OAKVILLE, Ont. – Make sure your snow tires are mounted, skis are waxed and your supply of sidewalk salt is sound because Canadians could be in store for a particularly stormy winter, according to The Weather Network's winter forecast.

"Due to a weak to moderate La Niña, this winter is shaping up to have two distinct personalities— while Canadians should brace themselves for periods of high-impact weather and an impressive amount of snowfall, the good news is we should get a mid-winter break," explained Chris Scott, chief meteorologist at The Weather Network, in the company’s press release. "As a whole, Canadians should expect a wild ride from start to finish. It's safe to say we'll all be participating in winter this year."
