La Niña introduces itself with Prairie cold snap

By ,
MarketsFarm — The frigid conditions which had enveloped the Prairie provinces in recent weeks is a sign La Niña has come again, according to a Kansas-based meteorologist.

Prairie winter weather a sign of La Nina repeat

Full effects won't be seen for a while yet

By ,
MarketsFarm — December marks the start of what meteorologists call “meteorological winter” — and this winter, the Pacific Ocean phenomenon known as La Nina may be rearing its head once again.
