The total snowfall this winter -- and this is early January -- is 193.2 cm, 223 per cent more than normal and not far from the average of 235.7cm. In a normal year, almost two-thirds of the annual winter snowfall comes after the first of January. Thus if we have had only two-thirds of our snow, we could beat the record snowfall of 1970-71 -- 435.36cm. (Information from the Ottawa Citizen).
In other words it is very snowy, even by Canadian standards. And snowy winters are becoming rarer, due to climate change, and many people are happily enjoying this "good old-fashioned winter" .
