The regional readfrom the 2026-27 outlook · compiled 2026-07-06
Quebec's strong-El Niño problem is warmth more than storm count: 1997-98 — the winter Environment Canada says El Niño 'cancelled' — brought Quebec City its mildest winter on record, and 2015-16 repeated the trick at Tremblant. The wildcard is the El Niño-fueled subtropical jet, which can still land heavyweight synoptic snowstorms on the St. Lawrence when cold air cooperates. Expect a below-average, snowmaking-dependent season with a compressed mid-January-to-early-March core.
