The science shows Canada’s winters are warming faster than our other seasons
OTTAWA — As part of an annual festival celebrating winter, Ottawa's Sparks Street has been lined in recent weeks with ice sculptures depicting everything from animals and flowers to a Tim Hortons cup.
The average weather for this time in February is just below -8 C, said David Phillips, senior climatologist for Environment and Climate Change Canada. Mowafak Nema took second place at the Winterlude ice sculpting competition and said many sculptors are used to battling the elements. To try and keep things going, the artists covered their pieces with tarps and used dry ice and snow to preserve their pieces and make them cooler.
But the science shows Canada’s winters are warming faster than our other seasons. Phillips said average winter temperatures are now 3.3 C warmer, compared to just 1.5 C in the summer, compared to 1947-48.
