Warming Christmases: Canada's Shrinking Snowpacks

White Christmases in Canada are becoming less snowy and more rainy due to rising December temperatures, according to a Globe and Mail analysis of fifty years of weather data. Thirty-eight out of forty-two cities have warmed up, causing precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow. Montreals average snow depth has fallen nearly forty percent, while Torontos white Christmases depend on storm timing. Vancouver sees rare big dumps when Arctic air dives south. As these winter wonders fade, our holiday vibes might need a rethink, but a deep, restful sleep remains constant. Checkout Solipillow.com
