Farmer’s Almanac forecasts snowy periods all throughout the month with the potential of some mixed rain by the third week of January. Temperatures are also expected to be “very cold” by the end of the month, though there will be some periods of sunshine.
This is in contrast with the forecast for New Year’s Day. In Toronto, Environment Canada forecasts clouds with a high of 6 C.
It will be a cloudy start to 2023 for the city, as the federal weather agency calls for clouds all throughout the first few days of January, with a 60 per cent chance of rain by Tuesday.
