Yes, but I must say that I am neither a meteorologist nor a climate scientist; I'm an agronomist by training.
As you say, we've had the opportunity to work closely with Ouranos and, yes, we have strangely observed that the benefits associated with snow cover will diminish over time, which will further threaten the survival of forage plants, among others, during the winter.
There will also be major weather fluctuations during the winter. The more time passes, the more we observe this. Frequent changes make winters much more difficult in terms of livestock production, specifically regarding environmental management in barns, for example.
