicting quite a bit of chilly air that’s going to linger even into the month of May,” said Anthony Farnell. Rural Manitoba areas blasted by spring snow “The fact that there is so much snowcover in the Prairies, it tends to refrigerate the air above it and can prolong winter conditions even here in the Great Lakes, even in areas that don’t have snow on the ground.”It has felt cold in parts of Canada since the spring equinox on March 20, Farnell said.
