Environment Canada expects Ottawa's warmer-than-average winter to continue through February, as it expects the month to be more mild than in years past.
Senior Climatologist David Phillips says this winter hasn't been tough at all so far.
“We're calling for it to be again, next week, pretty cool,” Phillips explains. “For the month as a whole, we think, maybe normal [temperatures] to maybe slightly [higher] than normal, and going ahead we think it will be milder than normal.”
Phillips also anticipates Ottawa will receive more precipitation than usual, due to cooler air in the west and more mild air in the east.
He adds the weather in store for this week indicates ideal winter weather for the capital.
